How far in advance for wedding invite?

[smartcarnotsosmartdriver]

DH is often overlooked for family events so when he got a save the date last year for his cousins wedding he was so excited. He immediately took the time off work and booked a hotel. I said I was more than happy to drive us there (DH can't drive).

The wedding is in June and he's got it in his head that we aren't invited anymore and that they've changed their mind. I've said I'm sure that's not it and their invites won't have gone out yet but I thought I'd ask for some reassurance. 6-8 weeks is quite normal especially for a Saturday wedding?

Oh February is way too early for a June wedding. 6-8 weeks is generally what I'd expect too. Tell him not to expect anything until April at the very earliest.

Thank you, he wouldn't normally get so worked up but he had a bit of a rubbish time with his family at Christmas so he's still a little on edge I think.

I just got an invite for a mid-June wedding with an rsvp deadline of April, however I think this is still early. If there is a save the date, I would agree that 6-8 weeks before is normal.

I would expect invites for a June wedding to go out around Christmas or just after.

6-8 weeks is perfectly normal (traditional!), especially if save the date cards have been sent. But, lots of people do send invitations earlier these days.

Six months is way too soon IMO.

We sent out invites a little early because we didn't have save the dates and it was on a Wednesday. I've also said that if we didn't get an invite for whatever reason then we can still have a lovely trip away.

I would expect around April, the save the date are a nice way to give the heads up to people and let them organised themselves. No need to send the invitations too early.

Invites are normally sent around 6-8 weeks before the wedding

I'd expect it around now, but as you've had a save the date I'm sure they haven't been sent yet. Is there no other family you can ask to see if theirs have arrive yet?

Another one who only just about got the invitations out with 6 weeks to go. However our 'save the date' email had been specific that those receiving would definitely be receiving an invitation in due course. Our venue was fairly relaxed about when we had to confirm numbers.

As far as asking other family members I've suggested he ask his mum and if we're invited then I'm sure she would be but they're not getting in very well at the moment. I'll speak to him and if he's happy for me t do it I'll send her a message and ask if we haven't heard.

Yesterday we received an invitation to a wedding on 1st June, but we were informally told about it back in October.
I wouldn't think your dh needs to worry.

However I think the couple ought to get the invitations out fairly soon.
