Q. How far in advance should you mail out wedding invites?
A. Ideally, invitations should go out eight weeks before the wedding -- this gives guests plenty of time to clear their schedules for the day and make travel arrangements if they are out-of-towners.
Timely invitations also let you make the RSVP date earlier -- about three weeks before the wedding -- so you can get a final head count and start making a seating chart (if you'll have one) before the week-before-the-wedding crunch begins.
At the very latest, guests should receive invitations six weeks in advance, and you should receive responses two weeks before the big day.
