When Should You Send Out Wedding Invitations for a Destination Wedding?

By Alice Nichols

Planning a destination wedding can be a daunting task. One of the most important things to consider is when to send out the invitations. Depending on the location and date of your wedding, you may want to send out your invitations several months in advance or just weeks before the event.

For local weddings, it is usually recommended that you send out invitations six to eight weeks before your special day.

However, for a destination wedding, you may want to give your guests more time to plan for the trip. If your wedding is taking place in a popular vacation spot or during a busy time of year, sending out your invitations four to five months ahead of time is recommended. This will give your guests plenty of time to make travel arrangements and book accommodations. It will also give them time to save up if they need to pay for their own trips.

When sending out destination wedding invitations, make sure that all necessary information is included such as travel arrangements and accommodation details. You may also want to include any important information about the destination such as weather conditions or dress code expectations. Additionally, be sure to include an RSVP card with pre-stamped envelope so that guests can easily respond with their attendance.

For international weddings, it is advised that you send out invites eight months ahead of time in order for guests enough time to apply for passports and visas if needed. You should also provide helpful tips on how they can obtain their documents as well as information about flights and nearby airports.

No matter what type of destination wedding you are planning, it’s important that you give yourself enough time when sending out invitations so that your guests can properly prepare for the event. With ample notice and all necessary information included in the invitation package, you can rest assured knowing that everyone will be ready for an unforgettable experience!

Conclusion:

When sending out invitations for a destination wedding, it’s important to keep in mind the location and date of the event as well as provide all necessary information such as travel arrangements and accommodation details. For local weddings six to eight weeks advance notice should suffice but for international weddings eight months ahead of time is advised in order for guests enough time to apply for passports and visas if needed.
