When Should I Send Invitations for a Destination Wedding?

By Robert Palmer

Destination weddings have become increasingly popular over the last few years. They offer a chance to combine the traditional elements of a wedding with a unique and exciting getaway. But when it comes to timing, there are some important considerations to make when deciding when to send out invitations for your destination wedding.

The first step is to decide on a date. This will depend on the destination you choose, as well as any other factors such as peak season or special events that may be taking place in the area. Once you’ve settled on a date, you’ll want to give your guests ample time to plan their trip, so be sure to send out invitations at least 8-12 weeks in advance.

It’s also important to consider how much notice you need from your guests. If you need them to make any special arrangements, such as booking flights or hotels, it’s always best to give them plenty of time in advance. If possible, try and give them at least 6-8 weeks notice so they can make sure they have all their travel and accommodation plans sorted.

Finally, don’t forget about save the dates! While these aren’t necessary for every wedding, they can be helpful if many of your guests will be traveling from out of town or abroad. Save the dates can help provide an extra reminder so your guests are sure not to miss your big day.

Conclusion:
When sending out invitations for a destination wedding, it’s important to consider the date carefully and give your guests enough time (8-12 weeks) in advance so they can plan their trip accordingly. If there are any special arrangements needed from your guests (such as booking flights or hotels), then 6-8 weeks should be given in advance. Save the dates can also provide an extra reminder for those who may be traveling from far away for your wedding day!
