A destination wedding is a unique way to celebrate your special day with family and friends. But planning a destination wedding can be challenging and it’s important to know when to send invitations for your big day.
When it comes to sending out invitations, timing is key. The earlier you send out your invitations, the more time your guests will have to make arrangements and plan their trip.
Generally, it’s recommended that you send out invitations around four months before the wedding date. This will give guests ample time to book flights, hotels, and make other necessary arrangements.
However, if you’re planning a shorter trip or an elopement ceremony, it’s best to send out invitations at least two months in advance. This will ensure that your guests have enough time to make travel arrangements without feeling rushed.
If possible, try to give your guests more than two months’ notice. This will help them plan their trips without having to worry about last-minute changes or cancellations.
It’s also important to be mindful of holidays or peak travel times. If your destination wedding falls during a peak travel period or on a holiday weekend, be sure to send out invitations at least six months in advance. This will give your guests plenty of time to book flights and hotels without having to worry about high prices due to the high demand during these periods.
When sending out your invites, it’s important that you include all the necessary information such as date & time of the wedding ceremony, flight & hotel information (if applicable), dress code guidelines etc. Providing this information upfront will help ensure that everyone arrives on time and well-prepared for the big day.
In conclusion, when sending out invitations for a destination wedding it’s best to do so at least four months in advance (or two months if you’re having an elopement ceremony). If possible, try giving your guests more than two months’ notice and be mindful of peak travel periods or holidays when sending out invites as these require more advanced planning from guests.
