When should I send my wedding celebration invitations?

That depends on what type of event you’re planning. Traditionally, different wedding celebrations adhere to different timelines: - __Engagement party invitations:__ If an engagement party falls shortly after the big announcement, send invitations as soon as possible. Otherwise, send invites at least one month prior to the celebration. - __Bridal shower invitations:__ Send bridal shower invitations at least __six to eight weeks__ before the shower. This gives any out-of-town guests time to plan accordingly. - __Bachelor & bachelorette party invitations:__ Bachelorette and bachelor invitations should be sent at least __six to eight weeks__ prior to the celebration. If you’re planning a destination bachelorette or bachelor party, consider sending invitations even sooner. - __Rehearsal dinner invitations:__ Send rehearsal dinner invitations about __three to six weeks__ before the rehearsal dinner. You can also include rehearsal dinner invites with the wedding invitations.
