It's important to start shopping around for your wedding invitations as soon as possible - whether it be online through sites like Minted or Wedding Paper Divas, or meeting with wedding stationers. The Save the Dates and wedding invitations are a guest's first indication of just what type of event this is going to be, so I encourage couples to be very thoughtful when choosing their invitations. In my opinion, there is nothing like going with a stationer who can create a custom design!
With that being said, you want to order your invitations around five months before your wedding day. This will give you plenty of time to choose the invitations you want, have them printed, and fix any printing mistakes (believe me, you do NOT want to experience a printing disaster at the last minute!). With a nice buffer of time you will have no problem sending them out six to eight weeks before your wedding!

How much ahead of time should you send out invites when having a destination wedding ?
