We have very small number of people to send it too and most people knew what we are up to. My invitations were not straight ahead invitations, it was more of what's going on/invitations thing. And we figured if anyone wants to come, they still have time to book it. And if not they will know that we did not forget them and will have AHR/party with them that place and that date. Our first AHR/dinner will be on December 30, second one will be on January 21 and 3 will be once I know that most of our military friends are home. So yeah, because of all that we decided to send our invitations at a standard 3 month mark, as they advise in all the magazines and websites. I know that most people were sending STD far in advance so people can save and actual invitations 3 month in adavance
