Too soon to send save the dates?

I agree with what the other ladies are saying... if you have the STDs ready now, go ahead and send them. I sent mine out last month for our April 2013 wedding. I wanted to give everyone plenty of time to save and plan for the trip. I included a magnet so they can keep it on their fridge and won't worry about losing a piece of paper. I included a link to our wedding website, so I had to make sure that was completed before sending the STDs, which honestly took more time than designing & preparing the STDs.

Did you ladies include a pre-RSVP?  to get a rough count?

I didn't. I simply am keeping in touch with everyone since we are only inviting 50 total to the actual wedding and they are family/friends we are in contact with on a regular basis.

good to know, its nice to see another midwest bride!!

I included a pre-RSVP and sent a letter as well. In the letter, I explained that we were sending a tentative RSVP to help with our planning and we understood that their plans may change. I said a formal RSVP would be sent along with our Invitations. If you are interested, I can post pictures of what I sent (magnet, pre-RSVP postcard, letter).

I have to say, I am running into more and more midwest brides lately. I think we all need a break from the crazy weather.

i would love too see your magnets.  I am thinking of adding that onto my boarding pass, but not sure yet!

Bride81 - here is the magnet that I sent. I ordered them through VistaPrint and got a great deal.

Our wedding is booked for August 2013 and we will be sending out our STDs next month (June). We are also in the process of working on our wedsite!! =)
