timing of save-the-dates and invitations

James made a comment last night about giving our guests ten months notice for our wedding. I was wondering - when should we send out save-the-dates? I was thinking about combining it with a holiday card in December, which would give our guests 5+ months notice, though of course the word would probably be out less formally among family and friends. Then I saw this:


Timing is everything. Invitations for weddings and very formal events should be sent out six to eight weeks in advance. A “Save the Date Card” sent three to four months in advance is also appreciated for these events.


So I guess the holiday card idea would be plenty of notice, right?

Sounds good but also I would e-mail out a date when you know it, when people hae to come across the country, more notice is better than less.
