Q.I didn't mail Save The Dates, so when should I send out my invitations?
 A. Thanks to the mighty-mighty web, it's never too late to send out your Save The Dates. Compile a list of e-mail addresses for all your guests then send them via the internet. The hardest part will be tracking down addresses for everyone, but when you're done, you'll be just a click away from instant notification. It can be tempting to skip sending Save The Dates, but it's important to do so as a courtesy to your out-of-town guests. They will need as much advanced notice as possible to save and plan for travel and hotel arrangements. Sending them online will also save you time and money. Wedding Channel members can create, personalize, and send formal or informal notes or cards using the fast and easy Save The Date tool.
Wedding Channel experts recommend mailing wedding invitations eight weeks before the wedding and sending Save The Dates six to eight months beforehand. It's better to send STDs and invites closer together than to skip sending them altogether.
