*TIMETABLE:  The standard used to be to mail the invitations six weeks before the wedding.  But that’s not nearly enough advance notice if you’re asking your guests to travel significantly, especially abroad or at peak travel times.  So send a save-the-date card up to six months in advance, and the invitation itself eight to twelve weeks ahead of the event.

*CONFIRMATION PACKAGE:  When you receive a positive RSVP for a destination wedding, send a confirmation package with all the pertinent travel information: logistics, accommodation, attire, activities.

*WELCOME PACKAGE: Available in every hotel room should be a packet of information very similar to the confirmation package – about the locale, the events and other activities, and anything else your guests might find useful.  Don’t expect everyone to have traveled with the confirmation package.

What ideas are you using for destination wedding invitations?
