Preparing your guest list!
You can make an "A" list and a "B" list, but be prepared. People do compare notes about when they received their invitation. Oh yes...they absolutely do.
Invitations should go out six-to-eight weeks before your event; eight weeks to out-of-town guests for sure. Make it eight-to-ten weeks when it’s a holiday weekend like Labor Day, Memorial Day or Thanksgiving! Or, I’ll have to say I told you so!
You can mail a save-the-date card, especially if your event is corporate or non-profit. For private parties, your guests tend to think a save-the-date is a bit, well, pushy...but do what you think is right.
