Questions couples ask
When should we send save the dates for a destination wedding?
As soon as the date and place are fixed. Guests need time to book holiday, flights and rooms, so earlier is kinder than for a wedding at home.
When should the RSVP deadline be?
Earlier than for a wedding at home. Venues and hosts abroad often need final numbers well before the day, so many couples set it around two to three months before.
What if our wedding is sooner than this?
Squeeze the steps closer together and tell guests as soon as you can. Steps whose dates have already passed are marked, so you can catch up on them first.
