My wedding is March 4th, 2023 and I am wondering when to send out my invitations with the normal timeline being so close to holiday season. I feel like before Thanksgiving is too early, but also after Jan 1 is too late as that puts me at just about 8 weeks prior to wedding. My venue needs final guest count 2 weeks in advance now due to supply chain issues--which I totally understand--but my husband's family is notoriously bad about RSVP-ing, so I want to make sure to give us plenty of time to reach out personally to them should we not receive responses. Our room block also closes a month before the wedding and want to give people ample time to book those rooms once they've received invites.
Would sending them out in between Thanksgiving and Christmas get lost in the shuffle of Christmas cards and other gifts? In your opinion would I experience any major mail delays doing so?
I have them essentially ready to print, but I'm having issues figuring this out given mail slow-downs and other holiday factors.
