I specialize in weddings and especially wedding invitations. Proper etiquette is to send them out six to eight weeks prior to the wedding to give guests time to make their travel arrangements. If you think people need more time than this, then send out their invitations earlier or send out save the date cards as soon as you know your wedding date and location.
These are cards that enable you to send notice early without breaking the rules of ettiquette.
I'd send them out as soon as possible so your guest coming in from other states/countries can make the needed travel arrangements now, and not hit any last-minute problems or delays in hotel or flight accommodations. Why not send them out with Christmas cards this year?
I would say that, with it being such a big trip for some people, you should give six or seven months notice to your guests. I know that sounds like a long time, but they're going a long way ;) If it had been a location that was relatively local to all of your guests then I would have advised a couple of months, but obviously you will have family and friends with lots of different types of jobs (so might have different levels of complication getting time off work), different incomes (so some may have to spend longer than others to save up the travel costs) and the such like. Your far-away-guests will really appreciate the extra time to prepare ;).
Send them right away it's never to soon, well I mean I wouldn't send them like 5 years ahead of time or anything but sending them right now is perfect.
Well I guess you just do it on you own time my sister sent hers out 2 monthes before but my bestfriend sent hers out 3 weeks before.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
