    OK guys, another question from me.
    Just writing out the day invites to be sent this weekend and I'm wondering
    do we send the evening invites out at the same time?
    Or is it ok to leave it till nearer the date?

    Thanks in advance (this forum is a lifesaver)!!

    I'd sent them out the same time.
    If you want people to go, you still need to give them adequate notice, especially if they need to arrange travel / accomm or babysitters!

    I think normally evening invites are sent out about 2-3 weeks before the wedding. I have never heard of them being sent out at the same time, but maybe in some places they are? These days a lot of people don't even send evening invites, they just say it or ask people on social media?

    The girl that did my sisters invites said not to send them out until 3 weeks before the wedding - if you had any refusals to the day invitation you could do a '2nd round' of invites for anyone who you were just going to ask to the evening - if you get my meaning. She didnt do that but seemingly that's how people do things!

    Would you go to the full wedding if you were only good enough to be invited as someone else refused? especially 3 weeks before hand.

    You wouldn't be giving them 3 weeks notice though. You send out your main invites with a reply date - most people who can't come will reply pretty much straight away. You can then send out another few if you want to people who you were only able to invite to the evening. So they would only be getting their invites a few days after everyone else.

    Now it's not what I would do - I would just reduce numbers however if your venue has to have a minimum amount that is what others have done.
