When to Send?

Good Morning!  I can't believe it's already the first day of March!! 2010 is flying by.  This morning and Wednesday I will be posting on the It's Better Together blog.  It's Better Together is a group of creative professionals and entrepreneurs that meets periodically in the central Florida area.  I love being a part of this group and I'm thrilled they've asked me to post on the blog.

While thumbing through my Emily Post's Etiquette the other day I came across a list that I thought was particularly helpful.  When sending invitations, sometimes it's hard to know when to send which type of invitation.  So direct from from Ms. Post, here is the run-down on invitation mailings.

Wedding Invitations: 6-8 weeks

Anniversary Party: 3-6 weeks

Bar or Bat Mitzvah: 1 month

Bon Voyage: Last minute to 3 weeks

Charity Ball: 6 weeks to 3 months
