How much notice do you think one should give to someone for a destination wedding in a different continent?
Our family member is getting married next year and not wanting to invite the entire family. Some people have received a save the date but most friends and family have not. |

| I don't understand the question. Save the dates already went out to the people you want to attend and you're looking to figure out when it will be "Too late" to send them out to the people you don't want to attend? How wildly immature. |

| I'd need 6 months notice to coordinate time off with work, flights, if I can bring my kids or need childcare, etc |

| I think my DD sent them 6 months in advance, maybe a little longer. I've generally received them about that far in advance as well. We are going to a wedding next month and the hotel reservations needed to be made before the formal invites went out. |

As soon as you know the date, I’d socialize it with the people you REALLY want to come. The earlier you let people know, the better your turnout will be.
So I’d say 6+ months at least. |

We received a save the date. There are many other people who did not receive one but they are probably getting an invitation. This is a June wedding in Europe. So these friends and family are asking US details. Ultimately, they may or may not be invited. Everyone knows this couple is engaged. |

| If you haven't received a save the date when others did maybe you are not invited. Or maybe they need more notice than you do for passports, etc.? |

It's not your place to answer. |

| Why are they asking you? Are the MOB or MOG? |

| Tell whoever sent you the save the date that you are getting questions from people and it's awkward. |

| Another continent? As soon as possible. If one knows others are getting them and they haven't, then they should not feel obligated in any way to save the date or attend. |

| Destination wedding shouldn’t Save the Date - just skip straight to invitations. You know you’re having the wedding so why delay the notice? Invite and have a reply date far enough out (because most folks have to plan) and then if there is room, you can backfill with more folks who tend to be more spontaneous |

Why would you tell others that you received a STD when you know they didn’t?
If they haven’t received an i cite it’s none of their business what the details are. You’d be a complete ass to tell them anything. |

B lists are disgustingly tacky. |

Why? It's not confidential information. Weddings are public. |
