The above timeline is approximate time to send the invitation card. But there are few factors to consider that can effect the above timings. Let us discuss each in detail –
Digital Invitation or Physical Invitation
If you are sending digital invitation then it will be delivered instantly to the guest. But if you are sending physical invitation then you have to account for the time taken to deliver the invitation. If the guest location is far from your home, then you should consider sending the physical invite well in advance accordingly.
Location of Guests
If your guests are present nearby or in the same city then you can send the digital invitation or physical invitation near to the event. But if your guests are located far away then you should send the invitation early, so that guests can plan their travel and book tickets.
The above is the approximate timeline and factors to consider when deciding the time to send the invitation.
