When should you send out birthday party save the dates?

Eight weeks in advance is the prime time to send your birthday party save the dates if you want a sensational turnout. If you’ve got lots of friends living in far-off locales that need plenty of notice for traveling, send your birthday save the dates up to three months beforehand. A little extra time leaves wiggle room for guests to get organized with travel plans and block the day off on their calendar before another event snags their attention. Once you’ve dispatched your gorgeously crafted save the date, the next step is sending the official birthday party invitation. If you’ve used our platform in the past, all your previous recipients’ information will be saved so all you need to do is select who’s attending. After sending your invitations, you’ll be able to receive RSVPs and stay up to date with the confirmations.
