First Time Mailing Out Invitations for Host

[babywings76]

What is the ideal time frame for mailing out the invitations? Should I do it 2 weeks before her show? I will also be making her reminder calls 2 days before the show. Any thoughts?

I usually mailed them out 10 days before and I do the reminder calls 2 days before like your doing. I think you will be fine Amanda. It works and then after the calls I talk with the hostess the night before and let her know who is coming and such who wanted to look at a book and who had an order for her to collect.

I send mine out 2 weeks in advance.

I like mine as close to 2 weeks as possible. I also call 2 days prior to the show as well it gives me an idea on how many people will be in attendance.

I'm about 10 days. I tell my hosts that I don't want my invite to be the first time they are hearing about the party. It's merely a formal invite.

I also shoot for about 10 days. I think if they get them too early, they forget about it long before the reminder calls are placed. If they are mailed 10 days in advance, only a week passes before they are reminded about the party...so it's still fairly fresh in their minds...

I mail mine out two weeks to 10 days.
