How far in advance do you send out show invites?

I'm new.. but so far I've been told to have the hostess send them out 2 weeks in advance-- that way they have plenty of time to plan.

I send them out 5-7 days before.

I find if I send them out before then, people tend to forget and they get buried with all the other pieces of mail they may leave around.

Two weeks. Sometimes postcards take longer to travel through the mail system (I wonder if they fall behind a machine) so you should plan more time for them to arrive than you would a letter.

The reminder phone call (made by your Host or you) will keep people from forgetting the event. I mail the invitations and make the phone call.

I was told to send out invites at least 2 weeks before the show also because postcards travel slower than letters. I'm going to be starting to send invites for my hosts now so I'm hoping I see a nice improvement in attendance and shows.
