what I was told and what I do...I was always told to send out the Postcards/Invites to the people who have replied 'maybe' or 'yes' to attend - about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks before the Show. What do you think of that???
I (or the Host will forward) send out an email 1 month in advance; postcards as a reminder to the 'maybe' or 'yes' people 1 1/2 - 2 weeks (sometimes closer to the Date), and a reminder call 1-2 days in advance.....
