When should you send wedding invitations if you are having a joint wedding with another couple?

For a joint wedding with another couple, send invitations 8 to 12 weeks before the date. This is slightly earlier than a single couple might need, because you are coordinating two families and two friendship groups. Some guests may not know the other couple well, so they need more time to decide, arrange travel, and feel comfortable. Start by agreeing the guest list and the invitation wording with the other couple, so there is no confusion about who is hosting or who to RSVP to. You might also want to send save the dates 6 months ahead, especially if the wedding is in a popular season or a destination. When you send the invitations, make it clear on the card who is invited from each household, and include a single RSVP deadline that works for both of you. If you are using a wedding website, you can have one joint site or two linked pages, but keep the details consistent. Remember that the legal notice period for marriage in England and Wales is 28 days, and in Scotland 29 days, so your own planning must allow for that. For a joint wedding, it is kind to give guests a little extra time, so 10 to 12 weeks is often the sweet spot.
