I just got engaged last night. I really would like to get married December around Christmas time. Is that way too close to Christmas? We really wanted our Honeymoon to land during Christmas Day.
I know that a lot of people might not be able to make it because of the holidays. I just wanted to know what is too close.
Thank you.

What you need to decide is what is important to you. Since the 20th would be very close to Christmas, there will a lot of people out of town but then again maybe some of the guests would be in town for the holiday. You need to decide what is most important; having guests attend or having your honeymoon on Christmas. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com

I completely agree. Plus, you are now getting very close to the date that you would be sending out invitations. So, many wouldn't have time to prepare to attend anyway. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now

Actually it would be next Christmas. I guess I should have mentioned that.
If we decide to do that, how long in advance do we send out save the dates? All these different websites say different about number of months in advance.
Thank you!!

Oh, a year may make a difference.
You still may have some who cannot make it or would prefer to be with close family during the holidays. But, if you send your save the dates about 8 months in advance, they should have plenty of time to decide and make plans. Of course you could verbally inform people now, just as long as everyone you inform will eventually receive an invitation.
There really isn't a set amount of time to send these, as one rule may not work in all situations. And, because these are relatively new, there just isn't as many strict rules. We still don't mention gifts on these though. That is the biggy. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
