A complete history of Star Wars at the Academy Awards, including its 10 wins. TV & Film. The year was 1978. Star Wars, aka A New Hope, had blown up the box office the year before, becoming an international phenomenon and changing what it means to go to the movies forever.
Traditionally, invitations go out six to eight weeks before the wedding -- that gives guests plenty of time to clear their schedules and make travel arrangements if they don't live in town. If it's a destination wedding, give guests more time and send them out three months ahead of time.
I ask this because I am a little worried about timing... My mom and sister are throwing my bridal shower 6 weeks before my wedding. I was planning on sending out my wedding invitations 10 weeks before the wedding (which I believe is a little on the early side) because they include hotel information, etc. This is obviously 4 weeks before the shower which also seems like the prime time that my mom and sister would be sending out shower invites.
