His sister Minnie (or Sophie depending on the source) was appointed Postmistress and in a romantic gesture put the name of her fiance in the blank space for the requested name. That name was Albert Luckenbach. Years later when Albert and wife moved to Martinsburg the post office there was renamed Albert, Texas. The romantic naming of Luckenbach started a tradition of unconventionality that has become something of a lifestyle.

Make sure also to ask your caterer when they'll need final head counts. Typically, you should ask for an RSVP date 3 weeks before your wedding, if you sent them on time. At a minimum, send them out six weeks in advance, and set an RSVP date of 2 weeks before the wedding.
Timing the Invitations. It is customary to mail your wedding invitations about eight weeks before your wedding date. If you have already mailed your save-the-date cards, then your wedding guests will be expecting your actual wedding invitations in the mail. The process of choosing your wedding invitations and preparing them to be sent out can be time-consuming so it is important to not procrastinate and allow yourself plenty of time.
