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.

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.
Give Yourself Enough Time. Send out your invitations six weeks ahead of time. This allows your guests to clear their schedules, hire a baby sitter and acquire the appropriate attire for the occasion. When sending out invitations six weeks ahead of the ceremony, set the RSVP date for three weeks before the wedding. This will give you plenty of time to get a firm head count for your seating chart and menu. Wedding invitations mean arrangements to make for your guests.
