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. We didn't say it was a romantic lifestyle, we said it was a unconventional 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.
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.
