Timing can be key to party planning

When planning a party, timing can be the key to ensuring your celebration goes off without a hitch.

In general, invitations should be sent at eight weeks in advance to give out-of-towners ample time to set up travel arrangements.

Also, for more formal events, don't be shy about sending save-the-date announcements. These announcements can be sent out up to three months in advance and may serve as a way of getting an early head count on total number of guests.

Invitations for events on holiday weekends, when many people find their social schedules fill up quickly, can also be sent earlier, especially if the holiday weekend coincides with a special event.
