6-8 weeks before your wedding day. Any closer to the day than that and people will be shuffling around trying to get those days off of work, childcare and transportation. You will end up with more negative RSVP's because you waited too long and left your guests with little time to prepare to attend your wedding. Any farther out than 8 weeks and guests will forget (not all, but it's much more likely). If you are having a wedding that is somewhat far to travel for most of your guests, it wouldn't be a bad idea to send out a "Save the Date". A "Save the Date" is a notice in the form of a card, magnet, e-mail (whatever you want, those are just examples of typical ways that people choose) that let's people know that A. You are getting married B. They are invited and should expect to receive an invitation in the mail sometime later and C. The date, time and location of your wedding. "Save the Dates" aren't necessary but if your guests might benefit from 4-6 extra months to get ready to attend your wedding (get that day off from work, buy plane tickets, rent a car, reserve a hotel room, buy you a gift, get a new outfit to wear to the wedding, etc.) because it's far away from them and requires extra arrangements to be made; then send them to guests between 4-6 months before the wedding. "Save the Dates" in no way replace the wedding invitation. They merely allow guests to "Save the Date", so that they can mark their calendars and reserve that day for your wedding only.
