Featured question from last newsletter's reader survey:

"What is the proper amount of time to send out 
save the date notices?"

The "standard of the party industry" is:

Wedding Save the Dates

6-7 months prior to the date

for destination or holiday weddings, 9-12 months is appropriate

official invitations should go out 6-8 weeks in advance

Social Party (Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc.) 
Save the Dates

2-3 months prior to the date

official invitations should go out
4-6 weeks in advance for a more formal party;
2-3 weeks for an informal party

Thank you Kirkland & Ellis for the kind words!   

"I have had the opportunity to work with numerous caterers in different states over the past several years and NONE of them compares to Serendipity!  Hands down, they are the best!!!!  Their professional staff, customer service, and meal presentations are exceptional!  Did I mention that the food is absolutely delicious?  During our six week stay [in Denver], Serendipity was our sole caterer and prepared meals for us everyday of the week (breakfast, lunch, boxed lunches and dinner).  Amazingly, we never tired of the food as they were very creative in their menu selections.  Serendipity is unlike your typical caterers and
I highly recommend them for ALL of your catering needs."
