hello hello,
I think it's a good time to start gathering feedback early (getting married in Oct, & we're starting to craft the survey alr), then confirm again abt a month before?

Mine is in end of July, many of my guests are relatives so I guess they are more traditional and not too into the idea of FB invites. Now I'm waiting for the coordinator from my wedding reception to contact me about the printing of invites. I think its 3 months before? I'm also quite excited and actually hoping to inform my friends and relatives during CNY period.

The earlier the better... You'll realise soon enough that you'll be prompting people time and time again to RSVP (this is based on my personal experience as well as friends' experiences - I've yet to hear of a friend who doesn't have to do this) so the sooner you start (with invites etc), the earlier you'll know the actual numbers and can then confirm your tables and all the seating arrangements (you won't want to stress out over all these at the last minute)... Also, I like using Google Forms to redirect people from FB / WhatsApp to indicate their RSVPs (makes it easy for you to tally all the responses in one place including details like any plus ones or dietary preferences) and this can also cut down on the actual number of invitation cards to print out as you can set your form for people to indicate if they actually want a hard copy or if they're fine with just the soft copy e-invite. Of course, for the less tech savvy people and for really close invitees like family, then I would suggest you still pre-empt them with the details but follow suit with an actual invitation card itself regardless of what their eventual RSVP outcome would be like. Happy inviting and planning!

Thanks for the advise! Guess i should be more proactive and contact my reception coordinator to ask about the invites soon.

For myself i inform a year in adv as mine was at xmas eve and sent polite reminder to them 1 month and 1 week before my BIG DAY.
I think the yardstick to go by would be to inform people as early as possible.

you would be surprised to see how much your guests feel so honoured and appreciated by your sincerity.
