Well the ones I purchased had a 2015 expiration date...I purchased them in June I think...and my event was in August...I think you should be totally fine. They are very good and were a huge hit! Hope that helps.

I ordered them for my wedding 2 months in advance. I believe my expatriation date was over a year away. Your mileage may vary. I highly recommend these as a gifts to put on the tables for your guests. Mine were fighting over them and putting the jam on the rolls we had served with our dinner. They were soooo goooood!

I would order about 6 months out just to be safe, but Jam keeps a long time and usually has a long shelf life.

I ordered them pretty early for my wedding which was last October I believe the exp date was April 2014

I used them in a Sept wedding and ordered one box as early as April and just refrigerated them. I ordered the rest in July. The shipments came to my door in less than a week though so I could've waited but was afraid they would be out of the flavors I needed. BTW, they taste amazing and are super cute.Also, expiration was a year away.

We also have a wedding in Oct. The expiration date of the jars is Jan. '15. They are such little jars that I believe people will use them quickly.

I would wait, if I was you. Many of the jars that I received the tops were popped up causing the seals to be broken. They were still good, I just needed to use them right away. Hope this helps.

They come pretty will sealed, so i wouldn't worry to much about it. However, they do ship fairly quickly. So there is not alot of harm in waiting either. Dealer's choice!

I ordered for a July 2014 wedding and the expiration date for all of them is August of 2015. You should be fine ordering now or waiting.

I bought these for my daughters wedding last June. I still have some left over. I got the strawberry preserves and honey. I opened a thing of the preserves a few days ago and it tasted as good now as when we bought them almost a year ago. They were really cute jars and were a really big hit as party favors. We tied burlap bows around the top and piles them in a big decorative bowl. I think you would be ok to get them now if you can keep from eating it :-) If I can answer anything else, please don't hesitate to ask.

I have used them all. The date was 6-9 months out, but I cannot guarantee that will be the same when you order.

I ordered mine in December and on the package the "Best by" date was the following June. But "Best by" and "Expire" are two different things. I'm sure it would last a lot longer, especially if stored as instructed on the package.

Each lot number has a different expiration date. You can ask the seller the expiration date before ordering. A reliable seller would not sell you something with an expired date or a date that is too close for you to use them in time.

The dates on the 6 boxes I received (the 4 I have left now) are staggered between July 2015 and September 2015. That is just fine for the way I use them I will need more before these have expired.

Each seller has a different date. The last product I purchase had a short date on it that the seller was very good at letting me know about before I purchased the product. The ones before had expiration dates of 11/15. I found that all the sellers were pretty good about letting you know if there was a short date or not. I would ask the seller if you can.

I will say that they do list boxes that have a short expiration date in their listing and price is usually lower. I use 50 in two months, (basically once a day) so I don't HAVE to have the date expire more than a year from order.

I would wait. They would probably stay fresh, if they remained unopened but I would suggest ordering them around the end of August/beginning of September. I hope this helps :)

I also noticed that the expiration date was just coming due when I got mine. I wasn't overly concerned as it says Best before not expires or do not use after. Also it is hebs, seasoning, salt etc. so again I wasn't overly concerned, not really happy that they were near or at the best by date.

Great question...the best answer I can give you would be they usually have an expiration date two months from the purchase date. You can always check the expiration when you get your order. If you are not happy with it send them back. Hope this helps.

I would think you need to get in touch with the seller, when you are ready to purchase. I don't see how the expiration on other people's orders will help you.

I just ordered some strips and they expire in April of 2015 so you should be good if you order them.

I don't know. The date's been rubbed off my container. As I recall, my last container lasted several months, and the date was far from the time I ran out. I usually check these things when I receive them, and don't recall being concerned about the date.

I have ordered these multiple times and they have not been close dated. I removed the date I posted after I checked my last purchase date... those would be long gone.

I have used it before after the expiration date. I wouldn't if it were several months or a year.

I have ad then for two months now and have no issue with them. I would store in a cool dark place. Keep them sealed up in the box taped closed. Happy wedding to you

If there is an expiration date, don't worry; they won't last long enough to expire...they are that GOOD!
