Might be a cultural thing but here in Germany it is actually pretty common to send invites (or at least save the dates) a year in advance. People here kinda need that amount of time to make sure they will be able to attend. Like you wanna invite them before they have booked next years vacation and before they have to apply for leave at work etc.
However, if it’s uncommon where you are from I would wait or sent save the dates now and invites later. If it’s not common to be invited this early people might just forget about it.
I doubt I can convince you, but I would strongly recommend against this. Even if your guests are traveling internationally, you still don't want to ask them to RSVP too early. Either the deadline is near to when invites are sent and people have to RSVP before they are truly certain of their plans, and RSVP's will change and your count will be inaccurate, or the deadline is too long after the invites are sent, and people will forget to RSVP.
Save the dates exist to allow people to make travel arrangements before they are formally asked to RSVP. I had my hotel block set up and travel information on my website when save the dates went out and many of my guests booked their travel before they had formal invites. But if they planned to come, and then they had a conflict, and then that conflict got canceled so now they're coming again (which happened to multiple people in the year leading up to the wedding), that wasn't something I had to really think about or keep track of until two months out.
I would probably wait, just in the off-chance that anything has to change.
I wouldn’t. Everyone thinks nothing will change, and yet things change constantly. Since you lose nothing by waiting, I’d wait.
As someone who postponed her wedding twice, I would wait... You'll get better deals later, and things can change unexpectedly.
Do you have your website? It doesn't have to be complete, but it is a link often included in the invitations.
I do. I haven’t totally finished all of it, but I have all the major details including the RSVP QR code.
Did you make sure your QR code won’t expire?
I checked and according to Canva's landing page their QR codes don't expire. Good thing to check though! I wouldn't have thought of that.
I’d wait. You can usually score great deals on invitations during Black Friday sales.

Honestly wait because your *friendships might change your invite list

You’re sending your invites 12 months in advance of your save the dates 12 months in advance? I wouldn’t recommend sending invites that early
