Generally how soon before a wedding should invitations be mailed out? What would you constitute as too short of a notice?

6-8 weeks before is appropriate, very classy
4 weeks is okay - esp. if you think people will forget (don't they mark it down?!)
less than 4 weeks = rush job/seat filler/b-list (whatever you wanna call it)

Do people ever plan weddings on 4-6 weeks notice? How do you get the invitations out quickly enough?

Ha!
Get a looseleaf notebook with dividers. Or files on your computer.
Label the dividers things like Dress, Place, Guest List, Flowers, Music, Photos, stuff like that. You have the guy. Now you need a dress and a place. The rest will fall into place.
Once you know the place, there are places that can get the invitations out fast.
The main thing is to do the standard things. Don't start tweaking and getting creative. Normal and standard.
Wear comfortable shoes, pre-wash your underwear so it doesn't itch, do your own hair and makeup so the chattan recognizes you as the same person he dated. Use a little more makeup than usual, just a little, and maybe hairspray or gel. Do your nails yourself, pale. Some perfume too. Good stuff and not tons.
See if you can get in a dental cleaning.
A pre-owned dress is fine. If you want to get one dry-cleaned, use a cleaner who is used to handling evening wear. Tell him to only clean your dress when he has just changed the fluid in the drum. Give him as much lead time as possible.
If you are making your own veil, remember that there are different shades of white, and spanking stark white isn't the same color as ecru or ivory. Be careful to match the dress correctly.
Keep a careful list of gifts and send thank you notes immediately. Be a secretary.
Your mother will handle the food and the place, let her. Help as needed, but let her be in charge. Say yes to everything, have no opinions, and tell her to spend less not more money, when choices need to be made.
There.
You can do it.

Huh? What are you talking about?
I asked about timing with invitations.
