We sent out our invites 10 weeks in advance and our RSVP was 5 weeks away from our date.

We also sent out STDs but I wanted plenty of time to chase down people who didn't respond and it was much less stressful that way, I'm so glad we did things a lil ahead of schedule.

3 months in advance..two RVSP dates 8 and 6 weeks in advance....I did not want to stress over who was coming and I have a lot of projects that depend on attendance...so I did it really early.

Re: How far in advance did you send out your invites??

Sent out the invites 9 weeks in advance. Asked for the responses 5 weeks in advance...

We have a lot of OOT guests so we wanted to give them more notice (even though we sent STDs) because the hotel block was released the day after our response date.

Of course, we're still waiting on 18 deadbeats...
