Our wedding is April 23, our response date is March 20, & we plan on mailing the invites on February 20.
The confusion comes in when I think about getting 'No's.'
We guaranteed 110 people & are inviting 127. I already know for a fact that 2 people are not coming. So, that really leaves us with room for 15 people to say no.
What if more people respond 'No' but wait until just before the RSVP date to respond? How can I send out additional invites if the RSVP date has past??

Re: a little confused....
you would have to get invitations printed with a later rsvp date.

yes, you can send out more invites as you get no's ...
you can also speak with your RH and try to negotiage the guarantee to 100 instead.

We told our add-ons that we would like them to share in our day and would they do us the honor ... and when we got verbal yeses we sent the invitations (past RSVP date) as a courtesy. People were understanding - I didn't hear any complaints.

Re: a little confused....
well unless you get all the no's at the last minute... just send out to a b-lister as soon as you get a no...

If it just comes down to a couple of people you can always call and ask people on your B list if they ever recieved the invitation to the wedding and that you need a yes or no answer. If they say they can come then send them out another invitation and verify their address so you know it gets to the right place.

Re: a little confused....
in all honesty, i would send out a lot more invites in your first batch. we guaranteed 160 and send out over 200 invitations. we had about 175 yeses which was great. until this week... had a lot of unexpected cancellations and now were at 164. JUST making it. life happens and things come up. if you can, id send out like maybe 10 more invitations or so, jmo
