For girls that already sent out their invites

what was your timeframe for the rsvp's

the invitation place I went to said 3 weeks before your wedding date. I thought this was cutting it close.

Sent my invites Dec. 26th
RSVP Feb. 16th
Wedding March 16th

One month before this way it gave me two weeks to find missing rsvps - and honestly i am still getting rsvp's back from people who didn't give us a def. answer and we called them on it. All of them are no's though and that is how we counted them.

Re: For girls that already sent out their invites

RSVP date March 31st
Wedding day May 3rd

thought it was easier to put the last day of the month as an RSVP date.

Re: For girls that already sent out their invites

We just ordered our invites yesterday and the girl that was helping us said the RSVP date should be 4 weeks before. So this is how we are doing it:

Send out: Memorial Day weekend
RSVP by: June 25th
Wedding: July 25th

Re: For girls that already sent out their invites

You need AT LEAST 4 weeks.

Re: For girls that already sent out their invites

I did mine at exactly 4 weeks before. It's the perfect time frame. It gave me one week to allow for stragglers....the next week to follow up on them. Then this week I'm doing my seating chart and placecards, and next week i bring that to the RH.

Our RSVP date is May 1 for our May 30 wedding.

Re: For girls that already sent out their invites

I would defiantly do 4 weeks, you will always have stragglers that don't RSVP on time. So you want more time to have to call all those people etc.

Re: For girls that already sent out their invites

I am sending mine out the first week of April for my June 21st wedding. That is about 11 weeks before or 2 and a half months, but we live in Pennsylvania and most of our guest live in PA too. So, we want to make sure they get a hotel room, since we are having a summer wedding in an area popular with boaters/vacationers.

The A Listers should get their invite the first week of April, but we asked them to RSVP four weeks later on May 1st. Then after we get back their RSVPs, we can invite the B Listers the first week of May and they have six weeks to get in their RSVP before the wedding. We figured that would give them time to get a hotel and plan to travel, etc. Our save the dates went out to the A Listers in January, but the B Listers did not get any.

Re: For girls that already sent out their invites

I didnt end mine out yet. But i made the RSVP a month before the wedding.

this way if i have to track down any responses i have a little time before the two week before the wedding deadline for my RH.
