How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

Ladies...I need to know exactly how many weeks did you give your guest to reply back to you (with the response card) before the wedding.

Someone told me to do it for 1 month before the wedding. In the invitation book, they suggest to put it for 2 weeks.
Thanks

Re: How many weekds did you put for a reply date on the invitations

3 weeks. That's what the woman I ordered the invites with suggested.

Re: How many weekds did you put for a reply date on the invitations

I did the reply a month before - believe me, you won't have them all back by the reply date - so give yourself enough time to make calls, or to let the straggler replies to come in.

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

My reply date is May 14 and my wedding is June 19th. I sent them out on April 12. I have alot of overseas guests and I also wanted to leave time to call people who don't respond before I start the placecards and final count for the hall.

We did two RSVP dates, so we could send out more invitations to people that I really wanted to invite, but because of all the 'must invites' from my MIL I had to wait... Sort of a 'b list' but I dont really like to call it that. They would have been on the original list if my mother in law didnt insist on inviting her friends cousins.....
Ok to answer your question One was for a month before. The other about 2 weeks.

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

I did 6 weeks just in case you had to call people that didn't RSVP or if you didn't get enough people.

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

Three weeks.

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

We did 4 weeks, but we also have a few overseas invites to consider.

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

A month before is about normal - we did May 1st for a May 30th date.

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

I gave mine 5 weeks. It was WAY too long. I think I would have given 3-4 weeks if I had to do it again.

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

I'm giving everyone 4 weeks. Invites are going out the end of May.

Re: How many weeks did you put for a reply date on the invitations

Invites are going out June 26th, RSVP date is August 8th and the wedding is Sept 18th.
