I posted this question awhile back, because this is what I am doing to....and some people said just dont send a response card and call to follow up. But I'm not really sure. I don't know what to do about this either.

I am the day before you. I plan to have my invites in the mail by 8/5, at the 3 month mark. Our rsvp date is 9/12... I feel like people will always be late when they have to rsvp, & I don't want to have additional stress in the weeks before my wedding working on seating charts & place cards; in addition to hotel bags, & packing for a 3week honeymoon...

I was going to do an A list & B list, but decided against it. We also just cut our 300+ guest list down to 222... Our min is 150, so I feel like we're safe if 20% are unable to attend as expected, we still meet our obligation to the Catering hall to have 150 guest...

Put an earlier RSVP date on them, and just send those... Honestly, if I get a wedding invitation less than 2 months before the date, I assume we were B-Listed regardless...

Most invites go out 6-8 weeks before. So I don't know if I would feel b-list if it were before this time frame.

Maybe you can create your own response cards seperatley for those you want to invite on the B-list

You can probably order them from vistaprint for cheap. They have templates so you don't need to be that crafty. lol. Or get them from Michaels and pring them yourself

We all feel differently about different things, but most (and I've been to dozens of weddings) have RSVP dates 6- 4 weeks prior... I guess everyone's circle does things differently...
