JANUARY BRIDES.....??

When are you mailing your invites and when is your RSVP date?

TIA!

I'm mailing them later this week - and our RSVP date is December 7th.

Our home mail is HORRIBLE...so we didn't want any to get lost in the holiday rush... This way - i have plenty of time to call the NON RSVP people & i can get the seating plan and everything DONE without having to rush!!

THIS COMING MONDAY!!!! Hopefully hahahaha...if I can get FH to sit down and address his envelopes this weekend.

My RSVP date is November 14. Asians never RSVP on time (myself included...tee hee)...i didn't want to have a last minute rush with the head count.

ANd OMG....I just happened to notice that i'm at 100 days. Breathe....breathe....

im not a january bride but normally you send out invites 8 weeks before the wedding and make the rsvp date about a month before the wedding

My concern about that is our date is a Holiday Weekend - Martin Luther King Jr day is the day after the wedding. We wanted people to be able to make travel plans - as it tends to be a VERY expensive time of year...

oh yeah i completely understand, i forgot to put in that typically you send 8 weeks ahead of time but i know alot of ppl do it even more in advanced, its pretty common, especially for all of you in january bc there are ALOT of holidays right before the wedding so its a smart idea

Denise... do the math for me....

If I mailed them out the first week in Nov with a Dec 10th RSVP, is that enought time on both ends?

well im the worst at math but this should be easy hahahaha

it should be ok, it gives your guests a month to rsvp and then you have time after the rsvp date to call those who didnt reply yet(which there will be)

to be honest with you - the lady who i got my invitations from and a few websites i have read say that the earlier you send them out, the more likely people are to lose them and not RSVP - if they get it closer to the RSVP date they will send out the RSVP right away

my friend sent them out and we all got them the next day

all of my OOTers have flights already - i didnt do STDs but i contacted them by phone when i booked my hall and they all got back to us at a later date to confirm the date.

Ugh - now maybe i'll wait until mid October... I just want to make sure that they can all make appropriate arrangements...

ETA: I didn't mean the UGH towards you - i just want to get them OUT!!!!

in the end, none of us know what we are doing and we are going to always second guess our choices and people are azzholes and they arent going to RSVP
