don't worry about giving them a month to reply ... some guests i only gave them like a couple of weeks to get back to me LOL ... if u like them get them :)
i say go for it. I'm giving my guests 4 weeks to reply. The OOT guests might have less depending on when they get their invites. I'm planning to call them towards the rsvp date for a reply.
I honestly think that 2 weeks isn't enough time to get your head count, finalize numbers and create seating charts.....I know that there are so many people who wait on sending back invites, even though there is a RSVP date. Unless you are willing to throw all late RSVP'ers at one table, then I think it's cutting it really close. You should do a RSVP of AT LEAST April 17 in my opinion. I wouldn't take any chances...

Denise, you LOVE those invites, so you should get them! Let the company know how important it is to get them asap and hope that they come in sooner than expected. But I think 6 weeks is fine.

im willing to not care about those who dont rsvp on time, and that is whether i sent them ahead of time or not. If by May 1st, two weeks before my wedding somebody doesnt have the decency to reply to me then i dont care about them coming. If someone doesnt have the courtesy to send a rsvp 2 weeks before or doesnt know yet then my wedding is not important to them so they dont have to come, less money for me to spend on the RH anyways. For my e-party i saw how inconsiderate a few people were. For the most part most send back but even the day of people were changing their answers which was ridiculous. I had some calling me a couple of times the day of my e-party while i am running around doing so much, meanwhile i had paid for everybody already the week before so not like i could've changed it the day before. Whoever doesnt answer me by may 7th which is 10 days before then i dont want them coming lol its as simple as that. Just like my wedding is not important to them then its not important for me that they come. I really dont want people coming who dont give answer two weeks before, i am not going to stress myself out for inconsiderate people, its really not worth it. Those who care will rsvp right away

I definitely agree with this. If you love the invites order them. Hopefully most people will respond ahead of time. If not then I agree it's not worth the stress. My friend actually made the RSVP date 3 weeks before and he got everything done in time.

I only gave 5 weeks to respond. they don't need more time. They all know when the wedding is anyway.
Just be careful b/c if there is something wrong witht he invite then you are really in trouble. I hate to be debbie downer but I just went through this with my dress.

So then if you think that under 2 weeks is enough time to gather lists and make seating charts, go for the invites you want. It would suck to leave something that will stress you out beyond belief to just days before the wedding. I'd be scared of freaking myself out, breaking out in stress pimples or becoming a Bridezilla! To me, invites are a microscopic detail of the wedding and noone even notices them.....I'd sacrifice an invite over stress, especially before my wedding. JMO

well ill be away the end of april anyways because ill be in vegas so i will have to wait to do seating charts until the beginning of may no matter what. Most of my seating chart is done, for all of fh's family which all said they are already coming and thats a big chunk of our guest list about 100 ppl lol, after that i have tables for now and once i get rsvps i change it around and have alternatives for some that i am not sure about. We're doing tables by fh's family, my family, his friends and then his friends are in groups his LI friends his howard beach friends, his astoria friends so their tables are done lol then bp, my friends, his coworkers, then the rest are misc so its basically their tables i have to do.
I work better under stress, for eparty i did the same thing, i did seating charts before i sent out rsvps and as answers came in i changed around as i got them, if i had to make any changes.
I am trying to figure it out, i might go with my 2nd choice but bc of other reasons not sure

idk - i know you say you dont care about the late RSVPers but honestly, it doesnt matter if u care or not
there are going to be people that RSVP late, and still think they are coming - i felt like saying 'too bad, so sad' to the late responders BUT do you really want a scene at your wedding when people realize they dont have a place card?
just keep that in mind - i think its cutting it a bit close bc the last two weeks can be so hectic
good luck with your decision!

That's great then if you already have a chart with people that you know are coming! I'd make sure the company will guarantee a date of delivery and then go for it then!
