Re: Please help me with my RSVP date

I would do April 17th, giving you a month to chase the ones that haven't responded.

The invitation place I went to said a month in advanced and normally put like a thursday so the people who forget have a better chance of remembering that weekend after (not sure what the logic is there) but according to her April 17... ooh and it is a thursday .. weird. hth

when do you have to give your final numbers to the RH? I'd say 2 weeks before that date.

April 17th. Gives you a week to wait for stragglers. Then another week to track them down after that. And then a week to do your seating chart and placecards and then you can give your RH your final count with one week to go.

isn't 2 months before your wedding a little early to have people RSVP?? Just curious I am not even close to getting invites haha I stil have 11 months but it will be nice to know the normal amount of time especially since my wedding is 5 days before christmas and I would need to send them out early.

i was thinking the same lol...im like oh no i dont even have my invites yet...but i think april 17th is fine, well at least thats what i am doing. Like someone else said that will give me a week for people who are late and then a week after that to contact those who didn't rsvp. I have to give final count 10 days so on may 7th i go to my RH with the final numbers. I think from april 17th to may 7th is more than enough time for late responders and also to track ppl down

I was thinking of putting an RSVP of September 1st- which is a month & a half- but only because ours is a holiday weekend and because we are not sending out STDs- since yours is around the holiday, you might want to consider that too.

eta- melissa i think a month ahead is fine for yours since its on a normal weekend

I think Diana ( invite lady) picked that date b/c August is such a busy wedding time and so I wouldn't be stressing, plus there are always people you have to follow up on

thanks!!! yeah I was wondering since mine is 5 days before christmas maybe i should have a little bit of time to allow for late RSVPers haha especially knowing my dad's side of the family. They will tell me as they are arriving to the wedding that they are coming.

plus i am not sure if I am sending out STD's either so maybe that is a good idea.

i am giving 2 weeks time to follow up on people...if by may 7th i dont know peoples responses then i am not even going to continue trying to find out and i am just automatically putting them down as not coming. If any of fh's side hasnt responded then hes handling that, if my parents friends havent responded then they'll handle that...if any of my friends dont respond then ill handle it...other than that i am not going to go crazy. For my e-party ppl drove me nuts so im not even going to care about inconsiderate ppl, 2 weeks after my rsvp date is alot of time for them to respond, after that i am saying sorry but its too late hahahaha
