RSVP Date Help

So, I am about to order the invitations online and it asks me for the RSVP date. Do I call my RH about this? I don't know how far in advance this should be! TIA!

Re: RSVP Date Help

You should make the RSVP date about a month before your event date. So make yours for the end of Feb.
YOur final count should have to be in about a week before your wedding. That way you still have some time to call people that forget to send back their RSVPs (and trust me you'll have TONS of those )

Figure a RSVP date of 4 weeks before the wedding. I know some people who have done the rsvp about 6 weeks before the wedding though...So figure sometime around the middle to end of Feb.

Re: RSVP Date Help

Thanks for the help, ladies! My friend said the same thing. A month to the date, it is.

Re: RSVP Date Help

We did a month to the date also but...if I had to do it again, I would put it 5 weeks before. The extra week is valuable time for you to put tog your seating chart, call people who haven't RSVPed (esp if you have a large wedding!) and do all those last-minute things before your day
