alot of that depends on the caterer. They prob want a final number two weeks before, so to get your numbers right I would do 3 weekds before. A big problem is when people don't rspv and show up anyway. For that I'd suggest putting RSPV required for dinner. That's what I'm going to do. Good luck.

Typically invitations are sent out 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding and a final guest count is due to the caterers 7 days out. I recommend at least 2 weeks of follow up time from the date of your RSVP date so you're not rushing to get your guest count in on time. So an RSVP date of 3 weeks after sending out the invitations is a fair and adequate amount of time.

You should make the RSVP by date about two weeks before the wedding. A lot more will trickle in after the deadline, but this will give you time to change the number with the caterers.

Generally, this depends on the caterer. If your caterer requires final numbers 2 weeks before the wedding - you need to set your RSVP date 1 week earlier so you have time to call those who forget to RSVP on time.
If you don't need the numbers for the caterer, then 2-3 weeks before the wedding is generally a good time frame.

I was told to send invites about a month ahead of the wedding, then ask for RSVP by two weeks prior. Ask your caterer or dining hall when they want numbers by, then give it a few days extra as not everyone sends it back in time.

RSVP date should be set for approx one week before your hall or caterer needs the final count.
That gives you a week to track down by phone all the rude people who didn't respond to the invitation.

yep, you should attend till eventually after june thirtieth now that you position that on the invite. some human beings reply right away because it truly is how they do issues . Others will set it aside, intending to reply, yet then understand they nonetheless have a month till eventually that is "due". (typically they could ignore about it with some a lot time to reply). they're intending to reply, they only have not performed it yet. Then there is others that are only elementary rude and do not RSVP to at least some thing. you'll favor to call them after the june thirtieth cut-off date to get an exact count number.

You first have to check with your caterer to make sure you have a final cut off date for that. Then go back by a week or ten days. You may have to phone people who don't RSVP. Actually, make it two weeks to be safer.

if your wedding is in april and you are sending ou tthe cards on february then i guess it would take about amonth or so but some peole do it like the next week and some just wait till like 2 or 3 weeks before its the wedding so they ACTUALLY know they are going to the wedding and they dont do it the next day or so because they are not sure if they are going. dont worry if you dont get all your invitations back by a week or so they are still oeople that need to figure ou t what they are going to od that day

I'd have it RSVP's for March 15th.
That way you can contact people who you haven't gotten RSVP's from to see if they can come or not, as well as giving the ceremony/reception hall a final tally on the # of people going to be there.
