We are getting married 3/28/2015 but are scoping out websites for deals on invites, so trying to have our details nailed down.
Our venue requests a "soft" attendance count 30 days in advance (which would be February 26th), final count 10 days before. I'm struggling with our RSVP date - should it be February 20th (to allow for calling non-RSVPers) or should we push it back to March something, and just give them an educated guess on February 26th based on what we have/have not received at that point? Thoughts??
Re: XP: RSVP Date
Our RSVP date was Sept. 25 for an Oct. 13 wedding. We had probably 80% of our RSVPs by six to eight weeks before our wedding. People were really good about getting them back to us.
Your soft numbers are just that -- soft. You can always add to them but you can't go lower than whatever your soft numbers are.
