im in a local wedding buy and sell on fb and recently made a comment re STDS and RSVP dates when it comes to e-vites..... I made a personal reference about how a family member send STD evites with a RSVP date that was over a year away and that she got a lot of No's right away , her only response was 'well STDs, that would be very confusing". 

ARE YOU F'IN KIDDING. 
(Family members save the dates had an rsvp date of a month later)

I am confused.  There is no such thing as a STD evite.  STDs are not invitations.  They do not require responses.
I don't really understand this post.

Sorry. Cousin sent e-vites over a year away and RSVP date was at a year. So I considered them STDs as we call them here... aka Save the Dates.  Lady on buy and sell considered it a sexual joke instead of snark on Evites. Which is why I posted here

Whoa!  Wedding invitations one year in advance?  And evites, too!   Sit back and wait for the drama to start.

I am older.  When I married, there was no such thing as Save The Dates.  Had I received an invitation, that for the first time included the acronym STD, I would be confused as well.  Truth be told, every time I see it, the non-wedding related translation often hits my brain first. 

Your cousin sounds confused as well.  STD's do not carry an RSVP with it.  STD's are informational only.

Yeah... it doesn't sound to me like she thought you were referencing sexually transmitted diseases. You used the term "STD e-vite", which is not a thing, and she rightfully said that would be a very confusing email to receive.

If I received a Save The Date that had an RSVP on it I'd be baffled, regardless of the timeframe.
If I received a formal invitation with the RSVP date a year away I would also be baffled, but I would not respond no. I'd probably forget to respond altogether by the time the date rolled around, so the host would need to call me with a reminder.
If I received a formal invitation for an event a year away with the RSVP date in a few weeks I would have to respond no.

I think that the RSVP deadline was a year before the wedding. How can you plan to say you'll be able to attend a party a year in advance? A lot can happen in a year.

These were actual evite invitations to the wedding, sent one year early, according to the OP.  This is wrong in so many ways!
