    Hey. My wedding is September 2nd. I mailed mine out on June 21st with an RSVP date of July 26th. Figured I would give people at least 5 weeks to respond. Plus I only sent my save the dates out 2 months or so before I mailed out the invites so it should be fresh on everyone's mind. That would give me some time to iron out the seating charts and have everything ready for the venue 2 weeks prior to the wedding as instructed. Leave yourself some time after your RSVP date to hunt down the late people. That'll probably take a week.

    General rule of thumb is 1 month prior to the wedding date for the RSVP.. We sent ours out with 2 months to respond.

    My wedding is July 30th.  I sent my invites out May 16th and had a RSVP date of June 30th.  My RSVP date is today and I still have 20+ people to track down.  Definitely give yourself plenty of time to hear back from people.

    We are getting married on September 9, our RSVP date is August 10 and we are HOPEFULLY sending out the invites by July 10.  Fingers crossed!  Had hoped to do it this week but they aren't in yet.

    I did a July 13 rsvp date for our August 13 wedding. Mailed them out very early (April 30) since we planned the wedding quickly (got engaged Feb 20, 2011, booked everything late March) and did not do save-the-dates.

    So for you, you should mail them mid-end July, rsvp date end of Aug/ early Sept.

    We did exactly 4 weeks before, June 17th for our July 15th wedding.
    We mailed our invitations out on May 9th.
