The post below reminded me that I want your opinions on my RSVP date. I am having a destination wedding, so I planned on sending the invites 8 weeks beforehand. I had the RSVP date be a month before the wedding, but I will be moving to a different state AND dealing with wedding stuff and could do so much more with a semi accurate guest count sooner.
Also, the date our hotel block expires is 2 weeks before the RSVP deadline. To account for this, I have changed the RSVP date to 8 weeks before the wedding and will be sending out the invites 11 or 10 weeks in advance.
This is already done. Invites are printed and cannot be changed. I have a small number of invites that I had dated for a RSVP deadline of 1 month in case we get too many declines so I can still send out a few invites to people we want there, but can't until we get declines. I know that's bad etiquette, but at this point I don't care because everyone knows the list is mostly family and only a few friends will be invited.
I probably shouldnt ask for opinions on the date I have for the rsvps being too far out...but I am. Please be gentle.
