Hey all! Is it usually a month before the wedding that you should set the "Respond By" date on the  response cards?

    I think 2 weeks is generally more appropriate.  It depends when you need a final count to your caterer/venue.  Our caterer wanted 7 days notice, so we asked for the responses to be in 2 weeks early.  This gave us an extra week to contact anyone that didn't respond.

    Around 2 weeks before you need your final count for the venue or caterer.

    On nearly every invitation I've ever made for people, we've set the "please reply by" date as one month before the wedding - Caterers are the main people who would need to know an exact count.

    Our "reply by" date is one month before hand.  Generally 1-2 weeks before you need the final numbers to your caterer is a good idea in order to track down stragglers who didn't RSVP on time.
