If it were me, I'd figure a way to reprint. I'm persnickety like that. Where did you get them printed? Was the mistake your fault or was it the printer's fault?

Could you DIY the insert cards? You could buy A2 stock -- pre-cut -- from Office Depot or Staples (or just use an 8.5 x 11 cardstock and cut it yourself) and reprint on your computer with a matching font.

Do you have any other information you need your guests to know? I did inserts with directions, registry info, and hotel recommendations. I went to Office Depot, bought pretty white linen paper and printed my info on half sheets, sliced them with a paper cutter, folded them and put them inside the envelope. I did all my on WORD, so I put our "logo" as a watermark in the background.

If you need to do something like that, you could also print a correction on the insert. But really if someone is coming to your wedding, they should know when they get the invite that they will be coming. The RSVP date shouldn't matter much.

So the issue is that you put a 10/1 rsvp date for a mid-november wedding? That really isn't an oops. Our rsvp date was 10/8 for our 11/6 wedding, so you're only a few weeks ahead of that. Not a big deal, and nothing to reprint.

I'd just send them a week earlier than you planned initially.

What did you want the RSVP date to be? 11/1?

I wouldn't worry. Just give people a few extra weeks and call stragglers at the beginning of November.

I would include a correction insert with the invitations. People should not be asked to RSVP that early, it's not fair to them. And no, not everybody can be expected to know whether they can attend by the time they receive the invitation.

IMO, I think it's okay, but I guess it depends on your crowd. Most of the people I know are notorious for returning RSVPs late when it's 2 weeks in advance... they will still send it after the RSVP date if they need to.
