How far in advance did you ask for RSPV's back by?
I'm thinking either a month, or a month and a half. I'd like to do a month and a half, because I know we'll be anxious on our final count, but that could be pushing it...

ETA: We're kicking around April 7th-ish for our RSVP, so right around 6 weeks.
ETA - our final numbers weren't due back until 5 days before.
Now with more wedded bliss.
I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

[QUOTE] Our final payment is due to our venue on that day, but we are on the hook for a large minimum anyway, so that's what our payments are based on. Our final guest count is due 10 days prior.

What Trashy said except my RSVP date is Sept 19th. Final estimated payment is due Sept 14th. Wedding on Oct 14
Most of our guests have already booked their flights, so I already know a lot of the "yes" guests, there are only 12 guests on my side who are still "maybe" out about 53 who would have to fly. Ben only has 4 "maybe" that would need to book a flight.

I agree with PP. Ours was one month before. 5/11 RSVP due date. 6/11 wedding date.

[QUOTE]We sent invites at 6 months out and asked for RSVP at 2 months out. If I had it to do all again I would make it later. Maybr a month out instead of 2. It was a pain in the neck to get people to send them back and we had someone RSVP yes then decide not to go.

I have a question for you - do you think that's because the invites initially went out at 6 months, or that the RSVP itself was due at 2 months? Do you think that person would have RSVPed "accurately" if the invites went out at 3 months? Just curious :)

We had someone change their mind 48 hours prior and let me know via Facebook; so it could be worse.
The nice thing though is a friend of mine flies for Southwest and is based out of Vegas and he had declined previously because he thought he'd be out of town so I called him and asked if anything had changed; his schedule had so he took her spot lol.

[QUOTE]I wish I knew. I probably could have held off on invites, but my initial thought was to have plenty of notice for people to book travel plans. Especially since our wedding was in June and I figured prices would be high. But, that person could have just been a flake. I don't know the person well since it was a distant friend of H. But part of me wonders if I still should have held off on rsvp date. Guess I'll never know. ;)

I understand :) I think we're going to send the actual invites at about 3-4 months... who knows, I still have time. I haven't sent STDs yet! LOL.
(note that I sent an STD to every person I invited.) Those went out in February-6 months out.
Now with more wedded bliss.

Did you send out STDs? If so, when did you send those?
[QUOTE]Our was about 2.5 weeks I didn't over invite so I wasn't really to worried about not having enough room and<strong> the resturant didn't need my final number till that week.</strong>

That's great! And the norm I thought... which is why I am surprised our venue needs it almost 5 weeks in advance.
[QUOTE]Thanks for all the responses, we're going to make the deadline 5 weeks out.

I know, too quick I feel like! lol. I got a lot of stuff done early but now I feel like I have so much to do still in the next few months. Going to get the paper for the invites tomorrow so my mom can print them etc., so that'll be one thing to check off the list at least!
