Re: invitation help needed

  • I am getting married 3/31 and just ordered invitations with a 3/2 RSVP date so we have plenty of time to do the seating chart and favors and stuff.  We are mailing them the end of January (probably around the 26th),
  • You should check with your venue to see when they will need their final count.  It differs for each place. You can just count backwards from their timeframes.  For example, my venue needs an estimated head count 2 weeks before the wedding, then a final head count 1 week before.  So I estimated anytime I would need to track down non-responsive rsvp'ers (about a week).  Then put that as my rsvp by date.  Hope that helps!
  • I'm March 24 as well. I'm planning on mailing them January 23/24, and the RSVP date is February 24. It's so close!!!

    We had our RSVP cards printed with a 2/24 RSVP deadline

    That is the EXACT same timing as us.

    Mailing them around the 3rd week in January.
    March 2nd is the RSVP date.
    March 31st is the wedding.


    ETA: SHOOT, I thought a reply was the original post. Stupid Knot!
