My wedding is July 19, 2014 at the Tropicana. Our wedding coordinator said she needs the final head count of guests 6-8 weeks before the wedding. I was planning on sending out my invitations next month, is that too early? Also, I was going to put May 1 for the RSVP by date, so that it puts it before the date of the final head count. Next, should I put the wedding website on the invitation? I wasn't planning on it since it was on the save the date and we are in pretty close contact with all of the people we are inviting so if they need the discount code for the hotel or if they want additional information on our weekend events we can always remind them to check the website. I think it may look tacky if I can include it on the invitation, especially since it was on the save the date. Okay, last question: I wanted to put on the RSVP card "will attend" or "will celebrate from afar" after an idea I saw on Pinterest. However, my fiance worries that it will be confusing to our guests and that they will think the ceremony will be broadcasted live over the internet, which it will not be. Does that wording sound confusing? Maybe I should stick to "will attend" or "will not attend"

    Hey there! 

    We are getting married at The Tropicana on May 17, 2014. We are sending out our invites this week and have an RSVP date of March 15th. I was told we needed to finalize our guest count 30 days before the wedding, so I'd double check on that. Are you working with Leah?

    We are including a print out that has some other wedding details, like our welcome reception and day after breakfast our parents are hosting, along with our wedding website to remind them to check there for more details. If you already sent it out on your save the dates, then I think you're probably ok if you don't include it. 

    The wording on your RSVP makes sense to me, but I'm also knee deep in the wedding world. Maybe ask one of your guests how they interpret it?

    As far as timeline, I think that is perfect.  It will be helpful to have your headcount as you are working out your details with the Trop.  We are asking for our RSVPs about 2 months out and we have been using word of mouth to let me people know that our venue needs the count earlier than other places because it's Vegas.  

    For the RSVP, I'm on the same page as your FI.  

    If your guests already have the website from the STD, I don't see a need to include it again.  And like you said, if you are close with everyone and can remind them to check it, you should be fine.
    We had our dream wedding at Mirage on May 3, 2014!

    Your timeline seems okay to me.

    As far as the website, I'd hold off since you said you're close to your guest list and everyone already has it. If you do decide to include it, put it on an insert card instead of on the actual invitation. I'd probably skip it, though.

    I agree that "will celebrate from afar" would make me feel like you're broadcasting it over Skype or that the wedding chapel will have it uploaded. Some relatives/friends have wedding viewing parties back at home when people have DWs, so that can get even more confusing. If you think it will confuse your guests (that they might wonder if there's some kind of viewing party), stick with the usual responses.
