How far ahead should save the dates go out for a DW wedding and how far ahead for the invite itself. I'd like to know well in advance the count of who's coming. Also for DW weddings a lot of people just do an online RSVP do people think this is easier?

    Invitations go out 6-8 weeks ahead of the wedding.  STDs can go out at around 9 months out.  For a DW, you don't change the timeline, but you do include travel information with the STDs.

    Your RSVP timeline is the same, a week or so ahead of when your venue needs the final headcount.  It's rude to ask guests to commit more than a month in advance.

    Online RSVP conveys that the event is less formal, and leads some to draw the conclusion that the RSVP is not as set in stone as it would be with a written RSVP.  Unless you're doing a BBQ style event where you don't need a firm headcount, you should go with written.

    Just to reiterate MyNameIsNot... you really can't control the bolded. The RSVP deadline is no different for a DW than any other wedding, and you can't request an RSVP to a Save the Date. Some people may tell you informally that they won't be able to make it but then their circumstances change and they can, or vice versa. Just know that this is an OK thing to let go of - nobody knows exactly how many people will be at their wedding until pretty close to the date (sometimes not at all), and it will all work out fine.
