Many guests will respond as soon as they get an invitation but to leave time for the procrastinators allow two to four weeks from the time you send out the invitation.
Time frame for wedding response cards.
Our caterer needs final s 2 weeks in advance so i am giving myself about 3 weeks so i have time to call if there s anyone who doesn t return their rsvp card.
Set the deadline to rsvp at 3 weeks before the big day.
May is far too early to be sending invitations.
Invites go out 6 8 weeks before the wedding so your mail date would be somewhere in the first half of july.
This will give guests ample time to make travel plans.
Six to eight weeks in advance is an acceptable amount of time to send out wedding invitations.
How much time do you allow for guests to return reception response cards.
So for august 28 rsvp date would be around august 7 give or take a week.
Rsvp date should be about 3ish weeks before the wedding depending on when you need numbers.
A few important things to remember while considering this data.
We recommend closer to 10 weeks if you re having more than a handful of out of town guests.
If invitations should go out six to eight weeks before the wedding what date should i put on the response cards.
For our july 25 wedding i m asking for the rsvps by june 26th.
Rsvps should be due two months before the wedding and the wedding invitations should be sent out approximately four months before the wedding.
Leaving a guest two to four weeks to respond should be plenty of time.
