RSVP date?

I am purchasing my RSVP's off ETSY. If my wedding is on November 5, when should I ask my guests to please RSVP by? Thanks in advance!

    It depends. I would ask your caterer when final numbers are due. Then, id say have your RSVP Date 1-2 weeks before numbers Are due.

    Depends on when your catering numbers are due and how much time you think you'll need to track down missing RSVPs.

    I'm setting mine 3 weeks prior because we need numbers to our caterer two weeks before and I thunk the additional week will help get anyone who hasn't rsvpd

    Double check with other vendors too. My florist needs numbers before my caterer does.

    One month before the actual event! Final numbers need to in two weeks before the wedding so give yourself two weeks to call or contact the people who haven't replied

    I would check with your vendors as to when they need to know about numbers and go back about a week or two from that so you can track anyone down that didn't rsvp by that date

    I would suggest three weeks before the day of the wedding. Gives you plenty of time to call those who did not RSVP.

    3-4 weeks! People are always late and this will give you plenty of time to track down stragglers without stressing too close to wedding!

    Agree with 3 to 4 weeks. You need time to track down stragglers. If you need to make a seating chart, you'll need a little time to tackle that, too.

    I would ask your vendors. I know our caterer needs our numbers about 2 weeks before our wedding.

    We did ours like this

    Send invitations out week of June 26

    RSVP July 25
