RSVP deadline?

I don't think so... my wedding is April 22 and I made RSVPs due by March31. A month before the wedding at the latest should be plenty I would think.

My rsvp deadline is June 23 and my wedding is July 15. Caterer requires final count 14 days before the wedding which is why ours is set to the 23rd to allow time to call and follow up if necessary with people not rsvp'd. 5-6 weeks in advance may be a little extensive, and there's so much that could change in someone's schedule in a month and a half.

Yikes, how did you get yourself in this mess??? How many people did you invite? Invitations really shouldn't go out until at least mid-April. RSVP deadline should be no earlier than one month prior to wedding, so June 5th, in your case.

They shouldn't be going out till Mid-April like Elizabeth said. You can't un invite someone that is rude. You don't plan on people declining, plan on everyone accepting. Make the dead line a month before event just uncase you have to make phone calls.

You need to be ready to host 100% of your guest. Instead of calling an uninviting people, I would find a different venue.

To answer a question, told 21 total I was *planning* to invite them when I was supposed to do 20 total. Anyway, thank you for the feedback!

Our ceremony date is June 30 and I did the rsvp date for June 9. And sending them out April 22.

Oh boy.

1) invitations go out 6-8 weeks before.

2) why would an earlier RSVP date help you?

3) the problem with sending invites early is that people forget to return the cards on time, if at all.

4) DO NOT uninvite anyone. That's the absolute height of rudeness. No. No. No. Thankfully you're just 1 person over the max.

We're sending out our invitations 10-12 weeks in advance. But we live in NYC, and many of our guests are Broadway type people who book gigs a long time in advance.

My wedding is July 30th and my RSVP is May 1st. We are getting married in the Outerbanks of North Carolina. It's peak vacation season, so if they respond too late, they won't have a place to stay. As soon as I booked the venue in November, I emailed everyone that was invited the details and accommodations. There aren't many hotels on the side we are getting married and the one hotel was fully booked by January 1st. So my RSVP is a little early, but it's a resort town. All of my guests will be traveling out of state.

@Lauren, are you booking the accomodations for your guests? You do realize that they can RSVP to you without showing a receipt for their hotel room.

All of our family is traveling from out of state as well. They're adults, they know they need to book their downtown hotels well in advance. Our RSVP date is 3 weeks before the wedding, which allows us time to call people so we can meet our venue final count due date of 2 weeks before.

@Lauren your rsvp date is way too early. if you can change it, I would. I am getting married 2 days before you and my rsvp date is two months after yours. mine is also a destination wedding for the majority of our guests....

Our RSVP date is about 5 weeks before our wedding, but FH and I both have work travel during those 5 weeks, and there's the 4th of July holiday as well where most people are going to be out of town.

Lauren, don't be rude to your guests. Your RSVP date should be on July 1st. It doesn't matter that it's a destination wedding or that it's tourist season or anything else. That's what save the dates are for. There really is no reason to have an RSVP date more than 4 weeks prior to the wedding for anyone.
