RSVP for Destination Wedding

This will depend on when your final count is due with your venue.

The final count is due 3 Friday's before the wedding. So about 2.5 weeks.

I sent save the dates in January and plan on sending out official invites by mid/end of April. Headcount for food and beverage is due 15 days before.

Th Knot suggests that regular invites go out 3 or so weeks and DW invites go out 3 months before. I could be wrong, this is the info I've been going off of though. (Planning a DW as well) I think it does make sense for invites (or at least save the dates) to go out pretty early since people have to take off work and sometimes use their vacation days.

So your final count is due 9/1?

If so, maybe RSVP 8/21 (gives you two weeks to call the stragglers), and send them the second week of July (9 weeks out).

Oh I didn't even answer the question *facepalm* thanks @Gym for coming to the rescue.

LOL it's ok ;-)

Im having a DW and Ive sent out my STDs already (Wedding date of 4/21/18). I'm planning on sending my invites 6mos in adv. My hotel block closes 45 days prior. My rsvp deadline is 60 days prior per my wedding planner.

Our dates are very close, here's my timeline:

Sending invites : first week of April or so

Rsvp: July 1

After reading a bunch and talking it over with people (my parents etc) we felt like this was a good way to go. We figured this would give people the specifics so when they are finalizing plans they can take it into account but most likely the people going have already booked something or just about to. Good luck!

This is something I have been trying to figure out as well. I live in Hawaii but for most of our guests it is a DW. Hawaii is expensive to travel to and it's cheaper to book flights earlier. I sent out my STD's this week. Not sure when to send out invitations either. So basically I am of no help but am following(:

What does the hotel say in regards to booking rooms? I would at least send out you invites 3 months in advance
