My wedding coordinator told me he needs my head count two weeks before. That seemed "early" to me. Is this the norm? I was thinking 4-5 days would be sufficient.

My wedding coordinator told me he needs my head count two weeks before. That seemed "early" to me. Is this the norm? I was thinking 4-5 days would be sufficient. I was going to mail invites around July 10th and ask to have them back September 1st. Too soon to mail the invites? Too late? I figure I could make a list the few days after the deadline to call anyone who didn't respond. This has me perplexed. Thanks in advance!

ETA: spelling...

    My venue is requesting 2 weeks prior as well. They said i can go up after that but not down. And 72hrs is the absolute final head count with no changes being allowed

    Our venue needs the headcount 2-3 weeks before. We put our rsvp date as a month before so that we have a week to collect strays.

    That's normal. Mine only requires 10 days but anywhere from 10 days to 2 weeks is a normal time frame.
