How to choose your RSVP date:
If you’re asking for a physical card to be posted back - you might have a few people that will post on that RSVP date. You may be waiting up to an additional two weeks for the cards to come by mail.
For those who might miss the cut off date, how long will it take you to get in touch with these people for a response. Does your venue have a minimum spend? If so, you may need to create a back up invitation list. If don’t find out until after the cutoff time that some of your original invited guests won’t make it and now you need your back up list. Is that enough notice for your secondary guests? Try to aim for an RSVP date no later than 6 weeks before the wedding. That way you can spend 2 two weeks on follow ups and you have ample time to get your menu, place card counts in order as well as seating chart.
