How much time do you give to RSVP?
How many weeks should you give people to RSVP? Assuming you’ve sent your invitations out in time (at least six to eight weeks before your wedding), then give your guests four or five weeks to RSVP.
When should you remind guests to RSVP?
This gives enough time for the invitations to get to your guests and for them to return their RSVP card within the requested timeline (usually by two months before the wedding date). If you’re a little ahead or behind this timeline, there’s no reason to worry.
What is the etiquette for RSVP?
RSVP invitations should go out no less than 6 weeks before the wedding. Ideally, they should go out 8 weeks before the reception. Invitees should have received Save-the-Date memos even earlier. If you previously compiled a guest list when you mailed out your Save-the-Date memos, great!
How do you limit guests on a wedding RSVP?

How soon should you send out wedding invitations?

How do you politely ask for wedding RSVP?
Use a polite but firm tone. Say something like, “I hope you received my wedding invitation a few weeks ago, because I haven’t heard whether or not you’ll be attending. I need to get a final head count by Friday, so please let me know by tomorrow at the latest.”
Do I RSVP if I not attending?
Do you RSVP if you’re not attending? Yes, always. If the host requests a response, it’s because they need to know how many people are coming. Responding to say you can’t make it is more helpful than no response at all.
Is 6 months too early to send wedding invites?
