How long before your wedding have you asked for RSVPs to be returned by?

our venue needs to know confirmed numbers 6 weeks before the wedding. so I'm putting an R.S.V.P. date of one week before this so I can chase any up

I have asked for them back eight weeks before the date. The venue want confirmed numbers six weeks before the date.

We sent invites in January and asked to be completed by end of Feb, give yourself plenty of time to chase people who don't rsvp and also time to invite others if needs be xx

I got my invite beginning of February and was told by a family member that they had to be returned straight away! Wedding is middle of June!

We have a lot of guests travelling to south Wales from the midlands, many with young kids so we are sending ours out 6 months before our date to give them plenty of time to make arrangements for travel and accommodation etc. We are thinking of allowing 1 month to respond.

Our venue wants numbers 8 weeks before so we put it 4 weeks before that so we can chase etc..

We done ours for 3 months before just because of making of the table plan and place cards.

I must be bridezilla .. I've put end of April for Sept Wedding otherwise I cant do table plans.. favours .. children's boxes etc x

We got married in August and put the rsvp date for 4 months earlier, although the venue didn't need to know that early I wanted to give us time to do the seating plan, place names, favours etc

I've asked for 3 months because we have over 90 day guests and 170 evening! This gives me room to coordinate it all!

I get married end of September and I've given everyone until tomorrow to reply.

Ours 6 weeks before but aiming for 8 weeks to chase. We're only waiting on about 6 people now

We get married June 30th. Sent the day invites out start of Feb with rsvp end March and will send evening invites some point in March with rsvp end April x

Ours is 4 weeks, just be mindful that some people might not rsvp at all. I should have put longer tbh as we are going to end up chasing people we get married in 7 weeks. Although in my eyes if you don't rsvp I would assume they were not coming so wouldn't include them.

Mine is 3 months before. I've given them a month to reply. To be honest most have verbally already told me they will be there, it's more a formality than anything.

Our invites are nearly ready. We're getting married in 10 weeks! We are sending out our invites 8 weeks before and asking people to rsvps 4 weeks before. We need to let our venue know 2 weeks before final numbers and have buses organised so just incase we won't need as many xXx

3 months x

I'm sending mine beginning of next yr and giving them a 12wk deadline for rsvp, if not they rnt counted x

Venue needs to know 6 weeks b4. I have asked for rsvp 4 weeks b4 that date so I can chase without getting flustered x

3 months they have had them 3 months and they are due in tomorrow and I'm having to chase people! Does my head in!

Send our 9 months in advance and asking for RSVP 3 months in advance.. our wedding is in January so we are aware Christmas might get in the way.

3 months before

We only asked for them about 6 weeks before the wedding. Had to chase some but was pretty quick to do. All sorted now and table plan done and have 2 weeks to go!!! :)

We get married end of September, just sending the invites out now and have asked for RSVP by 8th May giving us plenty of time to chase up people before the hotel release any remaining rooms to non guests, hopefully we'll take all the rooms up with our guests .

I've just sent out our invites for December. RSVP date of 30th April. This gives me loads of time to chase but I want final numbers by the summer holidays. That will be when I do table plans etc. These will then be good to go and just need any last minute amendments in November. I figured if I gave people too long they would put it on the fridge/notice board and forget to respond (based on what I'm like). I would give yourself a few weeks to chase up (you never know what else will crop up at the same time) and time to do your table plan before you give final numbers. Good luck! Xx

Get married October. Just sent invites out (due to wedding being during half term!) and asked for rsvp for August 31st x

Ours were dictated to by when the venue needed final numbers in. So I would probably check with your venue. I chose a week before that date so I could chase up not returners!! X

I haven't got to this stage yet but I used to work in events. Look at when your venue needs your numbers by and do it for the month before to allow you plenty of time to chase people. For example, I think our venue needs final numbers two months before so I'm going to ask for rsvps 3 months before the wedding. It'll save stressing the week before you need final numbers if people have forgotten to respond. Definitely check with your venue.

3 months x

We get married 27/08/17 and have asked tacos to be back by 31/05/17 we've given them 8 weeks x

My venue wants about 2 months for food choices, I want them back before that so I can organise seating and if anyone declines I can ask an evening guest (dependant on numbers as I'm over anyway) which takes me to an RSVP date of Jan but now I worry about Xmas x

We messed up by asking for the RSVPs 8 weeks before as the venue needed numbers 6 weeks before. I'd do it earlier than that so you can do seating plans etc, if you like to be organised in advance. Guess it depends how long ago you sent them out to give people a reasonable amount of time to respond. Our RSVP date is coming up and I imagine I'll be chasing people which is a pain
