I am sending out two sets of invitations. An "A" list and a "B" list. I want to make sure I have enough time to send the "B" invitations, without having the "A" RSVP date too far in advance. I was just curious what everyone else's RSVP by date was, regardless of whether or not you're doing 1, 2, or 3 mailings.

I'm thinking

Mail 6/14

RSVP 7/16 (is this too soon?!)

2nd mailing 7/21

2nd mailing RSVP 8/6

Sent: May 27th

RSVP Due: July 10th

Caterer count: July 31st

Cake count: July 24th

We do have a B-list, but we're hoping for ~64 guests and sent out 71 A-list. We'll see if we can even get to the B-list.

Mail: May 27th

RSVP due: July 14th

Caterer August 4th-7th

We do not have a B list and for the must part I know (at least on my side of the family and friends) who is coming as they (and i did too) live In USA and wedding is in Toronto (where i live now) so they gotten their tickets :) They are some last minute additions but that is a different story :)

@jenbrandner - yes I've made my own invitations, so the first set will have a different RSVP by date than the second set. Thanks girls for all the input, I decided to push it back a week, to July 24th. We'll probably send our second mailing the week of July 19th, depending on the RSVPs we get back right away.

We're mailing ours this week, and the RSVP is July 14th (for our 8/14 wedding). It's a destination to Nashville for most of our guests, so we figured they'd need to make travel arrangements in advance anyways.

@Gerbera - how relieved are you?! Mine are going out Saturday, still need to put the finishing touches on them, I CANNOT wait until Saturday when I mail them out into the world!

Invites are going out July 1st 

with the RSVP date of August 1st

for the wedding on August 28th.

.... It never occured to me to have a B list of guests! what if they find out they're on the b list?  I kind of like this idea, and I'd probably do it, but we're already planning to invite literally everyone we know to a post-wedding BYOB cookout, so all my B Listers will still get to celebrate with us.

Our invites went out on June 1 with a July 10 due date.  I know there will be those who don't get them in by them so I wanted to allot enough time to track them down!

I am a September 18th Bride but......

Out of country and out of state 1st Mailing going out June 18th and RSVP by July 18

Regular invites Going out July 18th RSVP by August 18th

I figure as the no's strickel in I can add guest to some single friends invites in the regular mailing pile.

Our went out last week and we received our first RSVP yesterday! The wedding is a destination for most (Nashville), so we wanted to give ample time to make reservations for flights/hotels. We've actually been surprised at how many people are going to make the trip!

Our wedding is August 20th and we have requested rsvp by August 5. Our caterer needs to have the final count on the 15th, so that gives us 10 days to hunt down any missing rsvps if need be.

The invitations went out a week ago and we have recieved some rsvps per email (for our evening guests) but just one per snail mail (our dayguests recieved postcard rsvps in their pocketfold invitations) which has been a little disappointing but I just keep telling myself they still have a month to reply.

Second mailing?  Am I missing something...?  Haha

I only sent out one mailing (?) and made the RSVP date July 31.

@hotdog: Most only do one mailing.  We have a few extra people that unfortunately because of space we could not include in our first mailing.  These people include parents friends/coworkers, old friends, things like that. So once space opens up, we are sending more, hopefully next week actually.
