    Am I only the one who sent out invites? 

    We sent them last week and I am like a kid on Christmas each day when I go out to the mailbox. I love seeing our RSVPs in the mail. We set the RSVP date for August 15th. How much time did you give your guests to reply back?

     

    Here is a pic of our invites.

    I sent out my invites last week. I have gotten 3 back so far. Only 58 more to go! I gave them exactly a month to respond, which will be 1 month before the reception. I already know this is going to be like pulling teeth!

    Repost your pic, I can't see it :(

    I just sent out mine TODAY!    So much work.   We spent 3 weeks making them, everyday after work for almost 5 hours before we go to bed.   FI says next time we're just buying a stack from hallmark.   I looked at him and asked "what do you mean next time?"

    Hah.  I wanted to get mine out last week but that didn't happen.  The printer didn't get the font file loaded onto his computer so I picked them up and realized that everything was in times new roman.  Ugh.  I debated just going with it but then realized the map was wrong too and that one HAD to be redone because you couldn't read the street names.  So I got the actual invite redone too.  I'm really hoping it works this time and that I get them back on Monday.  Cross your fingers.  Our RSVP date is August 19th, 24 days before the wedding.

    Our wedding is Sept 12 also, and our RSVP date is Aug 1st.

    We have 25 of 79 responses back so far...not sure how I feel about these numbers!

    @budgetbeautiful - Thanks so much. I got inspiration from Mrs.Cupcake accordion fold programs

    @Miss.Poodle - I wish I had the skills to do this. They were done by Lauren Brown Invitation Studio

    Your invites are stunning! Love them! We are just putting the final touches on ours and they should be in the mail within the week. Our RSVP deadline is August 31 and we're getting married in November. We need the extra time to track down people who I know won't send the RSVP back.

    I am sending our invitations out the week around August 1st...that is 7-8 weeks before our wedding and giving people up until 2 weeks before the wedding to send in RSVPS.

    Cute invites!! LOVE them!!

    I sent my invites out June 24 for my Sept. 5 wedding. Our RSVP deadline is July 27th so we have extra time to track down the stragglers. I did however, send a reminder email to the stragglers about the upcoming deadline. This was a great idea as it moved people to put their response card in the mail.

    We mailed ours on July 7th for our September 5th wedding. Our RSVP date is also August 15th and I also LOVE going to the mailbox and seeing our little green envelopes in there. I'm actually quite bummed when there are none. :)

    It was worth being a little late to send my invites out... I was ho-hum about a possibility online for invites a few months back and about 1.5 months ago got a reference for an awesome graphic designer in town!  She was able to give me about 10 personalize designs and I loved it. 

    We put them in the mail yesterday!  Most of our guests are local, so we didn't see an issue with RSVP timing (8/20) or making plans.  We already sent out Save-The-Dates months ago. 

    Plus, I have to admit- I'm okay with some people missing the wedding due to Holiday weekend... we can use the budget from their seats for more wine or hoerderves!  :)

    Slowly trickling in. Our RSVP date is September 1st so I think it will be awhile before we get most of them.

    We sent ours out beginning of July and set the RSVP date for August 1st. We have a couple of stragglers still but for the most party everyone has responded.

    I really like your invitations.  I like the way they fold out. I saved them to my images as an idea.

    We also gave ours a month to respond. So far we are getting at least one RSVP a day. Not to bad. Makes me enjoy going to the mailbox!

    Thanks for the compliments on the invites. I really really love them.

     

    Our RSVP deadline is next week and we have some still outstanding. My fiance is really taking the whole RSVP thing seriously. He asks everyday about responses and I see that he is getting a little perturbed by the stragglers. But I guess that is par for the course

    They are gorgeous!!  I sent mine out week before last.  I was late according to my own time schedule...lol.  I was supposed to send them the week you did.  I gave everyone until the 15 of August to RSVP.  I have three back and know that I will have to call everyone else...wouldn't hurt so bad if I would not have included the stamp for the RSVP.
