Include your wedding website if you already have one. Your wedding invitations should include all the information about your wedding: Date and time. Location ceremony and reception.
Reception card if your reception is in a different location than the ceremony. Type of reception formal, informal, cocktail or dinner. Dress code. RSVP Include a stamp for returning the response or the link for the website if the response can be made online. Accommodation card for guests who are coming from other cities or destination weddings.
Include suggested hotel or accommodation and a deadline to book. Itinerary If your wedding goes for more than one day or includes multiple activities. From 6 to 8 weeks before the event. The etiquette Be creative but very clear the clearer the better. Including your registry in your invitations can be perceived as impolite. Address your invitations right. Not every guest needs to have a plus one.
You need to know who is coming, and so do your caterers and the venue. The last thing you want is for something to go awry. 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! Some guests on your list may live farther than most. You want to give them ample time to plan so they can make the trip in for your big day. Be consistent with how you notify people about your big day. Brides traditionally mail RSVP invitations through the post office. But these days, more and more brides are opting to send RSVPs by email. Guests should reply no less than 2 weeks before the reception.
However, RSVP reply dates greatly vary and depend on a few things…. You need to confirm the RSVP reply date with your venue coordinators and caterers. They need a final headcount by a certain date so they can plan everything accordingly. Your florist and cake decorator may also need a final headcount. Florists need an idea of how your floor plan will be set up. Whoever is preparing your desserts needs to make sure there is plenty to go around. You also want to give yourself enough time with the RSVP reply date.
If planning a destination wedding, invitees should get an RSVP card at least months in advance. If they're unsure, ask them to call or text you within 24 hours, explaining you have to give the caterer a final number. If they still don't contact you by the next day, count them out.
