I am surprised you ladies have the rsvp date so close to the wedding. Mine is next year April, and i am trying to get my guests to pre-rsvp by next months, 9 months before wedding. then a final rsvp by Nov or dec when i actually mail the card out. first, i want to know how many people for reception/ catamarian cruise purposes ( i need to choose either depend on how many guests), then, I am scared if they don't reserve now, the price will go up especially for both flights and hotel, I don't want my guests to pay more than they have to. Third, after the guests reserves, I can finally get ready and prepare the DIY boarding pass mail invitation. But, true, I know some guests can't make the decision until a lot closer to the wedding date, i understand that. But i wish the majority of people would respond.
