I am not sure when I am going to sent my formal invites. I am including an RSVP though. Not too many people in my family would RSVP online. I have already sent out my STD's just to get people thinking about it.

So to start this thread up again LOL :)

So I'll have guest RSVP on website (hopefully they do it) and when sending STD's I'll write a note reminding them to RSVP on website.....

IF they don't do this, I'll send them actual RSVP cards with formal invitations .....Is this righthuh.gif?

 

Sorry just want to make sure :)

 

I also am almost finished with personnal wedding website :) I copied (borrowed) a lot and I hope you don't mind....if you do please let me know.

Thanks.

I sent my STDs out about 6 months ahead of the wedding. Only my immediate family got their hotel and air tickets. I sent the formal Invites 3 months out, but the hotel is now full and my guests that have waited now are staying at the sister hotel (that is a whole story in itself!).

 

With the STD magnets, I sent two pages of information about the hotel and everything on pretty stationary so guests could plan ahead.

 

I just think that those who procrastonate, will do so no matter how early you send out your invitations.

We sent our STDs 8 months ahead and sent our invitations about 3 months out with traditional rsvp cards. Even with the traditional rsvps, we only had about a 75% response rate. I can imagine that had we gone the website rsvp route our rsvp rate would have been much, much lower.

I'm planning on sending out my STDs in a month or two, so that will be about 9 months in advance. I am enclosing a card with instructions for how to RSVP on the site... though I'm not hopeful!

 

I'll see how that goes - probably hassle people a bit more later... and then when I send out the formal invites 3 months or so in advance, will decide at the time whether I want to include an RSVP card...

i think I'll be doing the same....sending STD magnet with website info and letter stating how to get on website with directions on RSVP'ing. if they don't RSVP on website, when i do send formal invites i will include RSVP cards to those who haven't done it on website.

sorry to hijack this, but I didn't want to start a new thread

so I talked to one of my BM's last night and she got married two years ago and she said it was completely wrong to ask people to RSVP 2 1/2 months early-I don't want to buy two cent stamps mainly because they are ugly and they will look funny with my cute photostamps. what to do?

i don't think there are any rules to be followed. my RSVP date is only 1 month (just a little over), but that's because that's when i need to give my final head count 30 days in advance. i think you can do whenever you want - most people will know if they're planning on making the trip by then.

we sent out the STD about 8 months before our wedding and the formal invites with RSVPs about 3 months before... we gave everybody the option to either send in the RSVP or to do it on our website... i'd say only 5 people RSVP'd on the website and out of the 75 invites, we probably only recieved 30% of the RSVP cards back... we had 60 people at our wedding so there were a lot of phone calls made...

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
