RSVP Timeframe????


Recommended Posts

Is it okay to send the invites a month and a half after save the dates? I'm in school and I have been so preoccupied with it that time seems to be running out for me, and that seems like my best option. :(

yeah go for it.

I know that although family received their Save the Dates in the mail early, within the next month a lot of people were asking us more information on where, when, how they can book and costs. So they would probably appreciate it.

It is really important to have your RSVP's in as soon as possible. My resorts require final payment 30-45 days in advance and at this point you would have to have all your wedding details finalized. We also run into the problem when there are a lot of last minute additions, and we have to change the venue location because of capacities. 2 months is the longest I would suggest leaving an RSVP to come in. Plus, rates will become more expensive and you want to ensure that your room block is filled before the deposit/final payment deadlines!

 

Happy planning!!

Oh man the RSVP dates are driving me nuts, Do you think that 5 months is too early to have people RSVP by? Like someone mentioned before, I want to have the details to finalize and pay the resort- plus I'm in school right now and will have a really big board exam to take in January, my wedding is in February, so I won't be able to do as much planning late in the game.

I've had the exact same problem! It is so rude!! At this point, if I haven't heard from them, I'm counting them as a no.

I think 5 months is a little too long. I have an RSVP date of march 31 and my wedding is June 24. We still have guests choosing this week. It's certainly cheaper to book earlier but due to various reasons we've had a few that couldt book til now. I still have quite a few tht haven't rsvpd and I agree it's rude. However, I'm just assuming if they haven't rsvpd or booked they aren't gong.

I'm sending out my invitations next month for an RSVP for MAY 18. My wedding is August, but the deadline for all money due is June 17. From reading the thread, I didn't expect I was going to have to chase people down but I guess I'm going to have to (it is rude!). When are you guys considering people they aren't going if you haven't heard from them or haven't booked? I have some people on the fence about going and March is almost over.

    • 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!
