RSVP Date

The woman that sold me my invitations gave me a great piece of advice: set the RSVP date for your wedding (or any big event) at least six weeks before the big day. The simple truth is, many people don't bother to RSVP. Giving yourself this extra time means you won't have to rush to call those people to find out if they're attending or not, and you'll also have the option to invite extra people to make up for those that aren't coming.
