  • It is only etiquette that when you have been given the honor of attending a wedding and for some reason you can't make it then you should send the RSVP back as soon as possible and that you are sorry you are unable to attend. Two weeks before the wedding (if you live out of town) then send the wedding gift to the bride's parent's home and addressed to the bride and groom as Mr. & Mrs. John Doe (example.)

What is the proper Response to wedding invitation?

Usually with a wedding invitation the bride and groom will also send out an attached RSVP card and envelope where you elect 'attending' or 'regrets'. Your answer is usually required at least 4 weeks prior to the wedding date. Some couples may attach a contact number or email as a way to get in touch but we recommend a phone call or RSVP card sent in the mail as a formal way to confirm your attendance.


What is the difference between RSVP and save the date?

An RSVP card is part of the formal invitation to the wedding, and is sent out within 6 months of the wedding A Save-The-Date card is typically used for long engagements where the bride and groom have set a far out date. The card is sent, with no RSVP attached, to let guests know when the date is. This can be sent out 6 months +. Typically they are magnenets so couples can put them on the fridge to remind them in months to come.

How much time is an RSVP needed before the date of the wedding?

I would suggest you RSVP as soon as you receive the invitation - if you are sure if you are attending or not. This way you won't forget to return the RSVP card. Otherwise, note the date that this card is due back (it is written inside the card when they need to have your answer) and mark it in your blackberry or on a calendar so you don't forget to send it back.

How far in advance do you send out wedding reception invites if you are eloping to get married we want to have a party when we return. Is 3 weeks notice to RSVP not enough time?

* Six weeks is more appropriate if you are getting married in the summer as people go away on holidays and your dates may clash. If you only have three weeks then you will have to do the best you can. Be sure to put an small card inside your invitation that will say something like Mr. _____Mrs._____Ms. & Guest ____ will attend ___ or will not be attending ____, so that you will know if they are coming or not. Also include 'RSVP' by the date you want them to answer. Example: You are getting married on July 1st, 2009, then put 'RSVP June 10th, 2009.
