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.
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.
His name is Dermot Mulroney and the movie is called "The Wedding Date"
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.
If you are single it is assumed that you may bring a guest, unless the invitiation explicitly states otherwise.
Since the wedding is December 28th, 2010 the wedding invitations should be going out right away because Christmas is a very busy time and this gives guests a chance to arrange their schedules so they can attend the wedding.
* If you are getting married in the spring to summer months then you should get the wedding invitations out two to three months in advance to give your guests time to plan their vacations around your wedding.
Absolutely. You can't plan properly without knowing how many are coming. Be sure to add RSVP and specify if they may bring a " guest"[ date , not a starving artist friend ] .
Normally the name of the couple, the name of the parents, and the time and place of the wedding. There are many examples of this online as to how to word wedding invitations. Feel free to check on the sources listed below.
* 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.
