You should never go more than seven days without a pill or you will be at risk for pregnancy, so the answer is Day 7.

Missed a few pills period started early what now?
Get back on the pill and use a back up method until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days. If you were more than half way through the packet you were taking skip the inactive pills in the packet and go straight to the active pills in your next packet. If you were still in the first week just start taking the pills as if you had not missed any, but you will still need to use back up BC until you have taken 7 pills in 7 days.
Can you delay cycle by taking birth control pills?

If I am going on my honeymoon in July and will possibly be on that week Can I start taking birth control pills 2 Sundays after my period to change the date of my next period for next month?
What you should do (with the OK from your doctor) is to take your BCP the way you have been - but skip the inactive pills and go straight to the new packet. You will skip your period and have it when you finish the second packet.
Do you need to take the inactive tablets when taking the birth control pill?
Yes, you will need to take your inactive pills. There are no hormones in your inactive pills and missing them will not increase your risk of pregnancy. The purpose of inactive pills is to remind you to take the pill everyday and when to start the next packet.
Can you take your inactive pills before the active pills are finished in your pack?
I'm not sure why you would want to do this. But to be protected from pregnancy you need to take all the active pills as directed - then take the inactive pills or toss them out, the only purpose they serve is to remind you to take a pill everyday and when to start your next packet of active pills.
If you start your green pills early can you start your period earlier?

What happens if a girl forgets to take the birth control pill therefore has a early period?
This bleeding is called breakthrough bleeding, it is not a period - don't worry, just continue on with your pills as soon as you remember - if you are early in the cycle. if you are nearing the last week, you can toss the old pack and start your next packet. Be sure to use condoms as back-up until you have taken 7 active pills, over 7 days again.
What happens if you just take the green birth control pills?
Taking just the active pills is fine - the placebo pills have no active ingredients, they are only used to remind you to start your next pill packet. Check with your health care provider or pharmacist for advice specific to your particular pill if you don't know which pills are "active" and which are the placebos.
What do you do if you accidentally threw away your birth control pills a week early and is it ok to start your new pack this Sunday as you normally would or do you need to wait until your next cycle?
Start your new pack immediately. You can start the next pack the minute you realize the rest of your pill pack has been skipped. You probably won't get a period until the inert pills at the end of the next pack--that's normal. If you skip an entire month of pills, you will be left unprotected. If you start the next pack a week late, like your questions implies, use a backup method for a week.
I am going on holiday and due to be on my period can i take my pill to stop the bleed from coming?

Could i just stop taking pills for four days then start a new pack so that my period starts on Sundays instead of thursdays?
If you want to change your pill date, you should start the next pack early, but should not skip active pills. Instead, you should skip placebo pills.
