RSVP Timeline FAQs

Expert advice on invitation etiquette and deadline planning.

How far in advance should I set my RSVP deadline?

For local events and weddings, the standard RSVP deadline is 3 to 4 weeks before the event date. This gives you enough time to finalize seating charts and submit headcounts to caterers.

When should I send Save the Dates vs Formal Invitations?

Send Save the Dates 6 to 8 months in advance (9 to 12 months for destination events). Formal invitations should be sent 8 to 10 weeks before the event.

What if guests miss the RSVP deadline?

Wait 2 to 3 days after the deadline, then send a polite text, email, or direct message with your InviteTools link asking for their confirmation.
