Not too sure when to send out AHR invites..

Marnie&Peter · January 4, 2009

We are getting married April 21st 2009 in Jamaica and coming back home from our honeymoon May 2nd..We are having our AHR May 30th...

I am not too sure when to send out invites for this...I would kind of like to know a rough estimate of who is coming before I go away on our wedding/honeymoon. Also I would like to have some time to be able to call people and ask them if they are planning on attending after not receiving the rsvp....I dont want to wait until May to do this!

When do you think I should send out in the invites and what should the rsvp date be?!

Thanks for your help ladies!

I would send them out about one month prior to leaving for Jamaica. That way you can try and have most of the rsvps back before you go and you will have less to do when you get back.

My sister is doing a 2 in 1 invitation- info for both the mexico wedding and the at home reception. she is then going to have two reply cards so that pple can let her know if they plan on attending 1, both or neither.

Our AHR is June 6th, our RSVP's are going out in the middle of Feb with a middle of April RSVP date. We are sending them out sort of early but summer is a busy time and I don't want people to book up the saturday with somethign else...plus people are really slow with RSVPing so we thought we'd give them a bit more time...and lastly my friends parents are cooking for us so they want to start buying the meat and stuff in early May
