I was going to do this too, but we are going to have around 50 guest and I am making OOT bags for each guest, plus bringing up my maracas and other favors for the wedding. Plus... I just ordered towels - yep, probably a huge box will be delivered. I'm thinking it might be too hectic to give these out to everyone... ughhhh I'm stressing over this. I think my only choice is to ship them... it will probably cost me a ton!

We didn't do save the dates, so we sent our invites out early - May - and asked for a response by August 31. I'm kind of glad we did that, because it will help to know the number of people going early so I can get the favours and welcome stuff ready, etc.

We sent out our invites in the beginning of July and asked that people RSVP by the ending of August. All of my guests were aware of our plans so I felt that STD's werent necessary for me.

We sent our invites out mid-July and have asked for rsvp's back by Sept. 15th. The hotel asked for final numbers 45 days out, so I figured that would give me enough time for the stragglers.

Are you ladies sending out separate Rehearsal Dinner invites if you are having one? If so, how far in advance are you sending those? I figured 2 months out will be enough time (we'll know by then who is coming, so it's more of a courtesy invite than anything else).

yeah I'm just sending rehearsal dinner postcards from vistaprint. we will send them out about 2 months ahead of time

[NaM]

I haven't even thought about rehearsal dinner so I probably won't be sending anything out. Maybe a welcome dinner for family and wedding party??

[Jess]

yeah i'm only doing a welcome dinner - no rehearsal dinner Natalia - sorry thats what I meant
