Curious: why would a couple have an RSVP deadline 2.5 months before the wedding? Got an invite in the mail last week for an April wedding, RSVP deadline is 2/1 which seems really early. Not a “destination” wedding but some guests have to travel

I had an earlier rsvp because people were coming from far away and I knew a lot of my family members would need follow up…ended up needing the extra time 🙃

Most people know immediately whether they will go or not. A quick timeline means they are more likely to just do it immediately. That teanslates to the couple not have to follow up with people. So much has to be committed to 4 to 6 weeks out that is guest count specific, they don't need everyone waiting to the last minute to take the time to RSVP.

They might have a B List if the venue is smaller

I had a B list that I invited people off of for every no we got from A list. Most of our guests were out of town, so they knew early whether they were coming since they would have had to make arrangements/take time off of work.

it depends on their vendors and venue mostly! some caterers need more notice than others, or things like table / chair rentals etc. they may have a lot of custom stationery being made for the day so their stationer needs those names to design the escort wall/menus/placecards/etc.

or it could just be bigger time so when people don’t answer in time it gives them a week or two to chase people down for an answer

Is it worth it to drive to Michigan to get it taken care of there?

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!
