It worked out well, I got some nos right off the bat and was able to send out additional invites and those people still got theirs 1 month before the reply date. None of my guests thought it odd that I sent invites out so early or anything. But I had mostly out of town guests so I wanted them to have lots of time to get the hotel info etc.Sat, 21 Jun 2008 12:42:22 GMTCSLThttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic412631-2-1.aspxI would be inclined to send them out earlier and have an earlier RSVP date.Sat, 21 Jun 2008 07:33:43 GMTsarahandrob2010http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic412631-2-1.aspxI sent mine out early May, for my JUNE 20 reply date. So a month and a half...</P><P>I received a bunch of NO's right off the bat, but it was from people that had holidays or whatnot and knew in advance (summer wedding), I'd say about 10-15 no's in the first week or two.</P><P>If I were you, I'd send your invites out earlier, that way they all have the same reply date and no one will know about a B list. You can always claim the invites came back to you in the mail a week or two after you sent them.... </P><P>I JUST got another invite returned to me, wrong address, last week!!! over a month after they went out!Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:18:35 GMTbeaniebabyhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic412631-2-1.aspxWe are hoping to have 100 people tops at our wedding. Which does not leave room for many friends or parents friends to attend. I was hoping to send the first set of invites out and as we get NOs then we can send other out to friends.</P><P>What I need to know is how far in advance do I send the A list invites out? <BR>Do I make the RSVP date earlier for the A list ?<BR>When should the B list go out?Fri, 20 Jun 2008 19:35:50 GMTCelticGhal
