Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (/ËroÊzÉvÉlt/ ROH-zÉ-velt; October 27, 1858 â January 6, 1919) was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909.
For others, it may be the date that the caterer needs final numbers. You then want the RSVP date to be a week or two before that drop dead date. Send out the invitations 8-9 weeks before the wedding date with the RSVP date 2-3 weeks prior. 2d Bride is absolutely correct. You have to have the final numbers for the catering the week before. Ours is 1 week before the final count is due (which is 3 weeks before the wedding). I sent them out the beginning of June so they have about 7 weeks to reply.
My recommendation would be to give your self 2-3 weeks BEFORE your final count is due at your venue. So if you have to have your final count in 2 weeks prior to your wedding that would be 05/8/11. Three weeks prior to that is the 04/17/11. Your FHs estimate of 04/15 is about what I would do.
