I would probably ask immediate family and really close friends today - get those numbers firm now and then work on the rest of your list.

Usually RSVP's are due the week before the party - so 7 days - if you need 10 days for List A and B to be done then A would need to reply days before the final head count is due.

So:

Group A - send out 4/6 with RSVP by 4/13

Group B - send out 4/13 with rsvp by 4/20

@regberadaisy: I would let family know you have limited space and to pls check their calendars now - they wont do that for you?

In my group of friends we are always giving out dates WAY in advance - once its on the calendar they cant make other plans

I think 1 week is plenty - either they can go or they cant - no reason they need weeks to decide

^ Yeah, I prefer paper invites but have noticed I get better responses when I use evites, especially since you can send out notices to those that haven't RSVPd in a not so bothersome way.

I would aim for about 7-10 days for RSVPs and friendly note that the facility requires a headcount. Maybe 4 weeks in advance for family and 3 weeks in advance for B-list?

I've never had luck with B-list things bc I always end up getting more than expected with the A's, and then feel weird inviting people last minute...
