Start with what guests need to arrange
A wedding involving travel, accommodation or time off needs more notice than a local celebration. Once the date and city are confirmed, let guests know so they can plan; share the complete invitation when the essential details are ready.
Work backward from the final headcount
Ask the venue and catering team when they need final numbers. Set an RSVP deadline earlier, leaving time to contact guests who have not replied. That specific deadline is more useful than applying one universal timetable to every wedding.
Review before sending
Check the date, times, addresses and map links. Prepare your guest households and read the invitation on a phone. In Invitesse, publish from the editor before sharing the links in your couple’s dashboard.
After sending
Review the dashboard to see who has not replied. Send personal reminders near the deadline rather than asking confirmed guests to respond again. If practical details change, publish the saved update and notify the affected households.
