Sending out RSVP invitations is more than just sending an invite—it's an important step in ensuring your event runs smoothly. The timing and method of sending invitations are crucial to ensuring a high response rate and giving your guests enough time to respond.

First and foremost, you should send out your invitations well in advance. Ideally, invitations should be sent at least 4-6 weeks before the event. This gives guests plenty of time to check their schedules and respond. However, if you're hosting a large event or one that requires travel, consider sending the invitations even earlier to give your guests ample time to make arrangements.

When sending invitations, make sure they include all of the necessary details: date, time, location, dress code (if applicable), and any other information guests may need to know. Be clear about the deadline for RSVPs to avoid confusion.

To maximize the convenience for your guests, use a digital RSVP platform like Sonfie. With digital invitations, guests can quickly confirm their attendance with just a few clicks. You can also include additional options such as meal choices or other preferences, which make it easy to gather more information.

Lastly, don’t forget to follow up with guests who haven’t responded by the deadline. This polite reminder can help you get the last few RSVPs and ensure your planning stays on track. By using a platform like Sonfie, this task becomes much easier because automated reminders can be sent to guests who have yet to respond.
