December calendars are a battlefield — the holiday invitation that goes out early, states the date twice-checked, and reminds automatically is the party people actually attend.

Wording & etiquette
Good to know
Before Thanksgiving if you can — December fills fast. Send in mid-November with an RSVP date around December 1, and let the automatic reminders handle stragglers.
The RSVP asks party size and plus-one names, so your headcount is real. You'll see every guest and their +1 on the dashboard.
