A save the date card has become quite popular since your guests’ lives are becoming increasingly busier and more tightly scheduled. You want to make sure that your guests, especially family and close friends, keep your wedding date open when planning their schedules. To ensure this, consider sending them a Save the Date shortly after you have set your wedding date or at least 4 months before your wedding, especially if it coincides with a holiday.
If you decide to mail them, you are not required to send them to every one of your guests but you’ll probably want to at least include close family members and friends. Guests who will have to travel to be in attendance will find a save the date card especially helpful for giving them plenty of travel preparation time, especially if you are having a destination wedding.
It’s easy to have fun and be creative with wedding save the dates since there are so many styles and designs available including:
Save the Date Magnet
Has become a favorite choice and why not since your guests can easily display it on their refrigerator as a reminder. A save the date magnet might include a photo of you and your fiancé or it might be a calendar of your wedding month with your date being marked for easy reference.
Save the Date Card
There are varying designs, colors and themes from whimsical to more traditional when it comes to choosing your save the date card. Some of them even come in creative shapes.
All Save the Date designs are printed with your wedding date and first names with some even giving the option of including the wedding location along with a favorite photo. Be sure to list at the bottom the added line, “invitation to follow”, so guests won’t assume that this is the actual wedding invitation. This is also why it’s imperative that everyone who receives your wedding save the date also receives your wedding invitation.
