I always get asked about sending out Save the Date Cards.... so here's a few basic hints!
~Who should send them?
Every couple marrying on a holiday weekend or having a destination wedding should have them. For others, they aren't mandatory, but can be alot of fun.
~What's the point?
The point is to give your guests time to plan their trip and schedule accordingly.
~When should you send them?
Mail them out atleast six months ahead, but never more than one year. Be careful of sending them around the holidays too since they may get lost in the Christmas card shuffle. Oh, and obviously everyone who gets a save the date should also get an invitation.
~What info should be included?
Every save the date should include the bride & grooms name, date, city where the ceremony is taking place, "invitation to follow" and your website address for more information (Yes, a website is mandatory for EVERY destination bride and groom!)
There are so many great options out now for Save the Date cards so shop around and find one that suits your budget and most importantly reflects the style of your wedding & your personality!
