What are Save the Date Cards?
All the excitement that comes when you find out you are getting married makes you want to tell the whole world, even if the actual wedding date is a year away. It is usually customary to send out formal wedding invitations six to eight weeks before the ceremony; sending them out before then can be a bit too early. On the other hand, you want everyone to be sure to not have other plans on your special day and need a way to let them know to save that day for your wedding. The solution to this dilemma comes in the form of save the date cards.
What are Save the Date Cards?
Quite simply, save the date cards are simple announcements you send to people you would like to attend your wedding several months in advance. They are usually postcards announcing your upcoming celebration that specifies the date it is to occur and request that people pencil this date into their schedules. Save the date cards can be as simple as a colorful postcard with block lettering, a cute design with a picture of you and your significant other, or as extravagant as magnets people can put on their refrigerator for a constant reminder until the formal invitations arrives.
Bear in mind, however, that save the date cards are an informal notification. If you are planning your wedding on a budget it’s probably best to stick with the simple options so that you can invest more into your actual invitations. Also remember that if you send a save the date card to someone you must also send them a formal invitation, so check and recheck your guest list before you put them in the mail. You can always invite someone extra that didn’t receive a save the date card; it is just about impossible, however to un-invite someone that has already been notified.
