Product Information

Sending save-the-dates is a great way to spread the word about your wedding to anyone who hasn’t heard yet. But the main reason is to make sure as many of your loved ones as possible can make it. Imagine having gone through the trouble of extensive wedding planning to find that the majority of your guests can’t make it because they’re on holiday or working! Give your family and friends an opportunity to organise themselves. If they’re coming from abroad, for instance, they’ll want to book flights well in advance. Be accommodating and don’t wait until the last minute. When should I send my save-the-date invitations? Send out your save-the-dates first, followed by your formal wedding invitations at a later date. We recommend sending out your wedding invitations 4-9 months before your big day as a reminder to your guests after you’ve sent out your save-the-date cards. What details do I need to include on my save-the-dates? Sooner rather than later! Some couples even send their save-the-dates out two years in advance. Your guests need sufficient notice to make arrangements — from pets to childcare. At a bare minimum, send out save-the-date cards at least six to eight months before your wedding. If you can send the cards out even a year or more in advance, this is ideal so that people can book their holidays and other plans around your wedding — not at the same time. When should I send out my wedding invitations? What are save the date cards I hear you ask? Simply put, they announce your wedding date to your intended guests and ask them to keep the date free. They are a nice way to say – pencil us in, don’t book anything else on this day because we’re getting married, more details coming.

Save-the-date cards have increased in popularity in the last decade or so. You could be unfamiliar with what they are, how they work, or why you might need them. We’ve compiled some frequently asked questions to help guide you through the save-the-date process. What are save-the-date cards? I’ve already mentioned that, at the time of sending save the date cards, you may not have finalised your guest list. So how do you know who to send them to? Here’s my advice: Send your wedding save the dates only to those guests on your ‘A list’. Those friends and family that you 100% want to be there on your big day. The guests on the ‘definitely maybe’ list? I wouldn’t send a save the date to them. In my opinion there would be nothing worse, as a guest, than receiving a save the date card for a wedding which you don’t then receive an invitation to. Generally, no, you don’t need to send a save the date to your evening guests. The chances are that your guest list for the after party will be a lot more undecided anyway, and so the previous point applies. That said, I have made ‘save the evening’ cards for couples before, so it can be done. I would simply advise, if you decide to do this, that you make it very obvious it is a pre-invite to the evening reception only. You don’t want any guests confused as to which part of the celebration they are invited to! 7. Do you put RSVP on wedding save the date cards?
