 What Does "Save-the-Date" Mean? And How Can It Help My Guests? What is "Save the Date" & Why should I?  "Save the Date" is a simple card that is sent out prior to sending your official Wedding invitations. It literally tells your guests to hold a particular date open on their calendar so they don't schedule anything else in the meantime. It is a great way to let people know when you are planning your wedding so they too can plan ahead. The importance of save-the-dates for destination weddings or weddings several hours from your area is obvious. Guests from out of state will have to travel to your wedding whether it be in an adjoining state or somewhere further away. Keep this in mind. Your guests will require more time out of their schedule (and more money out of their budgets) than if the wedding were close by. Your guests will need extra time to plan. How do Save the Date Cards work? It is recommended that your cards go out six months to a year before the your wedding day especially if you are planning an exotic/tropical or far away location that will require fights and hotel bookings. Will give you guests plenty of time to budget and plan their itineraries.  Why Save the Date Cards are Perfect for Destination Weddings For destination Weddings, save-the-date cards can really help build excitement for guests planning to attend. In addition to the date and place, I give to the opportunity to include information about hotels, travel agent contacts, special room rates, sightseeing and local activities. Here is a very important thing to remember: People often ask ask whether they really must follow through and actually send everyone an invitation who received a save-the-date card in advance. The answer is "YES". Especially in cases where you are asking guests to commit extra time and expense that they otherwise might not. So if you tell someone to save the date, then you really do have to invite them. |
