What is a Save the Date and when should I send out Wedding Invitations?

Planning A Wedding Is A Big Responsibility

Planning a wedding is a big responsibility that requires attention to detail, creativity, and careful planning. One crucial aspect of wedding planning is sending out save the dates and invitations. These invitations set the tone for the whole event and are the first impression guests will have of your special day. In this guide, we provide a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know about wedding save the dates and invitations. Keep in mind, your Wedding Planner or Wedding Day Coordinator can assist you with getting these prepared and guide you through the process.

What is Save The Date?

A save the date is a notification that is sent to guests before the formal wedding invitations. It lets them know that they are invited to the wedding and to reserve the date in their calendar. Save the dates are usually sent out six to eight months before the wedding, giving guests enough time to plan accordingly and make travel arrangements.

What Information Should Be Included on The Save The Date?

A save the date should include only essential information. It should have the names of the couple, the date of the wedding, and the location of the wedding. It is also a good idea to mention that the formal invitation will follow. If you have a wedding website, you can include the website address on the save the date.

What Should A Save The Date Look Like?

Save the dates can come in various styles, from traditional to modern. They can be printed on cards, magnets, or even sent via email. The design of the save the date should match the overall style of the wedding. If you are having a formal wedding, an elegant and straightforward save the date would be appropriate. If you are having a beach wedding, a fun and whimsical save the date with beach-themed graphics would be fitting.

What Is A Wedding Invitation?

A wedding invitation is a formal request for guests to attend your wedding. It provides guests with all the necessary information about the wedding, including the date, time, location, and dress code. Wedding invitations are usually sent out six to eight weeks before the wedding, giving guests enough time to RSVP and make travel arrangements.

What Information Should Be Included In A Wedding Invitation?

The information included in a wedding invitation is more detailed than that of a save the date. It should include the names of the couple, the date, time, and location of the wedding ceremony and reception. It should also include the dress code, RSVP information, and any additional details, such as directions or accommodations.

Wed Should A Wedding Invitation Look Like?

Wedding invitations should be simple and elegant, reflecting the style of the wedding and the personality of the couple. The design of the invitation should match the save the date. If you had a fun and whimsical save the date, your wedding invitation should also be fun and whimsical. If you had a traditional save the date, your wedding invitation should be classic and timeless.
