Why Send Save the Date Invitations? 

Wedding InvitationsIf you decide to send Save the Date Cards, it's recommended to do so shortly after setting your wedding date, especially if it's several months in the future or lands around a holiday. With everyone's busy schedules, it's a great idea to give them advance notice of your wedding date so they can be sure to attend.

Even if you don't send them to all your guests, you'll
want to send them to close family members and friends. Guests who need to make travel arrangements to attend will also appreciate receiving them, especially if you are having a destination wedding.

It's easy to be creative and have fun when choosing your Save the Dates since there are so many different varieties and designs available.

All designs are printed with your wedding date and names and some even give the option of including the wedding location. Blank white mailing envelopes are usually included in the price no matter which design you choose.

Be sure to list at the bottom of your Save the Date the phrase "invitation to follow" so guests know your wedding invitation will be coming at a future date. This is also why it's imperative that everyone who receives your Save the Date also receives your wedding invitation.
