When to Send Out Save the Date Cards
Paperia | March 2014
If you’re gettin’ hitched, when should you send the Save-the-Date cards to your guests?
Save-the-Date cards are typically sent about six months before the wedding; however, if you are having a destination wedding or if several guests will need to travel to your wedding location, send your Save-the-Dates as early as possible.
Why do you need Save-the-Date cards for your wedding?
While some people perceive them to be another unnecessary wedding expenditure, there are actually many benefits to doing so!
Save-the-Date cards will . . .
-
Force you to finalize your guest list and compile addresses – this will save you loads of time when you’re ready to tackle the invitations
-
Prompt you to start thinking seriously about your wedding style, colors, and design
-
Help to ensure that your family and friends do not schedule any avoidable conflicts on your wedding date – more guests = more fun!
-
