Are Save the Date Wedding Invitations Important?

You’ve probably heard about Save the Dates since they have become quite popular with brides but you might not know exactly what purpose they serve.  Proper etiquette doesn’t dictate that these advance notices have to be sent but in today’s world it helps your guests in their planning so they can be sure to be with you sharing in the celebration of one of the most important days of your life.

People’s lives are getting increasingly busier and more tightly scheduled so that’s where Save the Date announcements come in handy.  With today’s hectic lifestyles, you want to be sure that family and friends keep your wedding date open when planning their calendars.  To ensure this, you can consider sending out Save the Date notices shortly after setting your wedding date, especially if it is several months in the future or lands around a holiday. 

If you are having a destination wedding or have guests who will have to travel to attend, they will appreciate the advanced notice for making their travel arrangements.

It’s easy to be creative when sending out your Save the Dates since there are so many different varieties and designs available.

·         Magnets have become a favorite selection and why not since your guests can easily stick them onto their refrigerator as their reminder.  Magnet styles can include those that feature your photo and some show the calendar month with your wedding date marked.

·         Calendar Sticker Cards are a fun, unique way of asking your guests to mark your wedding date on their schedule.  Your date will appear on the card and also on the attached seal which can be removed and affixed to their calendar on that specific date.  

·         Announcement Cards can be as creative or as simple as you like.  They come in varying designs, colors and themes from whimsical to more traditional.  Some of them even come in creative shapes such as admission tickets.

All Save the Date designs are printed with your wedding date and names; some even give the option of including the wedding location. Blank 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 added line “invitation to follow”, so guests won’t assume that this is the actual wedding invitation.  This is also why it’s imperative that everyone who receives your Save the Date will also receive your wedding invitation. 

Wedding invitations play an important role in planning your wedding, and in today’s society, Save the Dates are becoming increasingly popular because of your guests’ busy schedules.  You want to do everything you can to make sure family and friends will be able to share in the joy of your wedding day.
