Save the Date

What is it for?
Used to informally invite your guests to your wedding much further in advance than the invitation. This prevents guests from making vacation plans or other plans on your wedding date.

What does it include?
Names of bride and groom, wedding date, the wedding ceremony city and state, an “invitation to follow” statement to prevent confusion in elderly guests, and your wedding website if applicable. An Accommodations Card is frequently sent in conjunction with the Save the Date Card. View our wedding save the date wording suggestions.

Who needs it?
Anyone getting married on a holiday weekend, anyone with family/friends that must travel long distances to the wedding, anyone planning a destination wedding, and anyone getting married during a tourist season in a touristy location where hotels/flights might be booked far in advance.

When to send it?
Typically 4 to 6 months before your wedding date. May be sent up to 12 months in advance especially if planning a destination wedding to a location like Hawaii or Aruba.
