If you are looking for information on all things save the dates, look no further.
First of all, if you are looking to send out save the dates, the first order of business
is a “Congratulations” on your engagement! We are here to help.
To start off, a save the date is an official announcement of your wedding date and
location that is sent to those you will invite to the wedding. Think of it as the
pre-invitation note! Keep in mind you should send these out around 8-12 months
before your wedding, the sooner the better, especially if travel is required.
What should you include in your save the date? Well, traditionally, besides your
names, you include the date and location (typically city and state) of your wedding.
If you are getting married in a church that is a different town than your venue you
will use the church town as your city and state.
You can also include any engagement photo(s) you have taken, as well as a line
that says “Invitation to follow.” If you have a wedding website, we strongly
encourage you to include the URL so guests can be informed of all wedding-
related information. There is no formal communication between the save the date
and invitation which is why it is important to add your wedding website.
I Do! can create the perfect save the date for you, and answer any questions you
have for us.
