About Save the Date Cards

Save The Date cards are an excellent and affordable way to inform or remind others of your upcoming special day. You may have many expected guests from out of town who need time to make travel arrangements, or you may have scheduled your event during the holiday season or during a time when others typically have a lot of social engagements. If you are having a weekend wedding or successive events, you will want to give your guests plenty of advance notice. Either way, Save The Date cards can help ensure that others are able to attend your event, or simply serve as a reminder for your more absent-minded guests!

Save The Date cards can be simple, listing only your names and the date and location of the event. However, your Save The Date cards could also include important messages about special aspects of your event that guests may need to prepare for. For example, indicating an adults-only event on your Save The Date card allows parents to make prior arrangements so that no one has to miss your special day.

When planning a destination wedding, Save The Date cards can offer necessary travel information. There is no standard form for Save The Date cards, they can be as elegant and formal, or whimsical and informal as you like! In addition, many companies will print Save-the-Date cards that coordinate with your custom invitations or theme.

So, if you are looking for an easy way to announce your special event, Save The Date cards are the way to go

The Washington Post is currently running "Wedding Week 2009". Anna Post, Emily Post's great-great-granddaughter wrote a column about Wedding Etiquette. Below are excerpts regarding invitation etiquette.

Boston, Mass.: Hello Ms. Post,

How early before the wedding is it customary to send out Save The Date cards? We will know our wedding date roughly 18 months beforehand -- will people appreciate the early head's up or is that weird? Thank you!
