Pinned down a date for your wedding? Make sure to get a spot on all your loved ones’ calendars by sending a save the date card months in advance. If you’re planning a destination wedding, consider sending it out earlier to give your guests enough time to plan. But don’t just give out any card. Create a design that hints at all the excitement to come. Do it yourself with Canva, and customize any of our save the date card templates without a hitch. Save the date cards have been around since the mid 2000’s and have really gained popularity over the last 10 years or so. A great idea, I’m sure you’ll agree. But you have questions, I know. Do we REALLY need them? Can’t we just send our invitations earlier? Do they go to all guests or just the evening ones? What are save the date cards I hear you ask? Simply put, they announce your wedding date to your intended guests and ask them to keep the date free. They are a nice way to say – pencil us in, don’t book anything else on this day because we’re getting married, more details coming. Probably the biggest and most important question, not least when the budget is tight. The simple answer is no, they are not essential. Yes, I know, I make wedding stationery, I should be encouraging you to buy! Hear me out. While it's not a requirement, having your Save the Date Cards match your wedding theme can help set the tone for your event. Dotty About Paper offers a wide range of designs to suit various wedding themes.

Sooner rather than later! Some couples even send their save-the-dates out two years in advance. Your guests need sufficient notice to make arrangements — from pets to childcare. At a bare minimum, send out save-the-date cards at least six to eight months before your wedding. If you can send the cards out even a year or more in advance, this is ideal so that people can book their holidays and other plans around your wedding — not at the same time. When should I send out my wedding invitations? Absolutely! On Dotty About Paper, you can customise your Save the Date Cards to reflect your personal style and wedding theme. Our user-friendly platform allows you to alter colours, fonts, and even upload your own images or design elements.

Keep it simple. Include your name and your partner’s and the date your wedding is set to be. If you can also add an approximate location, this will help guests plan ahead. It’s a good idea to add a line like “formal invitation to follow” so guests won’t start querying you for missing information. If your guests have little ones, it’s incredibly helpful for them to know whether their children are allowed to come. Your save-the-date cards are the basics; any details you’ve forgotten or haven’t been finalised yet can be sent out in your wedding invitation later. Generally, no, you don’t need to send a save the date to your evening guests. The chances are that your guest list for the after party will be a lot more undecided anyway, and so the previous point applies. That said, I have made ‘save the evening’ cards for couples before, so it can be done. I would simply advise, if you decide to do this, that you make it very obvious it is a pre-invite to the evening reception only. You don’t want any guests confused as to which part of the celebration they are invited to! 7. Do you put RSVP on wedding save the date cards? Yes, all our prices for Save the Date Cards on Dotty About Paper include envelopes. We want to ensure you have everything you need to prepare for your big day.Sending save-the-dates is a great way to spread the word about your wedding to anyone who hasn’t heard yet. But the main reason is to make sure as many of your loved ones as possible can make it. Imagine having gone through the trouble of extensive wedding planning to find that the majority of your guests can’t make it because they’re on holiday or working! Give your family and friends an opportunity to organise themselves. If they’re coming from abroad, for instance, they’ll want to book flights well in advance. Be accommodating and don’t wait until the last minute. When should I send my save-the-date invitations? Once you’ve shared your news, all your loved ones will be wondering when to pencil the date in their calendar. Let everyone know in advance that you’re planning your wedding, so all your guests have the chance to book time off, hotels or even flights if they’re further afield. Sending them well in advance (up to 2 years) allows your friends and family to prepare, arrange time off work and most importantly not to double book themselves. They can give a little glimpse of the celebration to come without needing to to include all the finer details. Well, you’re in the right place, I have all the answers. Read on. 1.
