Save the Date announcement tips

Save the date announcements before you send the wedding invitations. Announce your upcoming event with a Save the date announcements.

Is your wedding a destination wedding?
Are most of your guests from out of town?

Then save the date announcements are a great way for you to make sure that your guests plan for your wedding well in advance. Save the date announcements serve as a way to notify your guests of your upcoming wedding or party early enough for them to make accommodations for travel and notify them of date and location.

I find that most brides send save the date announcements to all their guests between 4 to 8 months in advance. But if you are on a budget you can save money by only sending your save the date announcements to your out of town guests.

From postcard to detailed booklet with all the important details you can order a beautiful save the date with even the smallest budget.

Save the dates come in different ways -

• Magnets
• Die cut shapes for beach, autumn leaves, fish, sandals
• Pictures of bride and groom
• Removable seal for the calendar
• Scratch off
• Combination of photo on a save the date
• Magnet with calendar showing the date

When ordering your save the date announcements don't forget to include

1. wedding date,
2. names (first and last),
3. location (city and state),
4. indication that formal invitation to follow,
5. personal website,
6. Hotel and airline info(because hotels can book up fast)
