1. Digital Save the Dates
Elevate your save-the-date game with digital options that offer a modern twist on tradition. Share the excitement with your guests via email or text for a hassle-free and eco-friendly approach.
No more worrying about snail mail getting lost or delayed! They formally announce your wedding date and keep your guests in the loop that they should mark their calendars accordingly.
Pro Tip: make sure to send out your save the date cards at least 6 months in advance to avoid any confusion or double invitations. This provides substantial planning time for guests busy juggling multiple events and tight schedules. The correct etiquette is to keep them concise, as they are announcements, and to send them only to the final guest list. Just like in a regular email, you want to catch the reader’s attention and avoid your email ending in the bin; so, guests might have a clue already in the email subject line, stating Save the Dates.
Digital Save the Dates should include:
- Heading stating Save The Date
- The couple’s names
- Type of event
- Wedding event date and times
- The wedding location (though the venue is optional)
- A reminder that formal invitations will follow.
It might or might have not included a wedding website with further information, as chances are you do not have a lot of details to give to your guests at this point in time, but you can definitely include this information in the formal invitations.
