Get your guests to save your wedding date in style!
Our beautiful design collections have a Save the Date card for every style and taste, as well as the option to go for a digital or email-only Save the Date instead of a printed card. Traditionally, save the date cards are sent out a year in advance, especially if you have time up your sleeves, but you can send them earlier or later than that. Here's a few reasons why Save the Date cards are always a good idea.
Saving the date means your wedding is the priority!
By giving your guests a heads-up about your upcoming wedding day, you're making sure that there's not going to be any accidental double-bookings or crossovers - guests will be able to make sure that they've got that day free to celebrate with you. At the end of the day, who doesn't want to celebrate the wedding of two people they love dearly? Nobody, that's who.
A save the date gives you and your guests more time to plan.
This is especially important if you're having a destination wedding or if you have guests that need to travel from interstate or overseas; by sending through a Save the Date your guests can start planning and booking their travel, accommodation, and time off from work to be there to celebrate with you. The more advanced notice they have, the more time they'll be able to spend with you before, during, and after your big day as they'll be properly prepared; and with guests who have a tight day-to-day budget, the extra notice is great for planning and saving their cash so they can be with you at your wedding.
Regardless of whether you're having a destination or domestic wedding, or if your guests are local or global, a Save the Date is always a great thing to invest in, even if it only makes your guest's lives easier to party with you. They'll appreciate the extra time to make arrangements, and it'll make your life a lot easier as guests who truly can't make it will let you know in advance, so you'll have a better idea of numbers well before you plan and order your wedding invitations and on the day stationery.
Save the Dates can be sent out if you have a rough location but no set times yet!
If you've decided on the date but still need to work out your wedding day timeline or finalise that wedding venue contract, a Save the Date is fantastic. You don't need to include more than a general location (say, Perth, Western Australia, for instance) as all the finer details like ceremony start times, venue names and addresses, reception times, or dress codes are only needed for your wedding invitations.
So it gives you a lot more breathing room where you can take time to make sure your wedding day is perfect for you and your love in every way; after all, your guests are forewarned you're saying I Do, they know it'll be in your chosen city, state or country, and they'll know the date and that there's a proper invitation to come.
Sending a Save the Date card really doesn't have a drawback.
Honestly, we can't really think of one - if you've got the time to send a save the date card (we generally recommend anywhere from 6 months to 2-3 years before your wedding!), you make life easy for both you and your guests by allowing more planning time, more space to finalise all the important details of your wedding day, and making sure your loved ones will be there instead of double-booking themselves. It's a win-win situation for everybody.
