We’ve compiled a save the date wording guide covering a range of styles and tones, from formal to casual and a few in-between, to give you a head start!

♥ General wedding location.
♥ Invitation to follow line
Get your guests to Save Your Date in style!
With our free Save the Date wording templates and guide in a handy-dandy PDF you can download, you'll be able to whip up the perfect save the date wording. But here's a few little tips to help you along the way.
You don't need to go all out with your save the date wording.
Unlike your wedding invitation wording, your save the date cards just need date, general location, and of course the MVPs - you and your love - listed. You don't need to worry about putting times or venue addresses in there at all: just the bare necessities, those simple bare necessities. (And if you read that in Baloo from the Jungle Book's voice, 10 points!)
If you're having a destination wedding, include a few extra details if you can.
You don't need to write an essay, but a little bit of research on accommodation and popping your finds on the back of your Save the Date card will make a HUGE difference for your guests. All you need to do is give them the name of the place and contact details. This is especially helpful when your wedding is in peak travel season and you want to ensure your guests can make it.
This is also a great thing to do even if you're not having a destination wedding but have guests travelling to you from interstate or overseas. A few accommodation suggestions close to your venue and even mentioning the best taxi services in that area can make it so much easier for them to come and celebrate your wedding day with you.
Don't feel you have to use "Save the Date" if you don't want to.
With your save the date wording, you can use whatever feels right to you; it doesn't have to be just plain and simple Save the Date or Save our Date. Here's a few ideas from some of our beautiful couples:
♥ We call dibs! Join us to celebrate our wedding on (date)
♥ Pencil us in!
♥ Love is patient, and so are we - save this day for our wedding
♥ Here's your heads-up - you'll want to dust off your fancy pants on (date)
♥ Us, you, dancing shoes and I Do's - reserve (date) for our wedding!
Triple-check your details and wording!
It never hurts to get a second and third person to check your wording! You get so used to what you've written that your brain automatically scans the first and last letters of each word, so you may skip any tiny typos just because you've been looking at your wording for too long. So get friends or fam to do a check for you just to be safe.
And that's it! Quick, easy, and not as scary as it looks, right? Right! But as always, if you need a bit of a hand or some suggestions to spice up your save the date wording, just get in touch. We love to chat and we're always here to help!

What I need to help us to plan our wedding
I purchased 2 x wedding planners for both my daughters. They were over the moon when they opened the box. Beautiful quality and packaging. Thank you so much. ❤️
Thank you! From my first call to enquire about the process to the delivery of our beautiful Allegra Stationery was amazing. Your Team Lala at Paper & Ink were professional, helpful, diligent and delightful to work with. Truely you couldn't have been any better! Thank you
amazing book! so helpful and gives a really organized timeline.
I will be purchasing this book as a gift for anyone in my life next to be engaged, it's a game changer!!
My daughter in law to be absolutely loved this planner
I love it! So much thought has gone into creating this planner and I am so excited to use it to plan my wedding in the coming months! It is also the perfect gift for a friend who just got engaged 🥰
I'm having a budget wedding & couldn't afford hiring an actual wedding planner. This planner is PERFECT! It covers every small detail, even the packaging was super cute!🥹 Highly recommend this product 🫶
I received my order today, and after looking at two different websites for wedding planners, I am so glad that I chose Paper and Ink Studio!
From the moment you open the package, you feel special as it's personalised just for you. I got everything in my order as I couldn't help myself, but I am so grateful I did. While unpackaged my order, my fiance even started looking through the invitation examples and commenting on them. If it were online, this wouldn't have happened. I'm so happy he has something to love with the package, also.
I honestly feel at ease now planning my wedding as I know my planning will assist me, and all the other things add that extra organisation, even colour samples, which I can't stop thinking about.
Thank you so much for putting so much love and effort into your business.
I brought this with the extras which was a brilliant idea. Such a beautiful bunch of products, made me realise how much stuff I needed to organise 😂 thanks beautifuls
