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!
I am blown away by the finished product of the Wedding Planner. The effort, thought detail that they girls have gone into to making one of a kind planner is AMAZING AND OMG.
The sample package is also a MUST as it gives you ideas of what sort of invites, table name, table numbers, save date and heaps more they supply in this package.
I am lost for words and cannot wait to start planning my wedding.
I would honestly recommend this to anymore.

This planner has EVERYTHING you could possibly need and guide you in the right direction for the planning process. It is so beautiful and I loved that there were so many different designs to choose from.
Absolutely in love with ours!
Has everything within it, including all things I hadn’t thought of! Couldn’t be more impressed
My partner and I both love this wedding planner! We spent ages trying to find a detailed planner but all that we came across were basic with no information. We couldn’t have asked for anything better than our wedding planner from Paper and Ink studio. We were so stuck with what we need to do to start our wedding and this has already been a big help.
Lala and her team were amazing with our requests after ordering the planner for our daughter. In an industry full of high price tags and little customer service, these guys went above and beyond to ensure our vision and time frame came into fruition. Could not reccomend more. If there were 10 stars 🌟 I would give them! Sarah.
Came very quickly in the mail, loved the packaging and attention to detail. the tissue papaer was lovely and loved the little detail of the confetti in the box. Thank you for making the postage bag black to conceal the expensive item inside. Love the planner, it has so many tips and tricks and makes it easy to have all the information in one location!
My fiance and I were feeling very lost and overwhelmed with our wedding planning. This is heaven sent! The personalisation is a beautiful touch. We feel so much more at ease about the wedding process now.
I’m absolutely in love with this wedding planner
They have gone above and beyond and have thought of absolutely everything you will need

I am so happy to have found a genuine company filled with staff who actually have excellent customer service. Our goodies were a little worse for wear from postage and the girls were absolutely incredible. Straight away onto it and sending new goodies. So polite and easy to talk to and great products! Can't wait to use them. Very thankful for your help!
