Save the Dates

View Quoted Comment That’s a cute idea

View Quoted Comment I shopped around til I found one that wasn’t to crazy priced bc I wanted a magnet

I sent out vintage styled post cards with your usual save the date info on it. I actually just sent them out last week for my November wedding. We have quite a few guests from out of town who definitely plan on attending our wedding so I wanted to give them a good bit of notice. 6-7 months in advance is appropriate.

We sent ours out around 7 months before the wedding. The front has "Save The Date" across the top, a picture of us, the wedding date, and the city/ state. The back has an October calendar grid with a heart on our date, "formal invitation to follow," and the link to our wedding website. I didn't particularly want to send formal save the dates, but considering we've been engaged for 2 years now (thanks Covid 🙄) and most of our guests are from out of state, it seemed like a necessary evil.

View Quoted Comment Thanks! We thought it might make it easier for everyone to remember where we are getting married if it’s a postcard from where we are getting married. This way if it’s thrown away it wasn’t a big loss, the postcards were really cheap like maybe a dollar and a quarter apiece. So it was something fun to do. I had them printed at a local print shop with the information on them and had my cousin make address labels so it was pretty simple.

View Quoted Comment Thank you. Yea we will have family traveling from out of town as well

View Quoted Comment I got them from Simply to Empress. I actually was able to find a coupon to go with the sale and they became like 0.57 each

View Quoted Comment Oh wow, that's great. Thanks so much!

We did ours 6 months before in postcard form. Don’t worry, I think people will always ask the date because they don’t pay attention! Lll
