Planning a wedding?
One of the first things you need to do is to send out Save the Date cards to
your guests, around six months before your wedding and before you send formal
invitations. Save the Date cards are essentially announcements that show when
and where your big day will be held. Here are some of the reasons why it’s
important to send them:
1. It gives your
guests time to adjust their schedules.
Save the Date cards
include essential information such as the date and time of the wedding, as well
as the venue. It’s important to send these cards well in advance so that your guests
can clear up their schedules for your event. This is especially crucial if you are
planning a destination wedding that requires guests to travel, or if the affair
will last two or more days.
2. It’s a stylish way
to remind people of your wedding.
Do you want your
guests to remember the date of your wedding? Then you must use creative ways to
make your cards more attractive and visible. You can get wooden or vintage Save the Date cards
with magnets that allow them to be stuck on the fridge. Some manufacturers also
offer acrylic Save the Date cards. You can choose among mirror finish, gold, or
black acrylic. Don’t forget to advise your guests to send an RSVP one or two
weeks before your wedding so you can finalize the seating plan and make
rearrangements when necessary.
3. It’s a part of good
wedding etiquette.
You want to properly
invite your guests to your wedding, especially if it’s going to be a formal
event. Be sure to send them these cards three to six months prior to the date
of the event. Think of it as advanced notice; it helps your guests make plans, save
up some money, book airline flights, hire a babysitter, and buy a gift.
