When you first get engaged, the wedding can feel like ages away. Sure, you\u2019re over the moon excited to marry the love of your life, but it can feel like a long time before it actually gets here. Trust us \u2013 it\u2019s going to come up fast!<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve set a date and things start to fall into place, you need to nail down your guest list and start thinking about your invitations. An important aspect of the wedding invitation is the Save the Date card. These handy little cards serve to inform your guests that they are going to be invited to the wedding and ensure that they make themselves available on that date.<\/p>\n

\n

Are Save the Dates really that important? Put simply, YES! Since you often won\u2019t send the official invitation until later on, Save the Dates will make sure that most of your guests can come to the wedding. Since they are usually sent out 12-9 months before the wedding, this also clears up any doubts that your guests may have about whether or not they are invited so they don\u2019t feel obligated to hold a date open.<\/p>\n

Remember that simple is what you need. So what information should you include on your Save the Date?<\/p>\n

1. Your wedding date<\/strong>: This seems obvious, but you\u2019d be surprised. Make sure it is clear what day your guests are \u2018saving\u2019.<\/p>\n

2. Your names<\/strong>: Also, may seem obvious, but it is very important to include your names a long with the date so that guests don\u2019t get confused.<\/p>\n

3. The city and country:<\/strong> While you don\u2019t need to put the venue or address, it is a good idea to let guests know the city that you will be getting married in, in case they need to plan to take time of work or arrange accommodations.<\/p>\n

4. Your wedding website URL<\/strong>: If you have one, it is a good idea to let your guests know that they can find more information on your wedding website.<\/p>\n

5. Invitation to follow<\/strong>: This little bit of information lets guests know that they will receive more information at a later date so they don\u2019t overwhelm you with texts and emails asking for details.<\/p>\n
