Save the Dates: What is the purpose and do I need them?

Save the dates were originally designed for couples who were planning their nuptials with a year or more away; if they were having a destination wedding; or if their wedding was happening on a holiday. In these instances it provides your guests plenty of time to prepare, plan and coordinate vacations and finances.

However couples who are not having weddings on a holiday or far away from home, still choose to use save the dates. It’s a fun and exciting way to introduce their wedding plans to loved ones as well as an opportunity to give a keepsake.

If you are planning a wedding, and if any of the reasons above apply, by all means do so. And if none of them apply and you choose to do so; it’s all about your preference. However, do not send then if your wedding is less than six months away.

Tip: Make sure that your Save the Date is personal and tailored to you both. Make the cards fun and exciting; depicting both of your personalities and the love you share for one another.
