WHY GO WITH A SAVE THE DATE?
1. They give your guests plenty of notice – Typically save the dates go out 8-12 months prior to the wedding date which is enough time to keep the date free and avoid double bookings.
2. You are having a domestic or international wedding- If your big day is in interstate or overseas, a save the date will allow time for your guests to book all the necessary accommodation and travel.
3. They set the tone for the wedding – Save the dates are the first glimpse into the theme and style of your wedding, giving your guests an indication of what they can expect from your big day. Normally we suggest just a peek into your colour scheme and style, so they still are left wondering what’s to come.
4. They avoid confusion – Invitations often don’t go out 6-8 weeks before your wedding day, so even if your guests won’t require travel or accommodation, save the dates inform them early of all the relevant details and give them plenty time to prepare.
