Save-The-Dates: The Basics

Who Should Send Them?

Couples marrying on a holiday weekend or at a destination wedding should send them.  For others, they are fun, but not mandatory.

What’s The Point? 

They give guests time to think about their schedule and travel plans.

When Do You Send Them? 

Mail at least six months but no more than a year before the ceremony.  Just don’t send them before you finalize your guest list.

What Should They Say? 

Include a short announcement of your impending nuptials, your names, the wedding date, and the words “Invitation To Follow.” Also, provide the name of the city where you will marry, plus your wedding Web site and any hotel and travel information, if available.
