Save The Dates | Weddings

People are so much busier today than they ever were in the past. Weekends quickly fill up, free time just seems to disappear. When you are planning your wedding a year or more in advance, the date sticks in your mind. You want to make sure that your family and friends also block their calendars off for your big day.

But, if you wait until the traditional 8 weeks before to send your wedding invitations, alerting your family and friends to when the wedding will be, you risk their schedules already being booked.

Solution: Save The Dates!



These are designed to be saved! Many people will put Save The Dates up on their fridge, whether they are magnets or cards.

We offer several styles and sizes. We can do:
  • Postcards, that send without envelopes;
  • Two sided cards that go into envelopes ;
  • Magnets, with envelopes;
  • Magnets that coordinate with a card, with envelope
The size and style you choose may influence how much information you include on the card. It's a good idea to add your web address if you have a wedding website. If you have the room, hotel information is nice to include for guests that don't use the internet.

You can send Save The Dates at any time. Six months before the wedding is a good rule of thumb, but earlier or later can work, too. If your wedding date falls on a holiday weekend or a high-activity weekend (Badger game, etc.), then the sooner guests can start planning their visit and hotel stay, the better.

If you do Save The Dates, when will you send them out?
