Well, it's official. Save the Dates have become an expected part of the wedding stationery package. With people planning vacations in advance, traveling for work, and just being busier than ever, these little cards are very important to ensure that the people that are most important to you will be there on your big day.
When should you send them? The standard rule of thumb is to mail them approximately 6 months prior to your wedding date. This gives your guests enough time to rearrange their busy schedules if necessary, ensuring that they'll be able to attend your event. If you are having a destination wedding or if your wedding date falls on a holiday weekend, it is polite to mail the cards as soon as your venue is booked. This gives your guests ample time to plan for flights and accommodations.
What if you don't yet know your wedding theme, formality, or colors? We recommend simply choosing a design that you like and let the rest follow. You're newly engaged! Now's a time for celebrating, not stressing.
P.S. Congrats on your engagement!
