If you’re newly engaged and excited to share the news with family and friends, the best way to do it is with save the date cards!
A save the date is a card you send through the mail and is the first step in announcing your wedding date to your guests. And let’s be honest: a custom card in the mail goes much further than a simple social media announcement.
3 Reasons to Send Save the Date Cards
A save the date may be a simple card, but it does three things extremely well. Here are 3 reasons to send save the date cards.
1. Mark the date on the calendar for guests
A save the date functions by letting your guests know there’s an official date. This way, they can keep the calendar date open for it!
2. Give guests a glimpse into your colors and theme
When you send a save the date, you can customize it with your colors, favorite theme, and style of the upcoming wedding as a preview. Guests always take notice, so this is important.
3. Lets guests know they’re on the guest list
That’s why you never send a save the date unless someone is absolutely on the guest list. :)
