Save The Date cards play an important role for future wedding plans.
If you’ve ever planned a celebration, you’ll know that finding time to get everything organised isn’t easy and when it comes to wedding planning, many couples give themselves at least a year or more to put all their plans into place. But for those guests who aren’t living and breathing the wedding details with you, remembering the date can be tricky and with the best venues often getting booked up more than a year in advance, keeping extended family and important friends up to date with your wedding day plans may require a reminder.
That’s where save the date cards can come in really handy. Traditionally a way of informing guests of your wedding date, save the date cards have been making a comeback.
Save the date cards are a fun, yet helpful way of letting guests know that you want them to be a part of your special day and to keep your chosen date free. Making them aware of your plans, however far in advance, is useful for everyone and especially necessary if your wedding falls at a time of year that is popular for celebrations, such as the summer or around Christmas time. Save the date cards are also just a really nice way to make your engagement more official, particularly for those who perhaps don’t see you regularly.
The beauty of these cards is that you can be really creative as they don’t have to be quite as formal or traditional as other wedding stationery. You could choose save the date cards that have a bit of humour, even using styled magnets or innovative trinkets. Or you can use your save the date cards to echo the rest of your wedding stationery, with a consistent theme running throughout your invites, order of service and even table place cards. Like wedding invitations, you can choose from thousands of styles, colours, fonts and embellishments.
Let your cards tell guests as much or as little as you would like - just the date, the date and the venue or even more, it’s entirely up to you. And because they’re informal you can have a bit of fun with the wording too, giving guests a fun message about your upcoming union and preparing them for the invitation to follow.
