Save-the-dates
Today most couples send out a save-the-date about six to eight months before their wedding, officially announcing their big day and making sure that the date is in everyone’s calendar. It’s also a great way to allow guests to start planning their travel arrangements early, if necessary.
Save-the-dates don’t usually have much information, just the date, venue and perhaps an RSVP request. More and more couples are sending electronic save-the-dates, which is not only convenient but also cuts costs. Whichever way you decide to send a save-the-date, make sure it looks good – it is, after all, the first glimpse guests will have of your wedding day!
