Choosing save the date cards is one of the very first decisions that you will make as you start planning your wedding. There are several things you will want to consider when choosing your save the date cards to ensure that you get just the right ones!
Before choosing save the date cards, you will need to have done some of the major planning. While you may have a specific date in mind for your wedding, don’t rush out to send your save the date cards. You will want to make sure that your ceremony and reception location are both going to be available on your chosen date. If they aren’t available and you have your heart set on getting married there, then you may need to be flexible about your wedding date. It would be a setback to send out save the date cards and then have to change the date!
The whole purpose of save the date cards is to let your friends and family know the date you plan on getting married. You don’t need to include a lot of information because that will all be sent in the wedding invitations. Your save the date cards will make sure that your guests have the time to plan a trip to your wedding and that they do not make any other plans on your wedding day. If you are having a destination wedding or having it in a location distant from your home, you may want to include this on the save the date cards so your guests can make their plans.
Choosing save the date cards should depend on what you want to express about yourselves as a couple. This is an excellent time to use your engagement pictures if you had them taken. Perhaps you have already chosen a theme for your wedding and you want to incorporate that into your save the date cards. Don’t worry if you have not chosen any theme or color scheme. Nobody expects you to be this far along in your wedding planning!
This makes choosing your save the date cards more about you and your personal style! You are free to go as simple or complex as you want. They can be simple and elegant or wild and fun. There are no limitations. Your guests will have no expectations based on your save the date cards.
When choosing save the date cards, choose ones that are going to give your guests a glimpse into your relationship. Remember, the most important part of save the date cards is getting your guests to save the date for your wedding!
