Why send Save the Date cards?
Weekends during the holiday and summer seasons tend to be busy times for many people. If you are planning your wedding for one of these seasons, you may wish to send save-the-date cards. These cards, sent at least three months before the wedding, advise family and friends of your wedding plans and allow them to take your wedding date into consideration when making their own plans. Save-the-date cards are also sent when a number of overseas guests are invited and when a wedding is held in a resort area, since guests might like to plan a vacation around your wedding.
Save-the-date cards should match the wedding invitation.
To whom are save-the-date cards sent?
They may be sent to all guests but it is especially important for out-of-town guests to receive them as they will have to make travel arrangements. However, if they are sent only to your out-of-town guests and your out-of-town guests speak to your in-town guests, your in-town guests might feel slighted, thinking that they are not going to be invited to your wedding.
