When do you send save the dates?

Usually six to eight months before the wedding, or closer to a year for a destination wedding.

Can the save the date match the invitation later?

Yes. Keep the same colours and fonts when you make the invitation, and the two will look like a set.

Making your save the date work

A save the date goes out months before the invitation, so guests can book travel and keep the day free. It carries less detail than the invitation: just the names, the date and the town, and a promise that the formal invitation will follow.

What to write on it

Both names and the words Save the Date, then the date itself in large type.
Give the city or venue region, which is what guests need to plan travel.
Add a line saying a formal invitation will follow, and a wedding website if you have one.

One tip

Send save the dates six to eight months ahead for a local wedding and up to a year for a destination one.
