Save The Date Cards

I always thought you had to send save the date cards under two circumstances:
1. Many of your customers are Towners
2. Getting married on a weekend (or a busy weekend as the weekend before Christmas, etc..)

I do not fit one of these categories (95% local and not a busy weekend for everyone), but people have asked when I send cards to save the day. I do not foresee, but now I am second guessing myself.

Any ideas on the rules of Save the Date cards?

We fell to # 2 - were married on December 22 so it was absolutely necessary for us to send them.

I think they are becoming more common now as something that most people do - I think it has more to do with the fact that people are getting busier and I think that most People appreciate the heads up peak. I do not think they are a necessity, but I think they may be regarded as a courtesy.

We printed at home. We found boxes of Nice to a page with a picture on the fireplace and printed it up. It was really cheap. Further we have received have been very enjoyable too. Our friends got married at the beach, they took a picture with their initials in the sand in a heart ... then transferred them to a site like shutterfly.com record and sent postcards date. My sister-in-law actually sent magnets with a photo of them (ironically, taken by photographer at our wedding) and the wedding date, location, etc.

Anyway - it's just a nice thing to do and there are tons of ways to do so at lower cost while adding a personal touch to them:)

Good luck!

If so, they are not necessary. It is useless to take on the expense. Maybe some people are simply used to obtain them, or they are confused with engagement ads, in which some couples list a date if they are already there.

Personally, I would not use in these circumstances.

My guests are all from outside the city, and I did not bother sending them. As long as people know when the wedding is it does not matter. And it is equally important to ensure that local people know when the people that will lead to two hours. If there are guests that you do not know / do not speak often that you still feel very strongly that they must follow, then yes, send save the dates. Otherwise, just do what everyone knows where they are, so they can put the date without having to clutter their recycling box.

It is customary to send your "save the date cards" once you've confirmed your wedding date. It gives people the opportunity to plan their lives around the date of your wedding.

I am a wedding officiant and I also have a business card to date, as well as other types of cards and wedding stationary. Take a look at my site and see what you think.

Is a personal decision. I mean, I have invited city. I called them. I also have a web page set up through marriage http://www.theknot.com that people can see all the available information. Save the Date cards, in my opinion are a waste of money and a killer to the environment. I'm sending invites, so why do I need to send two? It is simply ridiculous. Do not send. If you do, you do the page

I'm with you, at least that many people need to make travel plans or you need to make sure they do not make other plans on a weekend vacation, I do not know any other reason to send record th.
