Save The Date - 6 Basic Things You Should Know For Your Wedding Invitations

1. What should go on your save-the-date?

1. What should go on your save-the-date?

It used to be that save-the-date was a card or object containing the fundamental information of a couples wedding. However, many couples are beginning to include more specific details like the location of their wedding (other than just their name and wedding date) in their personalized save-the-date so their guests can have the convenience of planning ahead, especially so if they are overseas. You may also want to include a link to your wedding website that gives further information on your wedding day schedule.

2. Should you include a way to RSVP?

Although early RSVPs to your save-the-date can allow you to plan for your total turnout more accurately, there is also a high chance that this plan will not work out after all. You may have organized friends who will painstakingly mark down your important day on their calendars, but how about the other handful who tend to procrastinate? They might forget everything altogether!

3. Should you include your registry information?

It is not appropriate to include where you are registered in your save-the date. If you have a wedding website or plan to have one, then such information is most suited to be placed there.

4. What kind of save-the-date should I use?

Traditionally it used to be a card, but creativity rules. There are many options to a save-the-date such as magnets or objects with customized printing. To save costs, it is recommended that you go for the traditional cards. It saves you time and gives you convenience without compromising on the effects of personalization and creativity. There are many save-the-date card ideas available online for your personal reference.

5. How do you start with a design?

If you do not have a flair for designing, dont panic. There are many software programs available which would be able to help. If not, try websites that have predesigned templates of save-the-date. There are many designs available and there is definitely one to your liking, especially if you would like to save the hassle of trying to conceptualize a design inspiration from scratch.

6. Which design to choose?

Most importantly, choose designs that reflect the personality of you and your spouse-to-be best. You would want your save-the-date to be attention grabbing, and it has to ideally have a color theme that would showcase your wedding colors, or be of the same theme as you wedding. It is less formal than the actual invitation process, so just relax, follow your heart and make sure you have fun with it!
