Before the Wedding
Save the Date
The first piece of stationery that your guests will receive will be the
Save the Date. The purpose of the Save the Date is to let the guests
know that they are invited to your wedding and should reserve that day
in their calendar. These typically provide the guest with the couple’s
names, the wedding date and details such as location or town where
the wedding will be held. The save the date will include that a formal
invitation to the wedding will follow.
Save the date cards are not mandatory however are very useful if you
have quite a few out of town or out of country guests or are getting
married in an alternate country then where you and your guests reside
– for example a destination wedding. This will allow them to begin
preparing their travel plans. We also recommend sending out Save
the Date cards if your wedding is taking place on a Holiday or Holiday
weekend that people normally spend out of town or with family and
friends – for example New Years Eve, Easter, Victoria Day, Christmas etc.
If you are unsure as to whether a friend or family member is making the
final guest list, DO NOT send them a save the date. Wait until you are
certain as you typically do not want to un-invite guests after they have
received a Save the Date. (Covid-19 affected weddings play by a little
bit of different rules as guests understand that government regulations
restrict the number of guests allowed. Guests, while disappointed that
they will not be able to share in your special day physically, understand
the difficult decision the couple has had to make).
Save the date cards do not have to match your wedding theme or
invitation stationery but we recommend having a cohesive flow to
the full stationery suite. The cards themselves are usually A2 (4.25 x
5.5”) or no larger than 5” x 7” and typically mailed to the guests 10-12
months before the wedding.
