Save-the-Date cards are extremely important
because they will let your guests know of your wedding date so that they don’t
make other plans for the Big Day. If you want to make sure you follow the rules
of etiquette when it comes to these cards, read on and find out more:
· Ideally, you should send your guests the Save-the-Date cards as soon as possible (4-6 months before the wedding is preferable). This will give people plenty of time to take the necessary days off and to plan their trip to your wedding.
· Keep in mind that you don’t have to include RSVPs with your Save-the-Date cards. Sure, including them will give you a better idea of your head count, but the truth is that it is highly unlikely that everyone will actually send the RSVPs back. It’s probably better to include them with the actual wedding invitations.
· Same as with the invitations, you should never include registry information on your Save-the-Dates. This is considered to be rather rude because most people will read it as a sign that you are expecting them to offer gifts. Sure, they will all want to know where you are registered – but the invitations and Save-the-Date cards are not the place to do it. It’s recommended that you offer your registry information via your Maid-of-Honor/mothers or on your wedding website.
· Last, but definitely not least, your Save-the-Date cards don’t have to be actual cards. In fact, anything from magnets to personalized candy bars will work just fine (and it will actually be more unique and interesting for your guests).
