Save the Date cards are no doubt one of the most popular forms of traditional correspondences sent to friends and loved ones weeks or months prior to the wedding date. Some people are even sending save the date cards just weeks after the engagement day or as soon as they have an idea on the official date of the "big day". Everyone wants to make this a perfect moment and if you're on the verge of your excitement, you must have thought of sending save the date cards to every person you knew. However, there are some drawbacks that you need to consider before you send out your first batch of cards, or even before you decide on having them designed or purchased. Save the date cards are informal ways to tell people about your wedding day and to create anticipation for the occasion. These are not really necessary and in fact an added expense to your wedding plans. Prior to having the cards designed, you will need to have the full list of guests who will come to your wedding. This is quite difficult, especially that these cards usually come first before the invitation. Unless you already have the full list of people you've already planned to invite on the celebration, planning on who to send the save the date cards can be difficult. Send your save the date cards only to people who are invited to the wedding. This might sound like common sense, but many couples fail to plan their save the date cards and inform people by impulse. You don't want to offend people assuming that they are invited, when in fact invitation cards aren't the same with save the date cards. Although you can fuse both save the date and invitation cards into one, that's really personal preference. Save the date cards are usually fancy instead of formal, unlike invitations which usually are formally written in script with the full special guests list. You can put wacky pictures of you and your partner there with a short greeting or create it around a funny theme. Modern save the date cards have QR codes printed on the card, which links to a webpage when scanned through a smart phone's QR reader app. This is neat, especially if you've built a blog or website around the event so people can be updated with the latest happenings. Save the date cards may not sound necessary, but they are usually cheaper than invitation cards and creates more anticipation for those who find your wedding an important event of the year. Giving out these cards will also remind people that you thought about them, and that you want them to be part of the few who are dear to you-- people you want to be present in this once-in-a-lifetime moment in your life as a couple. Make sure that before you decide on buying your cards, contact a card supplier who can give you package deals on bulk orders and if possible, design the card for you according to your specifications.
