SAVE THE DATE The first thing you will want to do is tell your guests about your wedding plans with a special “Save the Date” card. This might be the most important invitation that you will be sending to your guests. It is the first time that you will be letting them know about your destination plans. This card will allow them to make plans themselves. Knowing the details will allow them to save some money, book flights and hotels, take time off of work, etc. Sending your cards out as soon as possible, 9-12 months, is a nice courtesy. Make sure to include your names, the wedding date, location, and a link to your wedding site, if you have one. By giving your guests as much information as you can, it will allow them to get excited about your wedding. It is time to be creative! Here are a few ideas to get you started: - Send an invitation resembling a boarding pass or a luggage tag - Send a postcard with a picture of your destination - Send a tradition card that is embossed with sand and seashells -Send an invitation that is similar to a passport Your “Save the Date” cards are a view of the wonderful things to come.
