Every bride knows that there are certain rules of etiquette that come with planning a wedding. You know that your wedding invitations need to be written a certain way, and you know the polite way to handle unexpected guest requests. Save the dates aren’t a new concept in the world of weddings, but it’s common for many couples to have a few questions about the right way to send them. Do you want to know when you should send out your save the dates magnets, or if you even need to send them out at all? If so, read on to find out the answers to your save the dates questions. Do I need to send out save the dates? Since the wedding invitation gives guests all of the information they need for the ceremony and reception, some couples don’t see a reason to send out save the dates to their guests. If you’re planning a destination wedding, or will be getting married during the holiday season or the vacation season, you should send your guests save the dates. Since save the dates are sent before invitations, it’ll give your guests enough time to make arrangements to come to your wedding. Should I send save the dates to all of my guests? Some couples think that they have to send save the dates to all of their guests, but if you’d rather not spend time or money on save dates for every person on your guest list there’s nothing wrong with that. Some couples choose to send out their save the dates to everybody, but it’s okay to only send save the dates to guests that you want to be at your wedding. Obviously you want as many people on your guest list to come as possible, but you probably want your best friends and close family members to come to your big day more than your parent’s friendly neighbors and the great aunt you’ve only met once. If you do choose to send out save the dates, make sure that you at least send them out to your “essential” guests. When should I send my save the dates? The function of save the dates is to ensure that your guests have enough time to plan to come to your wedding, so the earlier you can send out your save the dates the better. The general rule of thumb is to send out the save the dates at least 6 months before the date of the ceremony. If you’re thinking about send out save the dates three months before the ceremony don’t bother, your invitations will be enough.
