TO SAVE THE DATE, OR TO NOT SAVE THE DATETo Save the Date, or to Not Save the Date that is the question! As I was designing these new colorful save the date cards I thought, many times when I speak with a new bride-to-be on the phone they ask this question. Let me start by saying save the date cards are used to tell your guests to “Save the Date” for your wedding day or weekend. Pretty simple, right!? Personally, I say just send out your wedding invitations early if you need a response earlier than the norm (1 month before wedding in the USA). Then YOU save money. Sometimes guests need an entire year to plan for travel expenses...

To Save the Date, or Not Save the Date?We’re in the middle of designing (with the help of a graphic designer friend) our Save the Date post cards. When we got engaged, I read all of the “rules” on save the dates, i.e. originally intended for destination weddings, to be sent out 6 months in advance. We’re not exactly having a destination wedding (we live in NYC, and are getting married in Madison, WI—and I wouldn’t call Wisconsin in October a destination…) but since many of our friends and family would be traveling, we decided that we were going to “Save the Date”. Part of me didn’t want to waste the paper, beca...

Save the date(s)!One of the trickiest things about planning a destination wedding is getting guests to commit to flying a million miles and paying for them no-less. Obviously the more time you can give guests to wrap their heads around the pending travel the better. People need to save up, ask for leave, arrange babysitters and dog walkers and in some cases they may need to get a passport. At this early stage of the game you may not have all the details yet (I do but that’s just me). But two things you should have decided on are the date and the country, state, town. Once you have these essential elements yo...
