Frequently Asked Questions
What occasions can I use save the date card templates for?
Save the date card templates are perfect for any event where you want to give guests advance notice. While they're most commonly used for weddings, you can also use them for engagement parties, milestone birthday celebrations, anniversary parties, graduation ceremonies, baby showers, bridal showers, family reunions, corporate events, and holiday gatherings. The key is to send them out well in advance of your event so guests can mark their calendars and make arrangements to attend.
When should I send out save the date cards?
The timing for sending save the date cards depends on your event type and circumstances. For weddings, it's best to send them 6-8 months in advance, or even earlier if you're planning a destination wedding or getting married during peak season. For other celebrations like milestone birthdays or anniversary parties, 2-3 months ahead is usually sufficient. If your event falls on a holiday weekend or requires travel, consider sending them earlier to give guests more time to plan.
What essential information should I include on my save the date card?
Your save the date card should include the most important details guests need to know right away. Always include the names of the people being celebrated, the date of the event, the city and state where it will take place, and a note that a formal invitation will follow. You might also want to mention if it's a destination event or if guests should expect to travel. Keep the design clean and the text easy to read, saving detailed information like specific venues, times, and dress codes for the formal invitation that comes later.
