Frequently Asked Questions
What occasions are save the date postcard templates typically used for?
Save the date postcard templates are most commonly used for weddings to give guests advance notice of your special day. However, they're also perfect for other milestone celebrations like engagement parties, anniversary celebrations, graduation parties, baby showers, birthday parties, corporate events, and holiday gatherings. Any event where you want to ensure important people can block off time in their calendars benefits from a save the date postcard.
How far in advance should I send save the date postcards?
The timing depends on your event type and guest circumstances. For weddings, it's best to send save the date postcards 6-8 months before your wedding date, or up to a year in advance if you're planning a destination wedding or holiday weekend celebration. For other events like parties or corporate gatherings, 4-6 weeks notice is typically sufficient. The key is giving people enough time to plan around your event without sending them so early that they forget.
What essential information should I include on my save the date postcard?
Your save the date postcard should include the essential details: the names of the hosts or couple, the type of event, the date, the city and state (you don't need the full address yet), and a note that a formal invitation will follow. You might also want to include your wedding website URL if you have one, or mention if it's a destination event so guests can start making travel arrangements. Keep the design clean and the text readable while highlighting the most important information.
