Plenty of couples are now sending out Save The Dates before they send the official wedding (or engagement!) invitation. Why? Because most of us don’t get down to finalising our wedding invites till just a month or two before the big day, but we do want guests to block those dates for us.
You can have Save The Dates printed and mailed to your entire guest list, or you can choose to send a digital version via Whatsapp or email. Either way, the save the date wedding invitation wording is fairly straightforward –
Save The Date
For the wedding of {Bride & Groom}
{Date & City – or venue if you’ve already booked it}
Formal Invitation to Follow
From simple to florals and watercolours, the options are honestly endless. Take your pick, based on a design or theme or concept you love!
Here’s a basic guide to the different styles of Save The Dates you’ll find on our list:
I. For Your Wedding
II. For Your Engagement
