Newly engaged? Starting to plan your wedding? If you know the town where it will all go down, the people you want to alert and maybe started a wedding website – why not shout it out loud and let it all be known by sending out a save the date!

Save the dates are no longer just for destination weddings. It has almost become common practice to give notice of your wedding date and location so that you claim that date and let your friends and family know you want to celebrate with them. It is also a courtesy to allow your guests time to book travel and accommodations (if needed) as well as let them in on what is to come.

Many people choose this route to share an engagement photo, do something creative and out of the box or if planning has progressed enough, something that will set the tone and give a hint of what the wedding colors, location and celebration will be like.

It can be as bare bones as listing the names of the bride and groom, the date and location. Or it can be much more detailed with items such as website, accommodations, registry, schedule of events and much more.

The more details you can provide for your guests either in print or on the website, the more informed they will be when booking travel arrangements or setting aside a date(s) to be able to join in on your wedding celebration.

The options are limitless – flat card, folded card, pocket, magnet, postcard, etc. Find your match and order today. It is never too early to shout it out loud that you are getting married!
