Do I Really Need to Send Save-the-Date Cards?

If you are concerned about the costs of purchasing both save-the-cards and invitations, do not be worried because save-the-date cards are an area where you can use your creativity and computer skills to make them. For example, you can create them on your computer and print them on card stock or some other high-quality paper. You can also personalize them with a printed copy of your engagement photo, like the example above. If you will be ordering them from an invitation designer, the good thing is that you do not have to mail them to each individual guest, you only have to send one save-the-date card per household family.

Essentially, the save-the-date cards will include both of your names, the wedding date, and the location. You do not have to specify the venue per se, but it is a good idea to tell guests the city or if you reside in a large city the specific area of town such as “Brier Creek” Raleigh, NC where your wedding will take place. If you have a wedding website, you can include this information as well. In this way, guests can to stay posted on your wedding details.
