Save the Date

sdurn, 11 June, 2013 at 09:36 Posted on Planning 0 16

Hiya,

I was just wondering how far in advance do you send out save the date cards?

My wedding will be on a bank holiday weekend so do i send them out a little earlier than normal so people dont book the weekend away?

Thanks

Sam

    Most people send them about a year before Smiley smile

    No I wanted fridge magnets so I ordered them off Vista print. I did design them though and in my opinion they are great! A friend did this with hers and I still have it on my fridge. It's nice to go to other peoples houses and see my magnet on their fridges. Oh and I asked N my friend if she would mind me stealing her idea and she was fine with it. The actual magnets could not be more different if I tried.

    We sent ours out this week, 10 months before, but only coz we only booked the venue a month ago and needed to wait for them to arrive. I'd say any time after a year should be fine

    It seems I was a little late, I sent them out about 4 months before the invites which we only sent out on the 27th May and they need to be returned by 30th June. The earlier the better though so people aren't booked up and then your invites can go out quite late.

    I'm hopefully sending mine out in the next few weeks - my mum has kindly offered to make them so the exact date will depend on when she finishes them, but the wedding isn't until November next year anyway so plenty of time yet!

    I sent mine out a year before and I made my own. I didn't find it stressful at all but I enjoy arts and crafts and I had loads of time. I kept it quite simple though, this was my design:


    Then I did glitter glue around the edge of the picture in the corresponding colours and stuck little gems over a couple of the flowers in the bush.

    I'm also a vista print magnet girl. Uploaded my own design rather than one there and am really happy with them.

    We sent ours out with 11months to go (so basically a year). Do it too early and people may forget, also I wanted people to get semi excited about the wedding and not think that it's aaagessss away and be less excited.

    We kept ours really simple - we wrote our names, the date and 'save the date' on a heart slate board, took it with us on holiday and took a photograph on the beach. We then used vistaprint to create postcards! Pop an address label and stamp on the back and voila! Plus no need for envelopes!!
