'Save the date' booboo.........****FLASH****

It is a lot of money and I don't think I could justify reordering some of them because i forgot to say "save the evening". Where would you stamp them to say evening?

I am Contemplating save the dates and to be honest probably would have done the same booboo as you, but i am getting married on a sunday and therefore people won't necessary need to take time off work. When are you sending the save the dates out? and when are you sending out the invites?

Blimey you've ordered your save the dates early!!! Super organised!

I'm not planning on sending save the dates to my evening guests but as you are I think a stamp would make it look really tacky & spoil the professional look. How much would it cost to get new evening ones done?

They look great!

If it were me, I don't think id bother ordering more, i'm far too much of a penny pincher for that ?

It would avoid potential confusion, but I think if you're able to just add the relevant information in another more cost effective way (such as the stamp idea) and that looks good then (personally) i'd go for that.

Flash again when you've made your decision ?

They are lovely, have you tried vistaprint just for the evening guest? They do some lovely designs on there with LOADS of deals.

Hmmm difficult one. Personally, I wouldn't send them as they are to evening guests (I wouldn't if the wedding was on a weekend either).

Rather than spend that amount of money replacing them I'd be sourcing a cheaper alternative for the evening guests (or make them myself - are they just printed on pearlescent card then the corners trimmed?) or I just wouldn't send any to evening guests.

My sister said to stamp the back of them but I thought about stamping the back of the envelope I send them in.......tbh I think I got bit excited ordering them for the evening guests lol but hey ho!!

I am super organised, Im sending them out at the end of Feb I was thinking with the new tax yr starting and people needing to book days off (with it being a friday) was going to send the proper invites in august-ish lol!!

I think Im going to leave them, I dont think I can justify spending another £50 on save the dates!!

Thank u for ure opinions ladies xxxxx

I would possibly just write a little note on the back of each one saying something along the lines of:

Dear <guest names>

"We would really love for you to celebrate our wedding day with us" - for day guests.

"We would really love for you to join us at our evening reception to celebrate our wedding" - for evening guests

Love <name & name>

They are lovely save the dates though!

Vistaprint......never thought of that, will have quick look now xxxx

Wow... That's quite expensive for what seem to be pearlescent card with a hole and rounded corners. Did you get ribbon with them also? I would probably do that kind of card for 30p each.

Could you make the evening ones yourself? Stamping "Evening" is one solution maybe "Evening Invitation To Follow" would be better but not sure how you would do that with a stamp unless you could get one made but then that's defeating the money saving option

Thank u, I love them theyre letter pressed instead of printed....the pic doesnt do them justice! I dont think Im going to send the evening guests one, Think ill just send them to our day guests and send the formal invites out in july so theyve got 6months notice!!xxxx

I agree, a little over priced lol but I know the business who made them and they're struggling so wanted to help. Theyre also doing my invites, thank you for offering hun xxxx

In my opinion, it really doesn't matter! We've sent a save the date to everybody, and then will send a more detailed invitation (day or evening.) I really wouldn't worry, because they look fab!

I made a boo boo on my invites, I realised after I'd spent weeks making them, that I hadn't put on an RSVP date! So I went onto eBay, ordered a sheet of 75 personalised stickers (for about £1.50) and stuck them on the back of the envelope. You could do that, put a little note like "please save the evening" or "please save the date for our evening reception". Or you could put the stickers on the back of the actual save the date itself?

They look great by the way!

First of all - they're really lovely. Very classy.

I just wouldn't bother sending them to evening guests. People you really want to be there will know about it by word of mouth and will save the date.

I would never send a Save The Date to an evening guest (well, I didn't send STDs anyway, but you know what I mean). In your shoes, I'd probably pay to have new ones done.

Couldn't you just send them to the day guests only? We only sent save the dates for people who were invited during the day, we figured evening guests didn't need them as they didn't need to keep the day free, they can just turn up in the evening if they want to.

Exactly this!

They are so pretty

Hannah H Here is the link, they're letter pressed not printed, they're really lovely im getting my formal invites from there too.....they've got some really unique stuff which ive never seen b4!!

Ive decided to just send them out to the day guests, Im defo not buying anymore and to save confusion i think its best!!

Thank you for all your opinions ladies, mucho appreciated xxxxx

I actually like the idea of a stamp. Do it at a bit of an angle! I messed up on mine too. Ordered per person and not per couple ?

It's lovely that you've ordered from there because they are a struggling business. Very sweet of you and gorgeous STD's. Love letterpress.

Kyla you're back!!! I've been wondering how you are! Join us on FB if you're on there (link in my sig).

To answer your question, I'm not sending save the dates to evening guests, but would definitely stamp them rather than buy more!

Daffodilwaves I very nearly ordered for everyone too lol!! Thank u, Im kinda fond of them too

Smazzy_smoo I am back, been out of it for a while but with 14months left thought beta pull finger out, what have u sorted or still got to do xxxx

I certainly wouldn't pay for more. Perhaps as they are only evening invites you could hand deliver them as and when you see people and expalin that it is for the evening.
