save the date invitations.

For my first wedding I just sent them to day guests.

we aren't having extra guests in the evening this time but to be honest I think we'd only have sent them to day guests of we were.

If you send save the date for evening guests they will think their invitation is for all day. Either only send them to day guests or do separate ones for the evening I think.

We only sent save the date to our day guests. We didn't want any confusion for evening only guests thinking they were coming all day xx

So if for evening guests I send an invitation saying sve the evening would that be okay? As I'd like to make sure they save the date as we're not having to many people to the breakfast and then inviting most to the evening

That's fine and there should be no confusion of what they are invited to

I think that's a great idea xx

I am going to use some I found on vista print (when I actually book my date lol). Around £4-5 for 10 I think. Or magnets 3.99

you can add your own text like venue & time. So you could keep the same style but add 'from 7:30'

I will eventually do this too as our breakfast will be intimate.

To be honest, if the evening guests aren't important enough to you to be invited to the day, are you important enough to them for them to make a point of saving that evening in their diaries? An evening invitation is more like a party invitation, IMHO. I'd go if I could make it and it wasn't too far away, and I wouldn't fret if I couldn't make it.

I wouldn't send save the date cards to the evening guests at all.

I don't agree with the last comment at all, other than not sending save the dates to evening guests. Weddings are expensive and just because you're not invited all day doesn't mean you're not important enough to the couple!! Attitudes like that is part of what makes wedding planning so stressful. I'd be pleased to be invited to any part of a wedding and would not only show up if I was nearby.

If my guests took that view I would rather they didn't come!

Anyway I think as other people have said, people who receive save the dates would tend to think they're invited all day so best just to make it clear.

Thanks Kelly. If I could have everyone for the whole day I would do but unfortunately my money won't stretch that far. It doesn't mean that they mean less to me, I hope my guests don't take the same view.

I think I'll send save the dates to day guests and save the evening to evening guests.
