I’m fairly new to all of this so would love your help.Etiquette around save the dates… do you just send save the dates to your day guests? Or should we be sending them to the evening too?

    Day guests only. An evening guest doesn't need to save the date and keep the whole day free. Evening guests are usually people you don't mind as much if they can't come so they don't need as much advance notice.

    I’ve just done day guests, then will also send day guest invites slightly before evening incase we need to ‘bump anyone up’ for numbers!

    Ah I haven’t quite sent them out, they just arrived yesterday though so exciting! Just need to finish DIYing them now.


    If you’re wanting to save, we did ours on Snapfish, designed them from a blank card. £11 for 20 and they’re stunning! Beautiful neutral beige coloured matt card with rounded corners and white writing.
    If you pick a design you like on pinterest you can replicate it really easily, I’ll add my inspo below, my wax and lavender are on their way now🙈
    Second pic is how ours turned out, scribbles will become wax and lavender🤣

    Abi these look fab!! I will check out snapfish, I was originally thinking creating something on canva and then getting it printed. But will do a bit more research. Love them!

    Oh perfect! We have quite a modern venue so think we need something sleek for save the date but will have a play around and will look for discount codes 🥰

    They do thinner ones too, this was one of the other mockups I tried but was a bit to modern looking for our venue (sorry bad quality picture!) feel free to message if you have any questions! Good luck designing🫶🏼Save the dates 3
