Save the Dates Cards - Have i messed it up???

Normally you just send to day guests. Can you maybe contact the people you sent to who are only evening guests and let them know that is to save the date for the evening only? Maybe explain you wanted everyone to know the date but forgot to specify was evening. Don't stress, it will be fine, make a joke of it and am sure your friends will understand.

We have sent ours to day guests only. Could you maybe let them know its evening only? X

You normally only send save the dates to day guests. Can you perhaps text/call/meet them to explain that they are invited to the evening rather than the full day? I’m sure everyone will understand and sounds like there’s plenty of time to rectify it, maybe just worth clarifying it before sending out the invitations. Try not to worry, it’s your wedding day so do what makes you happy and enjoy the planning experience.

My cousin sent save the dates to us and we were then only invited to the evening. I would imagine most people have an idea of the bit they are invited to.


We just sent save the dates to day guests, but also sent a few save the evenings to some we would definitely like there. Maybe you could message the evening guests and explain they were meant to be save the evenings.

Personally I dont think its anything to stress over, just confirm it with the invite when you send them or if people get in touch to ask. Im sure most people will be happy to have something to look forward to especially after the last year.... We sent save the dates to everyone and clarified further on the invites as after having to move our dates due to covid decided to split the ceremony and the reception over 2 days and have a small ceremony one day and the evening reception another (failsafe in the event of another lockdown so we could hopefully still get married just move the celebrations if needed), when we clarified to people we had noone come back to us and complain. You were excited and wanted to spread the word (which is basically what i did too) its a save the date so non specific in my opinion, its your day you do you .
