Save the dates day/ evening

Following as I need to know this too🙈. Worried that if I send save the dates to evening people they’ll assume they’re invited to the whole thing, but equally never seen reception only save the dates before so feel a bit clueless!

I have just ordered my save the dates and evening invites which I’m sending at the same time and then will send out day guests full invites closer to the wedding. I’m going to send save the dates out to day guests only and then send evening invites out to the evening guests (they just say ‘your invited for drinks and dancing at 7pm, so it’s clear). I would avoid sending save the dates to evening guests as you don’t want them to block out their whole day or book off work if it’s a weekday wedding! Hope that helps!

Concurring with what Toni said: I believe Save the Date is usually for those invited to the whole thing. It's like an early invitation essentially (at least that's how I understand it). I'm holding off on sending evening invites for a while in case we decide we want one of them to be 'whole day' instead. That way we don't have to have an awkward conversation about why they didn't make the initial cut before but do now!!

Sorry I am late to this thread. On Etsy (I think) I have seen “save the evening” So people knew they were invited but obviously clearly states not all day. ☺️

View quoted message I’ve ended up doing this as we have a number we have to meet for the day, so if we get advanced notice that people can’t make it we’ll likely have to ‘bump up’ a few evening people!

View quoted message So did you send the save the dates out for the guests who were invited to ceremony and wedding breakfast before you sent the evening ones out?

View quoted message Just to day guests, I’m not sending evening guests save the dates, I’ll just send them their invites closer to the time
