When you’re picking out your dress, booking the venue and tasting cakes, you’re fantasizing about your big day with your partner. When you’re thinking about twirling around the dance floor, you and your partner are there, but so are all of your friends and family. You want all of the important people in your lives at your celebration. If you’ve got friends scattered across the country—or world—you’ll want to give them enough notice, so they can make travel arrangements. That’s why it’s a good idea to mail Save the Date cards out with enough time to spare, usually four to six months. If you don’t want to waste paper, you can send out a Save the Date in lieu of an invitation. Save the Dates can also set the tone for your wedding. Picking out a more casual Save the Date makes people believe that your wedding might be more casual, so they can start mentally preparing what they’re going to wear. It’s important that the vibe of your card and your wedding are the same. That’s why we rounded up the best Save the Date cards for you.
