WORDING, TIMING AND TIPS
Before you send it.
A save the date is a heads-up, not an invitation. It tells guests the date and the city so they can book time off, flights and childcare, and it promises that a formal invitation will follow. Keep it short: your names, the date, the location and “invitation to follow.”
Because it goes out months ahead, a digital save the date is easy to share and easy to find again. Guests come back to the same link, and when the venue details are settled you can update it without sending anything new.
What to include
- Your names
- The date
- The city, or the venue if it’s booked
- “Formal invitation to follow”
- Your wedding website, if you have one
- A photo, if you like
When to send it
Send save the dates six to eight months before a wedding, and eight to twelve months ahead for a destination wedding or a holiday weekend. Only send one to people who will definitely receive an invitation.

Questions, answered.
Do I need a save the date?
Not always. They matter most for destination weddings, holiday weekends and guests who need to travel. For a local wedding with a short engagement, a well-timed invitation can be enough.
Should everyone who gets a save the date be invited?
Yes. A save the date is a promise of an invitation, so only send one to guests you’re certain to invite.
Can I use a save the date for something other than a wedding?
Of course. Family reunions, milestone birthdays, big anniversary parties and company events all benefit from early notice.
