SAVE THE DATE
Save the Date — Ideas, Wording and Best Practices
The Save the Date is the first official message your guests receive — even before the actual invitation. It locks the date into their calendars and sets the tone for the wedding. Here's how to do it elegantly and without extra effort.

Process
Four steps from request to quotes
01
Finalize the date and venue
A Save the Date shouldn't change — book the venue first.
02
Choose a style and photo
An engagement photo or a graphic design that matches your vision.
03
Write short copy
Names, date, city, a promise of a formal invitation. That's it.
04
Send 6-9 months ahead
Via messaging app, SMS or email — with a link to your wedding website.

Frequently asked questions
save the date ideas — the essentials
When should I send a Save the Date?
6-9 months before the wedding for local guests. 10-12 months for destination or international guests.
What text should I write?
"Maria and Ivan — June 15, 2027, Sofia. Formal invitation to follow." — that's enough.
Is it mandatory?
No — but for weddings with 80+ guests or in peak season it's strongly recommended.
Can I make an online save-the-date?
Yes — it's included with the custom wedding website. You send a link instead of a paper card.
