Save-the-date announcements are a great way to inform guests of important events, such as weddings, graduations, and retirement parties. They allow guests to plan ahead and can be simple or elaborate. There is no set time frame for sending them and they can be ordered online or from a local store.
If you’re getting married and want to alert your guests to your wedding date, you might want to consider sending them bailout announcements. The beauty of date saver announcements is that you can notify your guests of your wedding date long before the invitations are sent out. These handy cards let guests know they’ll be invited to the wedding and allow them to mark their calendars accordingly.
Save-the-date announcements are especially useful for guests who will be traveling from out of town. By learning the wedding date in advance, they can book a room or arrange travel when it is most convenient to do so. For example, if a particular airline offers a discount to those who book six months in advance, they will be able to make plans within the appropriate time frame.
Save-the-date cards aren’t just used for weddings. They’re useful for graduations, communions, confirmations, retirement parties, and bar mitzvahs, just to name a few. Use them to announce any important event in your life. You’ll find save-the-date cards in the same place you would buy invitations. In fact, if you choose your invitations early enough, you can have rescue announcements printed on the same stock using the same template.
Save the date announcements don’t have to be fancy and there are no special words involved. Basically, they can be anything from business card-sized notes to elaborately printed stationery. The words ‘Save the Date’ are printed at the top and pertinent details are outlined below. A sample might read:
Save the Date
John Smith and Jane Doe are pleased to announce their wedding date as July 21, 2008.
Save-the-date announcements can be as simple as words printed on a plain or colored background, or they can be elaborately engraved postcards. Unlike wedding invitations, there is no real etiquette involved. The wording doesn’t have to be in any particular order, and it’s even acceptable to use computer-generated labels for envelopes.
There is no set time frame for submitting save dates. If you set your wedding date a year and a half in advance, send the postcards then. Most people like to send them within six months to a year before the wedding. Save-the-date announcements can be ordered from your local invitation store or print shop and can also be found online. In most cases, you will have them within two weeks of placing your order.
Your guests are sure to appreciate receiving save-the-date tickets to your special event. In these busy times, the sooner we can plan, the better.
