• 1 – Don’t include registry info. This can seem a little pushy. Save registry info for the official invitations, whether your event is a wedding, shower, or any other gift-worthy event.
• 2 – Do exercise your creative side. Save the date postcards give you a little extra wiggle room creatively. If you’re sending wedding save the dates, let the couple shine. Get quirky. Be fun. Let your personality come out before things get more formal. Now is the time to get people excited while reminding them to mark their calendars.
• 3 – Do send them sooner rather than later. For destination weddings, try to send them at least 8 months in advance. For local weddings, aim for 4 months.
• 4 – Don’t go overboard. Save the dates are supposed to be simple. So, stick to what’s in your budget. 4OVER4.com offers cheap save the dates so you can stay on track financially—and save for the things that truly matter (like that massive chocolate cake).
• 5 – Do make the date prominent. Have fun with the language. Just be sure to make the date a focal point of the card.
