When To Send Save The Date Cards
Wedding etiquette recommends sending out save the date cards a few months in advance to allow your family and friends plenty of time to reserve the specific day on their calendar.
If you have guests that are coming in from out of town or aboard, you will need to give them ample time to request time off work, and to make travel arrangements, and to book tickets and a hotel room.
Three to four months prior to your wedding date is the wedding etiquette recommendation for local nuptials. For a destination wedding, six months to a full calendar year is the required notice period.
And don’t forget: if you’ve sent a guest a save the date card, requesting them to block off their calendar for your big day, you are committed to following through by sending them a personalised wedding invitation to the main event.
