WHY SENDING SAVE THE DATES TO YOUR GUESTS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA.

A question we get asked so often here at Letter and Lime Design is, “Are Save The Dates really necessary?”. It’s hard for couples to understand the need for this stationery, when they’ll be sending out invites to their guests a few months later. However, in my experience, Save The Dates are a great asset to your wedding stationary! Give us a few moments of your time, and we can break it down for you.

GIVE YOUR GUESTS THE HEADS UP

The world is getting busier and busier and I’m sure you all know, as soon as adulthood catches up with us, even seeing our friends for a coffee and a walk can be a difficult task! Wedding invites often don’t get sent out to guests until a couple of months before the big day. (Do you see where we’re going here?) By sending out a Save The Date, you’re allowing your guests the time to book off work, organise childcare if needed, and make sure they turn down any other commitments they may be asked to attend! It’s important you have your nearest and dearest there with you as you start this exciting new journey, and a Save The Date can guarantee just that.

 ALLOW TIME FOR TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS

You might have guests currently living overseas, or maybe they live at the other side of the country! By sending a Save The Date, you’ll give them the opportunity to book flights and accommodation well in advance. This not only guarantees availability for hotels and flights, but also gives your guests more time to budget and save. Your friends and family will always thank you for the extra time to plan, and it leaves the entire process less stressful for everyone!

SAVE THE DATES CAN HELP YOUR PLANNING

Okay so maybe you have a few guests on your list currently that you’re not totally sure will actually attend on the day. By sending your Save The Dates well in advance, you’ll have a much more accurate representation of the numbers you need to plan for when it comes to food, space and the smaller details like favours and place names. A simple way of reducing stress and running things smoothly.

 GET THE EXCITEMENT BALL ROLLING

 Weddings are about celebrating love, gathering with the people you care about and having so much fun. Why not start preparing your guests for a party they’ll never forget with a unique and engaging Save The Date? We have had some amazing ideas from past clients to inject some personality into their stationery. We even had a wonderful couple, Loretta and Conor, create some beautiful magnets for their guests!

Save The Dates are a fantastic way to create a bit of excitement and let your guests in on the fun and joy that’s to come.

If you have decided to have a theme, you can also use your Save The Dates to introduce this to your guests. 1920s themed? Get out the art deco font! Getting married at Christmas? Introduce some mistletoe! Or do you have an engagement/ pre wedding photoshoot planned with your photographer?? Use those images for your Save The Date! The possibilities are endless.
