In addition, these cards are easy to create, allowing you to send them out as soon as you confirm the date and <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-choose-wedding-venue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">location of your big day<\/a>. While save the date wording is fairly straightforward, there is simple etiquette to follow as you write them and address your envelopes.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Keep it short.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59226\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2019-05-02-at-9.41.10-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"632\" height=\"636\"><br>Your save the dates should be to-the-point cards that answer the who, where, and when of your wedding (we already know the why!) If you have a <a href=\"\/blog\/wedding-website-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wedding website<\/a>, include the link for those that would like to dive into the specifics ASAP.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Consider what actions you want the save-the-date to prompt.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When guests receive your card, the actions you likely want them to take include confirming they\u2019re available on your wedding date, inserting your wedding info into their calendar, and beginning to consider what they need to do to prep for the celebration. So, make sure the information on your cards will be a catalyst for these activities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Let recipients know an invitation will follow. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ensure guests don\u2019t confuse the save-the-date for your <a href=\"\/blog\/wedding-invitation-wording\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official invite<\/a> by making a note at the bottom of the card that the invitation will follow.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Optional extras.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59228\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/devin-jeff1-1024x819-1-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\"><br>Beyond the wedding website, you can add other extras such as an <a href=\"\/blog\/what-to-wear-in-engagement-pictures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">engagement photo<\/a>, poem, favorite quote or other features that expresses your personality. However, resist the temptation to add too much, as this can clutter the card.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Traditional Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Please save the date<br>to celebrate the marriage of<br>George Miller and Kelly Brown<br>September 20, 2019<br>Austin, Texas<br>https:\/\/withjoy.com\/GeorgeLovesKelly<br>Formal invitation will follow<\/p>\n<p>Save the Date<br>Brady Jones and Lizzy Wilson<br>request your presence at their wedding<br>on Saturday, June Twenty-Sixth<br>Two Thousand Nineteen<br>At the Plaza Hotel in New York, New York<br>Formal invitation to come<\/p>\n<h3><strong> Informal Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Save the date because\u2026<br>Holly Smith and Connor Williams<br>are getting married in San Francisco!<br>May 25, 2019<br>https:\/\/withjoy.com\/HollyandConnor<br>Formal invitation to follow<\/p>\n<p>Save the Date!<br>Yvonne and Neal are getting hitched<br>in Miami, Florida<br>May 25, 2019<br>Invitation to follow<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Modern Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s finally happening!<br>Josh and Kyle are taking the plunge.<br>Save the date: 9.18.18<br>San Diego, California<br>Keep an eye out for your formal invitation<\/p>\n<p>Dan proposed\u2026<br>Elizabeth said yes!<br>Join us on November 30, 2018<br>as we tie the knot<br>in Portland, Oregon<br>Invitation to follow<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Address Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59229\" src=\"https:\/\/rehearsaluploads.withjoy.com\/uploads\/uploads\/kira-auf-der-heide-475773-unsplash-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Formal Wording:<\/strong><br>Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Lewis<br>555 Cedar Avenue<br>Buda, TX 78734<\/p>\n<p><strong>Informal Wording:<\/strong><br>Sam and Cathy Lewis<br>555 Cedar Avenue<br>Buda, TX 78734<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Save-the-Date Tips:<\/h2>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sending save the dates to your potential wedding guests will provide the information they need to determine whether or not they can attend.
