“Save-the-Date” cards are a great way to help your wedding guests plan ahead, show off your new fiancée and start working on your wedding guest list. Now a part of many wedding prep list’s, its common to send them out between 6 to 8 months ahead of time. Newly engaged Alicia Thompson says, “They are very important. But they should be quick and don’t need to be fancy. It’s a low key announcement.”
There are many different forms of Save-the-Date announcements, including Traditional Flat Photo Cards, Traditional Photos and Refrigerator Magnets.
