A great Save the Date card serves not only as a way to let guests know to keep that day reserved for your wedding, but also as a way to communicate other important information such as travel arrangements and accommodation info. Your Save the Date should have all the important details your guests will need to prepare for your wedding. Creating your Save the Date card is one of the first printing jobs you’ll have, so here are some useful tips for the design and content to get you started on the right track!

Actually use the words, “Save the Date” Yup, crazy as it seems, actually use the words “Save the Date” or “Reserve the Date” on the front of your card. Lots of people mistake Save the Date cards as invitations, so be sure to also put on there, “invitation to follow” or “formal invitation to follow.”

If you have a wedding Web site, here’s the place for it - Your Save the Date is a perfectly appropriate place to let people know about your personalized wedding Web site, not on your invitation.
