Do It Yourself With Style & Elegance

The Black & White Collection is really HOT these days. If your style is chic elegance, then you cant go wrong with Black & White as the colors for your special day. You can even add a accent color to give it some glam. To get your dream day started send out your Save-the-Dates at least 6-9 months in advance if not earlier.

Although Save-the-Dates are not absolutely necessary, the cards have increased in popularity with the rise of destination weddings and modern guest lists. Since they are a relatively modern concept, no real rules apply - a fact which sometimes causes confusion for brides when planning their wedding stationery.

Who Needs Save-the-Date Cards?

If your guest list includes a number of out-of-towners or if your wedding takes place during a holiday or other peak time, you are a prime candidate for save-the-dates. Since invitations don’t go out until 6-8 weeks before the big day, save-the-dates are the perfect way to give wedding guests a preliminary heads up so they can begin making travel arrangements. Your Save-the- Dates will be the first impression of your wedding festivities, so take advantage of this opportunity to build excitement amongst your wedding guests.

In any case have fun with your Save-the-Dates and let it represent you & your fiance personality. The content of your Save-the-Dates should be short, sweet, and to the point - providing a basic who, what, where, and when. There is no standard wording; they can be as formal or as whimsical as you’d like. *Make sure to include “Formal invitation to follow” somewhere on the card.
