Since so many people are   getting engaged this time of year, we wanted to share some save the date card etiquette and some of the newest save the date cards from Wedding Paper Divas.

After you are engaged, one exciting step along the wedding planning   process is your engagement photo session. It is great to have an   engagement photo shoot because it allows you to get to know your   photographer better, bask in all your love, and the photos are perfect  for a photo save the date card or save the date magnet.
After you are engaged and have shared the news with your close   friends and family it is time to send out your save the dates. These are    sent out in advance to notify for your guests of the upcoming wedding    and give them time to make travel plans, especially if you are planning a   destination wedding or holding the wedding on a holiday weekend.
You should send your save the date cards around 6 months before your    wedding and if it is a destination wedding around 8 months prior to the   wedding.
Since you are sending the save the date before the wedding invitation   you have the opportunity to be fun and informal, even if your wedding   is going to be a formal event. This is the chance to show your true   personality and creativity and have some fun along the way!
The most important thing to remember about a save the date card is  that it shows your guests they will also be receiving a wedding   invitation and will be invited at a later date. Etiquette states you   cannot send a save the date card to someone and then not invite them to   the wedding. Make sure you have time to work on your guest list before    sending out these cards so no one will need to be “uninvited.” If you    are not completely sure who will be on your guest list you can send your   save the date cards to only your very close friends and family that   will be attending for sure and later on send the wedding invitations to   the other guests. This will ensure you are not committing yourself to   any but your most important guests.
