Date Cards
Top Five Reasons You Need a Save the Date Card
One of the most forgotten elements of any wedding is the save the date card. In fact, some couples choose not to send them at all. If you want to give your guests a save the date card, you can send them with your invitations or you can choose to send them separately after your guests have replied. It is always a good idea to send your guests a save the date card. Here are the top five reasons why save the date cards make sense.
#1 – Some guests really could forget your wedding if you do not remind them.
It is not meant to offend you, and it does not mean that you friends and family members do not care about you. Sometimes, life just gets in the way and people need to be reminded of your wedding. With a save the date card, your guests, even those that are very forgetful can attach the card to their date book or hang the card on the refrigerator. You invited your guests with the hopes that they can attend your celebration. Although you have spent the past several weeks or months thinking about your wedding, they have had to deal with other events in life. If you want them to come, send them a reminder.
#2 – You can avoid fielding phone calls about date, location, and time.
While your friends and family members may not forget about your wedding, they may not remember the exact time or location, or they may be confused about the day. During the few weeks before your wedding, you have hundreds of little details to worry about. Do you really want phone calls from everyone you know asking for the details, forcing you to give out your information over and over and over again? Instead, a save the date card can provide your guests with the necessary information, and this can save you time and aggravation.
#3 – When people are planning their own events, they can refer to your save the date card.
The date of your wedding should be the most important day in your life, but this is not always the top priority for your guests. Sometimes, your guests might be planning weddings of their own! By giving out save the date cards, you can make sure that there is no confusion about your big day. This is a gentle way to remind people not to plan their events on the same day as yours. Without a save the date card, they might forget and make plans they cannot change.
#4 – People can carry a save the date card with them.
Wedding invitations are often bulky, and it is unrealistic to expect someone to carry around your invitation. However, if someone is on the go and often making plans, it is important to have a way to quickly check a date. When you send a save the date card, they can take that with them to plan their coming weeks appropriately. Match your save the date card to the style of your wedding (formal, rustic, casual, etc), and you will also be reminding your guests about what they should wear to your wedding. Your guests can carry the card with them when they go shopping as a small reminder. This is important because plans may come up out of nowhere and it can help them plan accordingly if they have the date of your wedding with them. Another benefit of carrying around your Wedding Date is that they can be prepared if somebody asks them about the wedding celebration.
#5 – A save the date card says that you care.
Above all else, save the date cards provide a polite way to inform your guests about the date of the wedding. By sending your guest a save the date card, you show them that you care and really want them at your wedding. Save the date cards are traditional, polite, and thoughtful.
Not every wedding needs a save the date card. Sometimes, if your wedding is very low budget or planned extremely quickly, you do not need a save the date card. You may not need a save the date card if you have a very small close-knit guest list or are planning a reception after a civil ceremony. In most cases, however, a save the date card can really help your guests remember your wedding. Although your life has been revolving around the date for a long time, others need a reminder. If you want your friends at your wedding, send them save the date cards!
When you are planning your wedding take these five reasons for using a save the date card into consideration. There are many benefits to this type of stationery and you can simply send them with your wedding invitation or mail them closer to the ceremony as a reminder.
