Why the Save the Date Matters
Your wedding save the date is the first official piece of stationery many guests will receive. It gives loved ones time to mark their calendars, plan travel, request time off, and get excited for your celebration.
A well-designed save the date also sets the tone for your wedding style, especially when it includes your colors, photos, venue feel, or overall theme.
When Should You Order Save the Date Cards?
Your save the date cards do not take months to produce, but it is still smart to order them at least 1–2 months before you want guests to receive them. Design usually takes 1–2 business days, printing typically takes 2–3 business days after proof approval, and shipping time depends on the shipping method selected at checkout.
The extra time gives you room to review your proof, make any edits, receive your cards, collect addresses, address envelopes, and mail everything without feeling rushed.
If you are using engagement photos, you can choose your design and prepare your wording first, then add your final photo once it is ready.
When Should You Send Save the Dates?
Most couples send save the dates 6–8 months before the wedding. For destination weddings, holiday weddings, or celebrations with many out-of-town guests, sending them 8–12 months ahead gives guests more time to plan travel and accommodations.
If your wedding is coming up sooner, a printed save the date can still be useful when paired with a clear wedding website and a follow-up invitation.

-
Clean and well-spaced
-
Easy for guests to read
