We were doing save the dates, then we saw how much it was going to cost, going to diy, not really practical, then we started toying with the idea of setting up an event on Book of Face as 99% of our guests are on there. Something like; "Just a reminder, next July we're getting married, make sure you book your time off work. Formal invites to follow in 6-8 months"
Is this a good idea or is it a bit trashy and impersonal? Be honest ladies - like you're ever anything else ;) xxxx
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

Why not? I would make sure its a secret group though so others can't see it.

erm its really up to you hun, ive done my hen night on facebook but we did the save the dates ourselves. really wansnt too much hassle, just do a basic one on the comp and you can buy 50 white self gluing envelopes from asda for i think about 50p. at the end of the day its personal preference x

I think it's a lil impersonal but I don't see it being a problem for save the dates.... invites it wouldn't be good for but save the dates it's ok I think. We got 48 save the date magnets from ebay for £17 x
Now Mrs Cobb!!!!!! :-D

I like the idea, I would probably steal your idea...with your consent of course if most of my guests were on there...however theres probably around 20-30% on book of face for ours. Not trashy at all. xxx
I have a gorgeous husband!
2 brilliant wonderful boys, a wonderful life
in Cornwall. Happiest woman ever!
Now making our house a home. Blessing 2014.
or if not you get all their email addresses and send an 'e-save the date card' to everyone! still free but a bit more personal xx
CommentAuthorStevie_Dee
Hmm Dove has a point make sure its not viewable by everyone or you may get 1 or 2 unwanted guests. xx

i like this idea we did something similar on space of my.
CommentAuthorKesha
I think book of face is actually quite good, and not that impersonal because you can send messages directly to people and you have proof that 1. it has been sent and 2. that they have actually got it! lol. Youll get more responses too I bet.

I did save the date magnets and got 50 for £5.00 all personalised the way I wanted from Vistaprint! maybe that could be and idea?? x
CommentAuthorKimi
How about sending PM's of the Save The Date to all your Book of Face guests :)
The days are flying by, can't wait :)
CommentAuthorKimi
That means uninvited people won't feel miffed when they don't get an invite :)

Thanks for the input sweethearts :)
Normally making STDs wouldn't be a problem but this year everything's come at once so it's really not practical. Looked into the cheap STDs (Vistaprint etc) but then you've got postage to take into account and a fair few of our guests are international so it was going to cost a bomb - and with Honey starting school and needing kit for that then Squiggs due in October, Honey's birthday, Christmas..........well, better things to spend the dosh on ;) I appreciate it would have to be a secret event, half my list thinks they've got an invite and I'm like "Huh? I haven't spoken to you in over a year, me thinky not" I might just do it through a mass PM as I know most of them don't bother checking their emails.
We're doing our own website too Karlie - needs a bit of work doing on it though ;)
If anyone wants to hit me up on Book of Face I'm Kerrylou Greenwood, but you'll have to let me know it's you otherwise I'll be like "What? More randomers?" hehe xxx

i cant find you on the book of face kerrylou whats your email address? its easier to find people that way :) x
CommentAuthorKerrylou
Alsbetty - do you mean Wedding Book? If you do DON'T DO IT!! It's full of spoiled rich American kids who think that unless you have a designer fiance and mummy and daddy pay thousands for your wedding then your wedding is total trash :( Hideous breed of women that use that app. Has to be said though, I did meet some lovely ladies on there, but they were a rare breed!! xxx
pinkalice - not sure if I'm allowed to post my email addy here, I'll put it on your wall xxx

I've done this, made it private and invited all the people that I was definitely inviting, poped a funny pic on it of me and will and sent it. I have also posted things like pics of the venue, and links to the local hostel. Not only is it free, it also ethical :)

Thanks :) I'll add you later I'm on my phone at the mo x
