Wedding Forum - Should I make Save The Date Cards or not???...

I say make the Save the dates LauraB437 as its fun and creative and it puts a special touch on your wedding as you out the effort and time to make them so people are more likely to keep your Save the dates as keep sakes of your big day also make your invitation it''s great fun and rewarding at the same time I cannot wait to make mine Check out what Brilly and Velcro what they have made in her photo albums they are Crafting Queen's I think shall be looking at what they made for Inspiration plus look on you tube for step by step videos on how to craft I will be =D ♥ X

you don't have to if you do not want to its I'm doing them coz I can and have plenty of time to send them out for everyone to save this date for me Never heard of save the dates before till i joined UKbride so you do not have to do them its just to make sure all your guests know this is the date of your wedding and they need to book time of work and do not book a hilday at the time etc ... =D ♥ X

you dont reallyu have to if you dont want to, when were you thinking of sending the invites out? As logn as you give people enough notice, i really dont think you have to, unless you're having it midweek, then id say yes, and send them asap.

If youre worried about the cost you could text/email? They can be inexpensive though, mine are just going to be the cost of a few sheets of white card

U don't have to send them if u don't want,ur wedding is only nine months away so I'd just send ur invites out as soon as you've made them,I'm sending save the dates this month but only cos we've booked our wedding and it's next yr...this is so ppl don't book hols for our date next yr or in case any of our friends get engaged then they already know when our date is x

We are getting marriied 25th of october and about to make aand send save the date cards but we are only sending them because it is on a friday so gives everyone plenty of time to get time off work.if we had been gettiing married the sat or sun I don't think we would have sent them out. x

We only had 18 guests but we still sent STD's. We got married in August in Gretna though, so people had to book hotels, transport etc. Even with a wedding in October/November though, people will still have to plan and probably book time off work so they will probably be useful.

If you don't fancy making them - or if you fancy something different to just cards - vistaprint do some good ones. We ordered ours with them and bought larger magnets so people could put them on their fridges (no excuses to forget either lol).

Definitely personal choice. We didnt have STD's just word of mouth! xx

I don't think you need save the dates hun. And when you send the invites out would depend on how soon your venue needs you final numbers. Ours is 2 months before, so we will be sending them out 5ish months before hand xxx
