Hey,

 

So I know this will probably sound funny but I know some in my family are going to be confused by the whole "Save the Date" Card. And probably 99% of them will have never heard of it before.

We plan on sending out our Save the Dates in June sometime, for our wedding next October. I know some family members are going to be a little confused as to what a Save the Date card is.

 

So my question is, has anyone sent a little explanation card explaining what the purpose or what exactly is a Save the date Card? And thats it's not the actual invite. (I know some are going to think it is the invite...)

 

Silly I know, but I know it's going to arise in my family lol

 

Thanks!!

Hi Crystal, Just noticed you are from Whitby, I live in Oshawa we are neighbours.

 

When I finally send out my save the dates I am going to put on them formal invites to follow. STD is kind of a heads up of when the wedding and where the wedding is going to take place and gives them time to save to be able to attend

Oh wow, we just moved from Oshawa to Whitby in March lol

 

I know the purpose of the Save the Date, but I was afraid it would cause some confusion with the let's say "older" people my family who aren't too familiar with what it might be.

I was going to put on them, Invites to follow. So I guess that's good enough.

I always thought they were pretty self-explanatory, until my husband gave me a hard time about our invites cuz he thought the STD's WERE our invites! So now, I understand that sometimes people just don't know.

 

But I wouldn't send an explanation. You might want to also consider sending them a little earlier then June. Only b/c it's a DW, you want to make sure that people have enough time to make the necessary plans/save enough money to attend. I don't know why I think this, but I think 6 months is a good distance of time.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
