Save the date cards

View quoted message Im basically having a semi destination wedding for friends and family coming from Australia to Canada. The immediate family on my fiances side will of course be there, but his friends whom have just had weddings and kids of their own , Is 16 months, a good span of notice? I mean i dont even know if I can extend the invite to kids as is let alone people travelling across the world! Ha ! all for love and love for all!

We are not doing Save the Dates, Saves money this way too. I have seen people do evite ones to save money with a picture of the 2 of them. We are just sending out our wedding invitations earlier. Wedding is in August and we are sending our invitations in February.

View quoted message Yeah sooner they know the better! Ill get them made up asap!

I'm sending my save the dates as soon as I book a date and venue. I'm in the same boat, where all my family lives in England as that's where I moved from. Even though they'll have two years warning, it's such an expensive trip that even then most people won't be able to come.

We sent out our save the dates shortly after we got engaged; although our engagement is 9 months. We had our venue and date before we were engaged, but we weren't telling anyone. I hinted to my long distance family and friends back in August that there would be a reason to travel to Alberta next summer.

We e-mailed our save the dates to everyone at the same time. That way, we knew it was done and we didn't have to send out a second batch later.

View quoted message We just sent everyone a save the date e-mail. Much more cost efficient and timely delivery.

I sent out save the dayes about 1 year in advance , but i do t see why your couldnt send them earlier to out of town guests if you already have your date
We sent our save the dates all through email to save some money and i think it was pretty well recieved. And we have some guests we are still on the fence about so we just didnt send them save the dates, but will send invitation if we decide to include them.

View quoted message Im just wondering, for financial reasons, to send out the 15 or so save the dates to out out of country guests only and verbalize it to in country family, or if that would be unfair?

We sent out our save the dates to everyone at the same time including those who lived in other countries. Due to having people living far away we sent them out a bit earlier than most people would be and we were also having a short engagement (9 months). I think if you feel that you should send them sooner than I would do that.
