What are Save the dates for?

If you just got engaged the first question that you have received as soon as you announce (I am engaged) the response is usually something like “Congratulations, when is the big day”

Those first few moments when you said yes to the love of your life, now telling the world- the response is when is the big day going to be.

People are wanting to know your wedding date so they can “save” plan on your big day.

Hence the Save the date cards were made for your stressful pleasure. At times Wedding “traditions” seem to be overwhelming but save the date can be fun and funny, it also can be an evite or an email saying. Coming soon in 2018 I am getting married, you will know soon. Be prepared.

Martha Sterwart and many many websites have dedicated “millions ” to sell you any type of pinterest or etsy card to send to your people.

The whole purpose of the Save the dates, to let people know your wedding will be taken place on such and such date.
