About save the date cards

Picked a date? Shout it from the rooftops. Save the date cards are your first move: a little teaser that gets the calendar blocked before the formal invite lands. Add an engagement photo (or go full photo for maximum drama), drop in your wedding website URL, and choose a paper and finish that hints at what's to come. Send them 6 to 8 months out, then watch the replies roll in.

Good to know

Choose a style in the Studio, upload your photo, and add names, date, and location. Keep the layout airy: the date should be unmistakable. Add your wedding site URL or QR code, pick paper and finish, and check every line before ordering.

What should I put on a save the date?

The essentials only: both names, the date, the town or city, and a line like 'formal invitation to follow.' Your wedding website URL is a smart addition: that's where travel details live.

When should I send them?

About 6 to 8 months before the wedding. Earlier if it's a destination wedding or most guests are traveling.

Can I use my own engagement photo?

Yes. Upload one photo or a collage. Full photo templates put your picture across the whole card.

Do save the dates need to match the invitations?

Not strictly, but matching them gives your suite a cohesive story from day one.

Can I include my wedding website?

Definitely. Add the URL or a QR code so guests can find travel and accommodation details.
