Weddings by definiton are planned to be one of the most merry times in life, but sometimes the active schedule and stress takes it’s toll. Every part of the day it appears like demands to be attended to by the bride; reception and music, decor and dress and what about the stationary? While most people don’t have a problem to recall the invitations and placecards, not all grooms and brides remember to send ” save the date” reminders.

Commonly this piece is mailed 6 to 12 months ahead of the wedding, and it can take numerous forms, from cards to emails to wedding save the date magnets.

The “save the date” piece helps with some great roles. First, it permits out of town guests to get a head start on their travel plans. They can arrange for time off of work, make childcare arrangements if required, and have plenty of time to make flight and hotel reservations while the rates are still low.

If out-of-town guests wait until the invitations are issued (normally 6 to 8 weeks before the event), then their opportunities of finding extraordinary rates fade rapidly. Mailing wedding save the date magnets is an critical courtesy for these reasons. Additionally, giving guests plenty of advance notice ensures that they will be able to attend the wedding. Most people lead fairly busy lives, and the sooner they can block out your special day, the better.

Save the date pieces come in numerous shapes and forms. Cards that match the invitations are fashionable, but they ordinarily end up stuck in a drawer somewhere. Some couples use email, but delivery and receipt is less than sure, and not everyone even uses email these days (think of grandparents and great grandparents).

Wedding save the date magnets are a good, fun way to announce the day. They normally get hung on the refrigerator and serve as a nonstop reminder of the special day. Save date photo magnets are best when kept simple; usually a picture, the date, and the town are enough to include. When mailed early enough, these wedding magnets make a great presentation to a fun wedding!
