This Love Letter Save the Date Card is a perfect save the date to mail to family and friends to share with them your proposal, photos of the happy couple and the date of your big day! While, Save the Date cards are certainly not required, they have become very popular in recent years. They are especially helpful if you’re inviting a lot of out-of-town guests or planning a destination wedding, and they are sent to everyone on your guest list about six months in advance of the wedding. Even if you’re not getting married in Bora Bora, save the dates can be used to accomplish several things:

• communicate the date and location of your upcoming wedding
• serve as an engagement announcement for those not in-the-know
• break the ice with relatives who haven’t met the bride or groom
• allow time to make travel plans for out-of-town guests or if you’re having a destination wedding
• tell the story of your engagement or how you met
• let you share those beautiful engagement photos
• get friends and relatives excited about your wedding

Of all those reasons, getting everyone excited about your wedding is probably the main thing to keep in mind when choosing save the date cards. This event is all about you as a couple, and the more you share about yourselves in your save the dates, the more welcome your friends and relatives will feel at your wedding. These cards will be forever remembered by loved ones, as the story itself will be forever remembered by you.
