Yes, even to those friends and family members who you\u2019re already sure will attend. On the other hand, if you\u2019re not 100% positive you\u2019ll be inviting a certain someone (or couple), then by all means, skip the save-the-date. And there\u2019s really no reason to splash out for save-the-dates when all your guests live in town \u2026 or your wedding\u2019s during a time frame where everyone has a clear schedule anyway.<\/p>\n<h2>Planning and Sending<\/h2>\n<p>Once you have all your wedding plan basics in hand, place your order with your stationer. Custom-printed cards can take up to three weeks, so give your stationer plenty of time. When to mail them out? About six months before the wedding date. You can order save-the-date cards to match the rest of your wedding stationery, or go with a completely different look. But if your wedding follows a theme, you might want to hint at that with the very first piece of paper.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44763\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-44763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"570\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/1a1e67dc20197b5a3095dfa74ea8c776-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/noscript> Etsy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Getting Your Guests\u2019 Attention<\/h2>\n<p>Some brides-to-be really want these cards to be eye-catching: not least, so that busy guests will pick them out from the junk mail!
