Sending out save the dates for a destination wedding is an important step in making sure all of your guests are able to attend your special day. It also helps to ensure that everyone has enough time to plan their trip and book any necessary travel arrangements. But when should you send out these save the dates?
The timing of when you should send out save the dates for a destination wedding can be tricky. Generally, it is recommended that you send them out at least 6-9 months before the wedding date.
This will give your guests plenty of time to make any necessary travel plans and book their accommodations. It’s also important to note that if your guests are travelling from overseas or from other parts of the world, they may need even more time to arrange their trip.
When sending out save the dates for a destination wedding, it’s important to include all relevant information about the wedding, such as:
- Date and time
- Location
- Accommodation options
- Travel tips and recommendations
It’s also important to indicate whether or not you will be providing transportation from the airport/train station/bus station/etc. Additionally, some couples choose to provide a “welcome bag” with local treats/snacks/activities/etc. which can be sent along with the save the date cards.

Save The Dates for a Destination Wedding should typically be sent out 6-9 months before your special day, so that everyone has plenty of time to make travel arrangements and plan for their trip.
