Planning a destination wedding is a wonderful way to celebrate your love with your nearest and dearest in a truly special way. But before you can even think about booking flights and hotels, you need to let your guests know when and where the big day is taking place. That’s where a save-the-date comes in!
A save-the-date is essentially like an invitation teaser that gets sent out to guests before the official invitation.
This gives them time to plan, book flights and accommodation, as well as ask for time off work if necessary.
So what should you include in your save-the-date? Here are some suggestions:
- The date: Make sure to include the date of your wedding (or just the month if it’s not confirmed yet) so that everyone can block off their calendars!
- The location: Include not only the venue but also the city or country so that everyone knows exactly where they’ll be flying off to.
- A link: Create a website or registry where your guests can find more information about travel, accommodation and other details. Include this link in your save-the-date so they can easily access it.
- Accommodation options: If you are providing accommodation for your wedding party, make sure to mention this on the card. You can also provide links for nearby hotels if some of your guests want to make their own arrangements.
Conclusion:
A save-the-date for a destination wedding should include at least the date of the wedding, its location (city/country) and any additional information such as links for more information or hotel/accommodation options. Send out these cards well in advance so that everyone has plenty of time to make their arrangements!
