Save the dates???

[Pickle0]

Who do you give them to? 1 year to go and we have now given all of our full day guests a save the date. I know it’s probablt all down to personal preference but should they be given to evening guests too? One of my fears is that no one will turn up, in which case a save the date would be a good idea?

We’re just thinking about what form ‘save the dates’ should take for our daughter. Once agreed she’ll send them to all guests as well not separate them into day or evening- everybody will be invited for the full event.

They are sent to full day guests only. However some bride and grooms now send a save the evening date.

We had the same thread a while ago...
If people get save the dates they will assume they're invited to the whole lot.

Only day, if evening guests get them they'll think they're invited to day.

Although, I personally wouldn't send any, people not being able to go is great for cost saving and cutting down the numbers!!!!

As a guest I find them a pain in the arse. They generally have only the date on very occasionally the venue.
We've had two recently and not sure if they are for me and DH or the kids as well, if we are day or evening, will we have to travel the night before or can we travel on the day.
I'm not saving the date until I know more info!

You send them to the subset of guests who you wouid really miss if they couldn't come.

You don't need to buy special stationery or use stamps, just tell them the date next time you're in touch.

Even if you decide to use them more extensively, they should only be sent to those who you are inviting to the actual wedding and reception.
