What to put on your save the date

Keep it short. A save the date is a friendly heads-up, not the full invitation.

  • Both of your names
  • The wedding date, written out (like June 14, 2026) so no one mixes up the day and month
  • The city and state, or the country for a destination wedding
  • “Invitation to follow,” so guests know a formal invite is coming
  • Your wedding website, if you have one

When to send save the dates

Most couples send save the dates six to eight months before the wedding. For a destination wedding or a holiday weekend, eight to twelve months gives guests time to plan travel and book time off. A digital save the date takes minutes to send, so you can share yours as soon as your date and city are set.
