• Keep it clear. Include who, what, where, and when, plus a note that the formal invitation will follow.
• Send out your save the dates four to six months in advance. You want to give people time to plan.
• Address a save the date postcard to everyone you want to invite. If you are using a formal save the date, you’ll want to include honorifics (like Mr., Mrs., and Ms.).
• Have fun, but be sure to include everything a guest will need to know.
• Don’t go overboard. A save the date is a precursor to an invitation, so you don’t need to add all the details.
• Sending a save the date through email can work for many occasions. However, when it comes to weddings, it is best to mail or hand them in person.
• While wording is important, you’ll want to think about imagery too. This allows everything on your save the date to flow seamlessly.

Creating a save the date can offer you some fun creativity for your party. Since there isn’t as much information, you can really have fun with it. When you are creating your save the dates, it is important to remember how to formally write the date.
