Tweet Save-the-date
cards are used as formal declarations for the
date of your event. These cards often serve as
the first official announcement of your wedding,
informing guests that they are invited.
You can think of save-the-dates as a
pre-invitation to your special day. Most
importantly, save-the-dates let your guests know
what date they should keep free well in advance
of the actual date. A set of ticket style
Save the Date magnets can help set the tone for
your wedding day as well. Customized
save-the-dates, usually involving a personal photo of the happy
couple have become an expected courtesy and a standard part of wedding
planning and preparation.
As a general rule in wedding planning,
save-the-dates are typically sent about six to
eight months before your wedding date. Sending
these save-the-dates increases the chance that
your guests can attend your wedding by allowing
them plenty of time to block off your wedding
weekend. They also provide your guests with adequate time for making travel arrangements and asking for time off from work
if necessary. Timing is critical, if your save-the-date
card or magnet is sent any later than six months in
advance, you might as well send out the wedding invitations; if you send the save-the-date any earlier than eight months,
you risk it get tossed aside as guests think
it’s too early to plan for an event so far in
the future.
When addressing save-the-dates, it’s good to be clear on who is invited to the wedding in advance. You should only send save-the-dates to the people you want
to attend your wedding. Include the actual names of each guest on your envelope, along with whether or not they can bring a guest; this cuts down on any confusion or assumed invites. Save-the-date cards should provide an adequate amount of time for families with kids to make child care arrangements and for people coming in from out of town to book their hotel rooms,
flights, and rental cars taking advantage of the
lower rates that come with advance planning. Even if some guests have already mailed you their RSVP, it is still polite to send them a save-the-date.

Our
save-the-date tickets are similar to our wedding
ticket invitations with a similar look printed
on full color card stock. The difference between
these and our wedding tickets invitations is
simply that these tickets are designed with the
save-the-date information. The wedding ticket
save-the-dates also come with a perforated stub
to fall in line with the admission ticket theme.
Our line of Sports Ticket Save-the-Dates can be
printed on full color card stock or on a
refrigerator magnet if preferred. A Save the
Date magnet is a clever and
fun way to help your guests remember to save
that day, so they are sure to attend. If
interested in pricing or looking to place an
order, be sure to indicate whether you prefer
your save-the-date printed on card stock or on a
magnet.
All of our save-the-dates are imprinted with a monogram
logo that's typically designed in the shape of a football, baseball, hockey puck,
or applicable sport ball. These monogrammed logos take the place of
the professional sports team logos that can’t be reproduced due to licensing
restrictions.
In order for our design team to make unique save-the-dates suited for you, there is certain information that we’ll need. This information includes the photograph that you want to use, your return address and
number of save-the-dates required. We also need to know whether you want your save-the-dates printed on refrigerator magnets or
on card stock. Be sure to order your save-the-dates far enough in advance so that you’re able to send them out between six and eight months before your big day.
Our process typically takes six weeks starting
the day you make the initial deposit. Feel
free to e-mail us for more details. Upon receiving your custom save-the-dates, all that's
left for you to do is to stuff envelopes, fill
out the address of each guest, attach postage
and then put them in the mail!
