Save The Date Wording Examples: 190 Ideas For Every Wedding Style & Situation

A save the date is often the first glimpse guests receive of your wedding day. It announces your wedding date, builds excitement and ensures friends and family reserve your special day in their calendars long before invitations are sent.

Whether you're planning an elegant black-tie wedding, a relaxed countryside celebration, a destination wedding abroad or a romantic garden wedding, choosing the right save the date wording can help set the tone for your entire wedding.

In this guide, you'll discover hundreds of save the date wording examples, etiquette tips and wording ideas to help you find the perfect message for your celebration.

What Is A Save The Date?

A save the date is a card, postcard, magnet or digital announcement sent before your wedding invitation.

Its purpose is simple:

• Inform guests of your wedding date

• Help guests plan ahead

• Allow guests to arrange travel and accommodation

• Build excitement before invitations are sent

Unlike a formal wedding invitation, a save the date does not need to include every detail about your wedding day.

The most important information is simply:

• Your names

• Wedding date

• Location (optional)

• A note that a formal invitation will follow

When Should You Send Save The Dates?

Most couples send save the dates:

Local Weddings

6–12 months before the wedding

Destination Weddings

9–18 months before the wedding

Peak Season Weddings

9–12 months before the wedding

Holiday Weekend Weddings

As early as possible

The earlier guests know about your wedding date, the easier it is for them to make arrangements.

What Should A Save The Date Include?

Most save the dates include:

✓ Couple's names

✓ Wedding date

✓ City or venue location

✓ Save The Date wording

✓ Invitation to follow

Optional additions include:

• Wedding website

• Accommodation information

• Travel information

• Engagement photo
