What is a save the date invitation?
A save the date is something you send before your event invitation. It's basically a heads-up to let guests know when the event will be so they can prepare adequately. Save the date invitations give guests ample time to make travel arrangements, get time off from work, and ensure they do not double-book your selected date.
How far in advance should you send out save the date invitations?
When you want to send save the dates for your event will vary based on what kind of event it is. For more formal events (like a wedding), couples send out invitations between 8 and 12 months before the date. If your event is at a destination location, you should even consider sending out save the date invitations further in advance, as these are more of a commitment and may require more planning from your guests. The same goes for events that land on holidays — while you don't need to necessarily send a year in advance for these, make sure to give ample time so people don't make other plans! For more casual events like parties, a few weeks should do.
What do you say on a save the date invitation?
Ahh, the fun part! Your save the date online invitation should include important information about the upcoming event, such as the host's name, the date and location, and other necessary details that guests or participants should know (is there a dress code? do they need to bring anything? should they come prepared to dance?). With Evite, you can send Save the Dates for weddings, parties, business events, birthdays, and baby showers.
