From a casual beach wedding to a formal black-tie event or a boho-inspired ceremony, the style of your save-the-date helps you give friends and family members a first sneak peek at what’s to come. You can also select your design based on the time of year or the location.


    To add a personalized touch, the independent sellers on Etsy can design a customized save-the-date to help you send a unique announcement that reflects your personality as a couple. Decide if you want printed or digital cards, and if you want to DIY your save-the-date cards, buy ready-made styles—or order them custom-made just for you.

    Consider a style that includes fun extras like your favorite engagement photos, or opt for downloadable wedding templates that you can use to create and print your own DIY design.

    This special wedding stationery item lets your friends and family members know you’re planning to exchange vows, giving people ample heads-up to prepare for your wedding before receiving the official invitation. Here’s some information to include in your save-the-dates:


    • Official wedding date: The most important part of these creatively made cards is the actual date of the wedding so everyone knows to mark their calendars and plan ahead.
    • Location: If you already have the wedding venue secured, go ahead and include this information. If not, feel free to add wording like “location to be announced” or “coming soon” if you haven’t decided yet.
    • Destination weddings: For couples planning a destination wedding, it’s important to inform your guests well in advance. Shop for destination wedding save-the-dates on Etsy to give guests plenty of time to plan their travels.
    • Wedding website: Include your wedding website if you’ve already set one up. The site can include things like links to your registry, new updates, and more detailed information about the venue or timeframe as things progress.


    So, when do you send save-the-dates for the wedding? These announcements typically go out between six to 12 months before the actual wedding date, but you can choose to send yours whenever it’s most convenient for you.
