When do you send out wedding save the dates?
One of the most important parts of your wedding timeline is figuring out when to send save the dates. Assuming you aren't eloping to Vegas with 24 hours' notice, save the dates should go out to your guest list four to six months before your ceremony. For destination weddings, weddings over holiday weekends, or any weekend that would require difficult travel, send as close to the six-month mark as possible if not even sooner than that. This timeline might seem conservative, but keep in mind that you won't have to have your major details set in stone just yet. All you need to share your save the date invitations is your date and the general location.
And since you're sending online through Paperless Post, you can give yourself a little wiggle room—the Postal Service won't delay your delivery, so you can be sure your wedding guests won't be caught unaware. Don't wait and design both the save the date and the invitation at the same time. long as they give off the same general feel of the wedding, the two don't need to match exactly.
Do people RSVP to save the dates?
Typically, save the dates will not include an RSVP functionality—but Paperless Post will automatically track opens, so you can tell who has and hasn’t viewed your save the date. Your wedding invitations will be the official time in which your guests can RSVP and choose their dining preferences as well as information on the ‘plus-ones’ they may be bringing to the function.
