Save the date cards

Wedding Save the date cards from Greetings Island

Your Wedding Day is on the calendar! Now that you’ve circled a date in permanent ink, it’s time to spread the word. A lot of moving parts had to line up for you to choose your special day, and your guests will have similar challenges arranging time off and booking travel and lodging. Four to six months’ notice is the consensus for when you should send your save the date announcements, but add another month if yours is a destination wedding. The biggest save-the-date mistake to avoid? No one should receive a wedding announcement who will not also receive a wedding invitation.

Free save the date template options

You’ll find plenty of free DIY save the date templates in our gallery. Some couples set their style and colors with this first piece of wedding stationery, but it’s not considered necessary even in the most proper circles. It’s a great opportunity to share a couple of images, so we offer multiple add-a-photo designs that let you upload images from your computer or social media. Photo or not, you’ll find your style represented here, from fun to formal, classic, floral, traditional, rustic, or modern. Personalize your favorite digital card with your details, and you’re ready to send your completed project as an email or download the image or PDF. You can print your announcements on your home printer or take the file to a print shop for their assistance. Or share it online via SMS, WhatsApp & Facebook.
