Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular, as couples look to create a unique and memorable experience for their guests. If you’re considering a destination wedding, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is when to send out your save the date cards. Here are some tips on when to send them and what to include.
When to send save the date for destination wedding?
The general rule of thumb is to send your save the date cards six to eight months in advance of your wedding date. This will give your guests plenty of time to clear their schedules and make travel arrangements. If you’re getting married during a popular travel season (like summer or winter break), you may want to send them out even earlier, eight to ten months in advance.
When it comes to what to include on your save the date card, the most important thing is the date and location of the wedding. You can also include a brief message, such as “save the date for our destination wedding!” If you have a website or social media page for your wedding, you can include the URL on the save the date.
If you’re sending out digital save the dates, there are even more options for what to include. In addition to the date and location, you can add photos, a map of the area, accommodation information, and links to your wedding website or social media page. You can also include a RSVP link so that your guests can let you know whether they’ll be able to attend.
When it comes to deciding when to send out your save the date cards, the most important thing is to give your guests plenty of time to make travel arrangements. If you’re getting married during a popular travel season, you may want to send them out even earlier. With a little planning, you can ensure that your guests will be able to attend your destination wedding.
Do you send save the dates to evening guests?
Yes, you should send save the dates to all of your guests, even those who you know can’t attend. It’s a nice way to let them know that they’re still invited and included in the celebrations. Plus, it gives them plenty of time to make travel arrangements if they do decide to come.
When to send save the dates during COVID?
The current pandemic has changed the landscape of weddings and events, and couples are having to make some tough decisions about their plans. If you’re planning a destination wedding during the COVID pandemic, you may be wondering if you should even send save the dates. The answer is that it depends on your particular situation.
If you’re planning a wedding that is more than six months away, it’s generally safe to send out save the dates. However, if your wedding is within the next six months, you may want to wait until closer to the date to send them out. This will give you a better idea of what the situation with the pandemic will be closer to your wedding date, and it will also give your guests more time to make travel arrangements.
If you do decide to send out save the dates for a destination wedding during COVID, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
- First, be sure to include information about the current pandemic and its potential impact on travel.
- You should also include information about any changes to your wedding plans that have been made due to the pandemic.
- Finally, be sure to let your guests know that they should contact you if they have any questions or concerns about attending your wedding.

FAQ
The recommended rule is to invite your friends and relatives to be bridesmaids between a year and eight months before your wedding. That will give them plenty of time to arrange the bachelorette party and purchase their gowns. They might not be able to make the commitment if they have any less time.
There’s no going back once your save-the-dates arrive in the mail. So only send them to the people you know will be there. (Even those who have verbally confirmed their attendance, such as your bridesmaids and family members.)
