Step 3Save the date
Start with the Save the Date cards.
(Sorry I have no record of our save the date cards, so I included some external images, they're about the same thing)
They don't have to be anything extravagant. You're just letting people know "you better keep this date open or I'll murder you" ... nicely. (im kidding!)
Get some sticker sheets like the one below. This can be color themed or not.
(The color theme we chose was obviously green, purple and white)
Print your return address on this, as many times as you need.
If you buy your sticker sheets from avery, they provide special templates for you on their website.

Simply insert the number of your sticker sheet (it's on the front) and they should provide a template for you to use in Microsoft Word.
Write the simple information down:
Obviously you want the date, and which people are getting married
and simply inform them that a formal invitation should come sooner or later.
The reason why you would need a save the date sent is simple: you can't finish these invitations that fast, and you want to let people know as fast as possible that they should not plan for another event on this day as fast as you can, especially if they're from another planet, and need to buy plane/space ship fare as early as possible to get the lowest price.
Also you don't want them to go to any other wedding on that date. It's your freakin' day! ya got it?
good.
Emailed Save the Dates can work too, but are obviously less elegant.
Creating a website specifically for your wedding is effective as well, and can be made to your liking.
