Your wedding save-the-date wording doesn't have to be anything exceptionally formal. Something like "Save the Date: [bride's and groom's names] are tying the knot on [your wedding date] in [the city where you'll marry]" is sufficient. This way, guests know what to expect, and they'll get in touch with you if they have questions. Some people include a short poem or a favorite quote if there's room. This is the time to be less formal, so feel free to get creative. Just make sure that everyone who gets this card will definitely be on your final wedding guest list: Once you tell someone to save your wedding date, there's no turning back. Be sure to include "Formal invitation to follow" at the bottom of your save-the-date card and guests will know there's more to come. Here are a few examples of how people announce their wedding:
- Formal Notice
Jack and JillFormal invitation to follow
- Fun & Flirty
He proposed ... she said "Yes!"
Jack + JillFormal invitation to follow
- Totally Carefree
We're taking the plunge!
