We're sending our save the dates out this week because the travel agent we're going through wants everybody to have their $25 deposit in by August 11th. She's holding a block of rooms but since we're getting married during a peak vacation time, she can't hold them very long. People can still book after that, but the price may go up. We're sending magnets that say "save the date," our names, the cruise dates, the cruise line and our website. My TA gave me payment cards so I'm going to include a brochure explaining the wedding, the cruise, and the pricing and payment plans.
