Are STD's really necessary?


Recommended Posts

I think it really depends on how much notice you're giving your guests.

 

STD's are certainly not a necessity, but I think many people send them out as a way to give people a "heads up" or a nice reminder, especially when the wedding is say...about 6+ months away. I think the logic behind it is because most people begin planning vacations or big trips several months in advance, but they don't usually firm things up until later. It's also a nice way to tell people to start saving up the $$$$ wink.gif

 

It's perfectly feasible to just send out an official invite that serves the same purpose. But I guess sometimes people tend to lose wedding invites or they forget about a wedding date when it's too far in advance.

 

Sending out a STD, and then a wedding invite gives you an extra opportunity to "alert" or remind your guests of the wedding. Doing both is not necessary ~ but it does make it more fun bunny_4.gif

STDs are not necessary as long as you provide your guests with enough notice of your wedding date. We told our guests individually when and where we are having our wedding and we have a wedding website to remind them, but we are also having a smallish wedding. I think your guests will understand why they are getting your invite early.

So I sent out an electronic Save the Date through my TA. And I also am sent an evite to track how many people plan on going. This will allow me to spend more on invitations, since I will be sending 2 types, one with an announcemnt and invite to AHR, and one with both an invite and AHR invite. Eek!
