Save The Dates - When To Send? What To Include?

[tehopper]

I do like it. I paid the extra $20 to have the custom domain b/c it was easier to put on invititaitons and have people remember it. If you want something super custom and personalized, it might be too standard. But if you just want an easy to place to lay out your information in a very straightforward way, it's great. We've gotten a lot of compliments on ours. I think Wedding wire is pretty similar in features - you should look into that one too

 

Thanks! I'll check out wedding wire too. Yeah I just spent some time browsing the knot and I think I like the simple feel. I don't really need a ton of extra features of a paid site I don't think. I saw the domain option and maybe I'll consider that, I didn't think it would make that much difference, but you're right in that it would be shorter and easier to remember if you pay extra.

I just sent my e-Save the Dates out 2 days ago with the link to our Appy Couple website. I wondered if anyone would even use the corresponding app - but they are! Even my dad downloaded our wedding app! People are starting to RSVP already so I'm pretty excited

I am getting married July 2015 and my STD just arrived! They will go out within the next week. Mine have the date and our travel agent's information to book.

 

Our group block of rooms needs to be released at the end of March or else we are held financially responsible for them, so I'm hoping that by sending STD now, bookings will start. Our invitations will probably go out in early January.

The TA that I am using, sent me a pdf of the booking information with all the information regarding place, hotel, etc. And then once I getting closer to planning the actual wedding with the hotel. I will be sending out a formal invitation to those that have booked. The formal invitation will include the schedule of events, so they can plan whatever activity or sightseeing event they will want while there.
