Wedding etiquette states that save the date cards should be mailed out 6-8 months in advance. These serve as a reminder for your guests, as well as an announcement that you're getting married! Save the date cards are especially important if you're inviting out of town guests, your wedding is during a popular time, or if you're having a wedding far from home.
Thank You Cards are an important piece of the wedding puzzle that people often seem to forget. Our suggestion is to make life as easy as possible and turn your favorite wedding photo into a postcard. Not only will this be more simple for you and your new spouse because it takes less postage, a pre-printed generic message can be written on the back, saving time and sanity, but best of all, it can be a keepsake for the guest!
