Save the date cards are the couple’s first official announcement of their wedding date.  They are basically informal invitations to a wedding. Save the date cards are an important aspect in wedding planning for both the bride & groom & their guests.  They not only let guests know the date & location of the wedding so they can make their travel & vacation plans, but they also can help the bride & groom narrow down and finalize their guest list.  When choosing your card it should coordinate with the colors and the theme of your special day. This is your first chance to let your friends and family get a taste of what is to come.
