We’re at the just under a year mark until our wedding (!!!) and though we’ve told pretty much all of our guests what our date is, we are so excited to send out those official save the dates. 

Giving your guests that heads up well in advance allows them to throw it in their calendar and reserve that day just for you!

Whether you want to have an elaborate gift or card sent out, or something simple online, there are so many fun ways to spread the word. 

There’s just something about having the date on paper that makes it all seem so real for the first time. Because we’ve had a long engagement, this year out mark seems pretty exciting (yet a little scary).

I think we’ve finally decided on how we’re going to send out our save the dates, which you can find out about at the end of this post!

I hope these ideas give you some inspiration, as well as help you know what information to provide and what can wait for the invites.
