The custom
When do families send a save the date?
A save the date goes out before the invitation, usually three to six months ahead, or earlier for a destination wedding or for family abroad who need to book flights. It carries only the names, the date and the city, and says the invitation will follow. Venue, functions and timings come later with the invitation.
