Clear your diary…there\u2019s a celebration you won\u2019t want to miss!<\/h2>\n

For a destination wedding, I believe it\u2019s advisable to give your guests as much advance notice as possible so I highly recommend sending a save the date card.<\/p>\n

As your guests will need to travel abroad the more notice they are given the greater the likelihood they will be able to attend your wedding. Amongst other things, it may allow them to plan holidays around your wedding or take a mini break. It will also help to ensure they get the best deals on flights and accommodation.<\/p>\n

A save the date doesn’t need to be anything fancy. You can send out a traditional save the date card or something different like a fridge magnet but firing off a simple email may also do the trick to ensure your family and friends have the date and destination of your wedding abroad in writing.<\/p>\n

Our wedding was in September and we sent out a save the date email to all our family and friends in January – giving them 8 months notice.<\/p>\n

In the case of a wedding abroad, it really is ‘the earlier the better’<\/strong>. I believe as soon as you have chosen your destination and date, I would let your guests know, even its two years in advance! This is not only for your guests but also for you. Most of your guests prior to receiving their official wedding invitation will be able to give you an indication as to whether they can attend your wedding.<\/p>\n

Having an idea of numbers early on will help enormously with your planning making things such as venue selection, supplier booking and finding appropriate guest accommodation a lot easier and simpler.<\/p>\n

Save the Date for Destination Weddings – Wording<\/span><\/h2>\n

A save the date should\u00a0be short and straight to the point. It doesn\u2019t need much more than your names, the destination you are getting married in and the date. You could also include; please save the date we\u2019d love you to be there or formal invite to follow.<\/p>\n
