I want to do Save the Dates, but FH doesn't see the need. Maybe their not a requirement, but I think they would be nice, especially if I made them myself.

Extra, I did these and ended up stressing out because I didn't get them all out because I didn't have everyones. address.

I like them but this is an Extra for me. It just wasn't in our budget so I sent our invitations out early.

They were essential for us because 99% of our guests have to travel for a couple of hours on a Friday.

Hi Victoria! Given your out-of-town guests coming in for your Friday wedding, I agree, STDs are imperative. Out of curiosity, did your STDs include one of your engagement photos?

Essential. Helps guest to prepare ahead of time. We included wedding website access for information. Our engagements photos were a nice add on.

Extra, it’d be nice to do but definitely not a must.

I was all set to purchase invitations, but my wedding planning crew are telling me to send e-invites instead...so this may be EXTRA. I still have until January to decide.
