I too, didn't really know what Save the Date cards were. I had to research it. I seen them on several wedding invitations sites. I even was giving a wedding planner and it was one of the things to complete. That alone took much time, research, photo shoot, and good word usage.
I do agree, it is a perfect way to announce our special day and location. However, most of my family and some friends mistaken it as the wedding invitation. Not knowing it's not. I have to do the extra step of answering their coming calls and answer their questions of location, time, etc. Also follow up with a text or Facebook message to include our wedding website, Thank you Wedding Wire!! Let me add, I did add our wedding website on our SAVE the Date Cards. I think they are just over excited and fail to fully understand the card and its content.
Anyone had this happen to them too?
