You make a point there... if its sent out it becomes a keepsake... Hmmmm definitely something to think about.. Thank you so much!

View Quoted Comment Yes. I didn’t want pictures on the save the date so we decided on mirror magnets, was beautiful and was affordable.

I’m all about sending mailed save the dates but if I received a virtual one I wouldn’t think it was tacky at all! It’s still the same sentiment of being invited and that’s all that matters! You could send virtual to most your guests and send physical ones to those you think aren’t as tech savvy! That can help save money!

Congratulations - Go Virtual is unknown what or how to go about things these days. Your crowd will understand. My wedding is postponed for March 2021 and I mailed second invites. Have no idea what to do next! Stay positive we got this

View Quoted Comment Definitely... Thanks for the advise

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much.. It may seem small but it's so stressful... Want to do all the right things and it be perfect but this pandemic is so in the way.

Save the dates are not only meaningless if changed, but having a likelihood of changes due to Covid, it is best not to send them at all, than send them wrong once or twice. Saves are a recent invention, and not everyone uses them in the best of times. They are always an informal communication , and doing what they did before Saves , is call, write ( snail mail or personally addressed email, not blasts), or simply tell them, at whatever time you were absolutely sure there would be no changes. There is no routine time. If you send out info by computer or phone call, 3,4,or 5 months in advance, saying you will be sending a formal invitation in May for your July wedding, that is fine. See what looks clear in February or March, then send. Any individual invitations overseas, or for a special situation, you can tell just those few people early. And have just those few to apologize to if it changes. Because of family, we travel internationally, or to Northern Canada, often. Once you have a passport, in unsettled times, it is unwise to reserve before 4-5 months, and usually later is fine. Special fares you may get early are useless if they drop the flight, or if you pay a change penalty. And close to , there are other cheaper flights so they don't fly with empty seats. So do not feel you ought to send things earlier. There is a reason why for decades, through wars and other epidemics, 8 weeks has been the standard date for invitations.

View Quoted Comment Awesome... Thank you. Makes complete sense. All the worry and stress for nothing really. I appreciate the advise... Thank you

I'm sending some magnets for my older family members and the rest are getting a save the date email card

View Quoted Comment Perfect love the idea..

View Quoted Comment No problem I'm doing the same thing

I sent virtual save the dates to some of our guests since we have overseas guests. It worked well for us and we were able to pick out a cute design that matched our theme. If it makes your life easier I’d say go for it !
