Digital save the date, what to write and how to send it
Sent as a link, a digital save the date tells guests your wedding date months before the invitation arrives. It carries both names, the date and the city, and leaves times, venue details and RSVP for the invitation itself.

What a save the date is, and isn't
Its only job is to ask guests to keep a day free. It isn't the invitation and it doesn't ask for a reply. The invitation follows later with times, the venue, the schedule and the RSVP form.
When you choose Save the Date here, the line above your names reads "Save our date" by default. You can write your own.
What to write on a save the date
- A short line above the names
- Your names
- The date, including the weekday
- The city or region
- A note that the invitation will follow
Who should get one
Everyone who will get an invitation, and nobody else. A guest who receives a save the date and then no invitation will read it as being uninvited, so finish your guest list first.
They help most when guests travel, when the wedding falls in a holiday season, or when it's a destination wedding.
How to make a digital save the date
When a guest taps the link the envelope opens. If you fill in the venue name (the city is fine while the venue isn't booked yet), an Add to Calendar button appears and puts the date straight into their calendar.
- Pick Ivory, Olive or Bloom
- Choose Save the Date as the occasion
- Fill in both names, the date and the city
- Complete payment and get your link and panel by email
- Send the link by text, WhatsApp or email
Can the same link become the invitation?
Yes. In your panel you switch the occasion from Save the Date to Wedding and add the time, venue and schedule. The link stays the same, so guests find the invitation at the address they already have.
Guests won't reopen the link on their own, so send a short message when the invitation is ready. If you wrote your own line above the names, update it too. Your invitation stays live for 12 months from payment, so publishing a save the date very early shortens how long the page stays up after the wedding.
Price
It's a one-time payment with no subscription. The current price is shown on the order page in your local currency, and the number of guests doesn't change it. A save the date is priced like any other occasion.
Frequently asked questions
What does save the date mean?
It asks guests to keep a date free for your wedding. It comes before the invitation and doesn't ask for a reply.
Do I need to send save the dates?
No. If most guests live nearby, an invitation sent six to eight weeks ahead is enough. Save the dates help when people need to travel.
Should everyone who gets a save the date get an invitation?
Yes. Sending a save the date and no invitation reads as withdrawing the invite.
When should I send save the dates?
Three to six months before the wedding, and closer to a year ahead for a destination wedding abroad.
