Save the Dates - Wording Samples

Q: I am sending out my save the date magnets and want to include hotel information. Do you have an example of the proper wording?
-Kori-

A: The content of your save-the-dates should be short, sweet, and to the point - providing a basic who, what, where, and when. There is no standard wording; they can be as formal or as whimsical as you'd like. In any case, make sure to include "Formal invitation to follow" somewhere on the card.

Here is the basic layout for the save-the-date cards:

Save the Date: [bride & groom's name] are getting married on [wedding date] in [city, state]

If you’re including hotel information – here is a basic format:

A block of rooms has been reserved at [Name of Hotel]. Please reference the [bride’s last name/groom’s last name] wedding to reserve the special rate of [hotel rate]. [hotel phone number, hotel website]

If space is an issue – you can simply state: Room block reserved at the [name of hotel, hotel phone number]
