African American Weddings

Save the dates?

IS it necessary to send out save the dates? I really don't want to sent them out because it's so many trees that are being slaughtered and I really am an eco freak!! I don't think it's necessary to even send them out unless it's out of town guests.  I really don't want to send them out is it really necessary ladies?

    </div><div>Just looking at your timeline, I would say no. Invites are all you need 3-4 months out. You are right though about wedding with OOT guest, Destination weddings, or close to holidays. But you could do STDs online as well to cut trees and costs and just call those that are older who may not have email/tech savvy.

  • I agree with Key......ummm I am having a destination wedding and sent the STD's at 9 months..

    I think you can use that money towards invitations

  • girrrrrllll forget the STDs, you need to start on the invites!!!

    I think STDS are only good for out of town guests or for destination weddings. I sent ours out about 9 or 10 months in advance
  • I did not do any Save The Dates mostly because we wanted to spend our time and money elsewhere. Also, I knew some of those initial ppl that I wanted to invite may be x'd off the list when it came down to invites. 

    Now, with your timeframe, you don't have time to do STD's even if you actually wanted to. Your time now should be spent preparing/making/purchasing/designing your formal invitations.
