Giving Save the Dates @ Engagement Party??

We are having our engagement party the same month as we are sending out our save the dates... would it be ok to have a basket or something with the save the dates in them for people who are there to take rather than mailing to them?

    i wouldn't do a basket..because people may not take them. or not see them..i would make a "favor" for your e-party that had a printout of the STD's on them...or thank you cards for e-party gifts that had STD's.

    Good ideas if you'd rather not mail them!!! But personally, I would probably still mail them... that's just me. I have to tackle this wedding one thing at a time :o)

    I would probably wait a week or so after the party and then mail them out. You could give them to a few close people if you have time to pull them aside.

    Keep in mind that anyone you give a STD to has to be invited.  So it's often advantageous to wait until about 6-8 mos. before the wedding to send STDs so you have a better idea about budget and costs and still have the flexibility to cut your guest list, as needed.

    I wouldn't do a basket - it just seems like people would either not take it or wouldn't notice it if you give it out that way.  I agree that sending it out with a thank you or soon after the engagement party might work (so long as your party isn't more than 6-8 mos. before your wedding date.
