Who sends the STD?

in Wedding Invitations & Paper

Our invitations are being sent in the traditional/ formal manner from my parents. They are also paying for the majority of the wedding, so this seems more than appropriate.

Who should the save the dates be sent from? I designed them and think they can be more casual/ fun and like the idea of sending them myself; however, I think my mom thinks that is inconsistent with the invitations. Additionally the back of the postcard says "Love, Jane and Joe" which I think is nice but my mom DOES NOT like. I totally understand where she is coming from, but I was wondering if I am totally off base by saying the STDs can be from us and then the invites from them.

Thanks for your help.

    I agree with your mom that the STD's and invites should be sent from the same people. STD's aren't a requirement, though, and they can definitely be less formal than the invites - so I'm not sure what etiquette rules would dictate this. I just think it makes more sense to receive the STD from the hosts of the wedding. 

    Our Save the dates were fun in terms of style, but had very simple traditional wording. Could you maybe post a picture of your STD's or the wording? I'm just curious as to why your mom doesn't like them - is it just that you want them to be sent by you, or is there something else she doesn't like about them?

    Thank you for your help. I appreciate it. The wording my mom didn't like was that the message on the back of the postcard was signed Love, my fiance and myself. She didn't like that because it looked as though we were sending the STD's, and she felt it took away from the fact that they were hosting the wedding.

    I suppose I don't really mind her sending them. I just was curious as to the etiquette.

    Thanks again for you input.
