    I was wondering that too, as I've never gotten one... but the stationery shop I ordered mine at said it was starting to become more popular.  We're choosing to do them because we're having a daytime weekday wedding, right after labour day long weekend - otherwise, I wouldn't.

    We did STD's!  I used VistaPrint Canada to make a magnet that we sent out in November (we got married in August).  I think from friends and family who have gotten married, about half of them sent out STD's, the others just verbally told us the date.  I thought it was fun, but some people on a budget can save in that area by doing it online.

    This was ours:

    Yeah, out of the dozen or so weddings I've attended, I think only one couple has ever sent a STD. One or two others may have sent a casual email to let me know when the date was. I also sent a casual email to OOT guests.

    I've never actually received an STD though I've only been to five weddings and since they were very close family members I only received one invite. Most of them just told me what was going on.  I love the idea and have made my own.  Should be sending them out around September.

    I've never received a STD, but generally I have been told the date verbally months before the invitation arrives. It just seems like an extra, unnecessary expense to me.

    Ya, I've been to several weddings and never heard of an STD before going on this website.  Everyone just asks when our date is anyway! haha
