    i guess it just has to have the bare minimum info on it....
    I'm having postcards and the wording links in with my alice in wonderland theme

    Don't be late, for a very important date
    The marriage of Lucy & Pete on
    Wednesday April 6th 2011
    No time to say hello, goodbye

    Wording is tricky though! I hate the flowery language in invitations but it's hard to strike the right balance....

    We didn't do a 'save the date' beforehand as we are getting married in 6 months but we made fridge magnets with a pic of a bride & groom via an internet site and sent them with our invites

    Please don't forget our wedding date
    then date, time & church

    Don't forget to RSVP
    any queries contact: and our email address

    We look forward to your company
    Love K & R xxx

    I know myself how many invites I lose between recieving them and the date of the event and I usually have to pin them to the fridge so I just thought this might work & everyone has said what a good idea it was.

    Usually about a year. We sent them 15 months before as it was school holidays.

    We've just kinda emailed and text, and called save the dates, for important people, that are going to be at the ceremony. Our invites are going out 11 months before the wedding, as we have many people coming from all over the country, plus I wanna get as much as possible done early, though I'll probably ask for confirmation early as possible, so we know costs, then closer to the time confirm again, I know what I'm like. LoL
