Digital Save the Date Cards UK: What to Send Before the Invitation

Video transcript

This article explains what a digital save the date card is and what to send before a full invitation.

A save the date only asks guests to hold the day, while the invitation carries full details and the reply request. The card arrives as a link, so guests can add the date to a phone calendar in seconds.

Digital save the dates reach every guest at once, cost nothing to post and can be changed without a reprint.

Send them as soon as the date and venue are confirmed, and earlier for bank holidays or peak summer.

Names, the date and a rough location are enough, plus a line saying an invitation will follow. Write in plain, warm English and match the tone to the event.

Digital cards arrive faster and can be corrected, while printed cards suit couples who want something physical.
