However, based on my hypothetical guest list, most of the out of town guests will be family (easily reached by word of mouth) or young internet savvy people (a quick email can do). <br /><br />In my case, I have a very talkative mother (sisters, cousins, etc) and many friends who forget to check their actual mail boxes but always are looking at their virtual ones so Save the Dates are an unnecessary expense. Instead, I will send out my invitations closer to the 8 week mark rather than 6 and most likely create a fun e-card announcing the engagement and wedding website.<br /><br />As Melinda and I play our favorite game of "Let's Plan a Wedding," we always try to find ways to save money so we can have lovely weddings without spending a fortune. Anything that is not mandatory should be up for evaluation to make sure your event fits your needs and desires. Prioritizing could mean the difference between a DJ and an amazing live band without increasing the budget!brianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264574852706046700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310185540860942738.post-41605128842454414552011-07-27T14:51:13.214-04:002011-07-27T14:51:13.214-04:00Hi Briana,

This is not as useful, however when most of your guests live in the area, and then a save the date is probably not necessary. <br />Also, if you have a wedding website a Save the Date is a great way to let people know about the website, which can provide the wedding guests with additional travel information. <br /><br />MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395300992038082040noreply@blogger.com
