Destination Wedding invitation in Italy. All you need to know.

Because your wedding isn’t your typical affair, I always recommend starting with a “save the date” note, especially for a destination wedding. This initial gesture not only announces your upcoming nuptials but also gives guests a valuable heads-up to mark their calendars and start making travel arrangements well in advance.

But why stop there? Consider creating a dedicated website for your destination wedding. This digital platform serves as a centralized hub of information, offering guests comprehensive details about travel arrangements, accommodation options, local attractions, and any other relevant logistics they may need to plan their trip effectively. By including the website link in the invitation, you make accessing this valuable resource effortless for your guests, ensuring they have all the tools they need to join you in celebrating your special day.

When it comes to crafting the wording for your “save the date” note or invitation, begin with a warm greeting that reflects the joy and excitement of your impending union. Follow it with the names of the couple getting married, along with the date and location of the wedding. Feel free to sprinkle in any additional important details or personal touches that will make your invitation uniquely yours and set the tone for the unforgettable celebration to come.

Aim to send these out six to twelve months before your wedding date, giving your guests ample time to mark their calendars, make travel arrangements, and plan accordingly. This early heads-up not only helps guests prioritize your wedding in their schedules but also ensures they have plenty of time to RSVP.
The Save the Date can also be sent to your guests using an interactive animation, a video or a simple nice picture via Whatsapp.

Once you have finalized the details of your wedding, it’s time to send out your formal invitation. Traditionally, invitations, are sent out six to eight weeks before the wedding date for local weddings and eight to ten weeks in advance for Destination Weddings. This time frame allows for enough time for guests to finalize travel arrangements and ensure that all necessary details are in place for the big day.

For both Save the Date and Invitations be sure to consider any additional factors that might impact your guests’ availability, such as holidays, major events or peak travel season. By sending out your wedding stationery in a timely manner you not only give your guest the information they need to plan for your wedding but also show them how much you value their presence on your special day.

Your Wedding Planner will be the right person to guide you through the process of sending out invitations.
