Wedding bells are in your future. Congrats! Your first big challenge is creating a clever save-the-date wording to print on favors.
Save-the-date favors should be an essential part of your wedding plans. Future brides and grooms often hand out save-the-date gifts to relatives and friends at engagement parties. They inform guests about your wedding date before invitations are sent. Save-the-dates also are a sweet keepsake to commemorate your big news!
Aside from telling your guests that you’re tying the knot, save-the-dates give you an opportunity to showcase your personality. You can skip the traditional wording and add a little creativity to get everyone excited for your special day!
The sayings on custom Koozies® and can coolers or coasters can be serious, witty or fun. Our Totally Wedding crew knows that not everyone is a writer or poet. That’s why we’re here to help you with save-the-date wording.

Save-the-date FAQs
Got questions about the save-the-date process? Here are a few FAQs to help you navigate the dos and don’ts:
When should you give out save-the-date favors?
Give your loved ones save-the-date gifts during your engagement party or whatever event you choose to announce your wedding day. We recommend doing this within several months after getting engaged.
Whose name goes first on save-the-dates?
The brides’ name typically appears first in the save-the-date design.
What should be included in a save-the date?
Your first or full names must appear on your save-the-dates with your photo. You also need to include the wedding date and location. The city/state is sufficient, unless it’s a destination wedding. In that case, more detailed information should be added. Let everyone know a formal invitation will follow.
Do you put a wedding website on your save-the-dates?
It’s OK to add your wedding website to your save-the-dates. It can give your guests an insight into your relationship and keep them updated on your wedding plans.
What shouldn’t be included in your save-the-dates?
You don’t have to include the exact location of your venue, an RSVP or wedding registry with your save-the-dates.
