All about destination save the dates

The only thing more exciting than a wedding is a destination wedding. You get to combine all the best aspects of your wedding day with a tropical vacation, alongside the love of your life, your family, and your closest friends. Talk about a win-win-win.

To capture the thrill of your upcoming nuptials, and prepare your guests for the trip of a lifetime, embrace travel-themed save the dates for your destination wedding.

Frequently asked questions

How Do You Set the Tone for a Destination Save the Date?

When you’re planning a special event away from your home, the journey you take together adds interest from the very beginning, but you’ll also face new questions—including how you introduce your day. So, what’s the best way to let your family and friends know where they’ll go and what they can expect? For this, destination save the date cards step in as your first chance to set the mood and invite your people to start this experience with you.

What Makes Destination Save the Date Cards Different?

Unlike the standard card, a destination save the date lets you shape the whole feeling and style of your event—and, since each event’s place is different, your card can offer something unique and personal. Often, couples like cards that show or suggest the nature of their chosen place: a beach, a mountain, or a busy city (think styles such as Seaview or even a clear city-inspired card). With this approach, your guests don’t just get information—they are pulled into your story right away.

When Should You Send Out Destination Save the Date Cards?

Timing counts, especially when your guests might need to travel a long way or make a plan well ahead of time. It’s usually wise to send these cards about 8 to 10 months before your day, which gives everyone enough time to ask for time away from work, handle money matters, and book their trip. If your place is in another country or happens during a high season, sending up to a year ahead is often the most helpful choice.

Portrait or Landscape—Which Should You Choose?

Do you wonder if a taller (portrait) or wider (landscape) card will work best for your chosen place? In practice, about 42% of couples prefer portrait, while roughly 30% choose landscape. When your event’s place is known for tall buildings or high trees, the portrait form matches the look. If your location is known for long water views or open city spaces, the landscape shape gives a wider feeling.

Do Most Couples Use Photos or Simple Designs on Destination Save the Dates?

Should you go with your photo on the card, or is a simple design better? Most couples (only 25%) include a photo, and just 2% use more than one—which means the majority prefer a non-photo or art-only style. As is, clean cards, even those with just a color or a simple symbol from your place, often work best to get interest without needing a picture.

What Information Must You Include?

What do your guests absolutely need to know? Your card should include the date (with the day of the week), city and country, a note saying “Formal invitation to follow,” your website for more details and travel help, and a way for your guests to contact you with questions. Keep a balance, so you offer both interest and useful information, and no one is left unsure.

How Do You Add a Personal Touch for Your Place?

Do you need extras like gold highlights or a lot of extras on your card? Not really. Most couples add their own style with colors, easy-to-read fonts, small illustrations, and a design linked to their chosen place. For a sea-based location, Seaview is often picked, while for a mountain or city spot, you might go with simple lines and strong colors.

What Should the Perfect Destination Save the Date Achieve?

The best destination save the date card will share both interest and key facts—so your people know what’s next and feel like part of your plan from the first moment. If you send the card at the right time, use a design that connects clearly to your place, and give just enough detail to guide your guests, you ensure that your save the date starts your story in the right way.
