In 2022, it\u2019s rare for a couple to be hosting a wedding that\u2019s not a destination wedding in some way, shape or form. Because society as a whole is so much more mobile these days, very few people live near most of their family and friends, so it\u2019s likely that half the list (or more!) will travel regardless of where the wedding is hosted. That\u2019s where destination save the dates<\/a> come in!<\/p>\n

That said, true destination weddings, where virtually no one lives in the wedding location, are a bit of a different thing. Especially when the location is an international destination!<\/p>\n

International Destination Wedding Save the Date Card<\/h2>\n

For international destinations, a couple is often working with a resort and\/or a travel agent to book group accommodations and the like. While the circumstances can vary widely, the couple sometimes receives incentives related to the rooms booked and needs to meet certain requirements to host the wedding in that locale. Be sure to review those deadline dates and considerations when it comes to sending your save the dates.<\/p>\n

Remember, though, that earlier is not always better. Anything more than 18 months out (even for international destinations) is a bit much. Just think about it: on a normal day, do you have any idea what your life will look in 18 months? It\u2019s far too long to expect actual commitments that far out, but asking someone to keep the date in mind is reasonable from 18 months on.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, we recommend save the dates go out between 6 months and a year before your wedding date.<\/p>\n
