Save The Date Cards

Ever heard of the expression, "You learn something new everyday"? Well, this rings true in my life. When you surf the net, you always learn something new. Unfortunately, I came across some things that I wouldn't mention here. Unlike the library, the internet is not protected from "adult content".

Anyway, there is something new I can share. This is new to me, but it may not be for some. Being surrounded by kids and teens, not having much interaction with adults...it keeps me out of the loop of what's new in the real world. My world consists of The Disney Channel, The Jonas Brothers and Myspace...my younger kid's and teen's interests. I digress.... Back to the topic of a new discovery, Save The Date Cards. Now, I really didn't understand the concept of Save The Date Cards, so I went to a site to do a little research.

What are they and what are their purpose?
Let's say you were proposed to and you accepted. You and your beloved decide on a date right away. Your freinds and family live all over the world. You have relatives in Europe, the states and even the Caribbean that will be attendng. What do you do? You can send Save The Date Cards to all your guests, so that they are aware of the plans that are underway. Obviously, they are sent way before the wedding invitations. The nice thing about this particular site that I used as an example is that they can coordinate your Save The Date Cards to your wedding theme/colors or they can be fun and witty. It's all up to you. I guess I better get acquainted with all of these things. My oldest is 18 and time goes by sooo quickly!
