The answer is no! Although they're hard to resist, save-the-date cards are not a must. A situation in which a save-the-date is considered proper etiquette would be if your wedding is something that guests will need extra notice about, for instance a destination wedding or a wedding on a holiday weekend. So unless your wedding fits into those criteria, spend the money that you would spend on save-the-dates on something more necessary. If you do opt for save-the-dates, infuse them with personality and style! Remember, they do not have to match your wedding invitations. They can be far less traditional and far more stylish!

*Sheet Music: Buy new or vintage sheet music, and hand-write your wedding information at the top of the page, in the margins, or on the back. Use music like the Cinderella Waltz or the Wedding March.
*Do you have a favorite clothing advertisement? Try to recreate the photo, then mail as your save the date card
