Short answer
You send save the dates by email using a wedding website or an email service that lets you design a simple card. Attach a photo, add your date and location, and send it to your guest list with a clear subject line.
Email save the dates are quick, free and easy to update if plans change. Start by choosing a clean design, either from your wedding website builder or a basic email template. Include your names, the wedding date, the town or region, and a line saying a formal invitation will follow. Add one favourite photo of you as a couple, and make sure the date is prominent. Send from an address guests will recognise, and use a subject line like "Save the date: [Your names] [Date]". Put each guest's name in the greeting rather than a group email, so it feels personal. If you have a wedding website, include the link so guests can check travel details later. For older guests who are less comfortable with email, you could send a printed card as well. Always test the email on your phone before sending, because many guests will open it there. Keep the text short, and avoid attachments that might go to spam. You can also set a reminder to send the formal invitation about six to eight weeks before the wedding, as email save the dates are easy to forget.
