What are some good quotes to save the date for a wedding?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

Good save the date quotes are short, warm and personal. Try 'We're getting married and we'd love you to join us', 'Save the date for our wedding celebration', or 'The date is set, the party is planned, we hope you can come'.

The best save the date quote is one that sounds like you. You do not need anything fancy or poetic. A simple line that names the date and your excitement is often the most effective. For a relaxed feel, try 'Put the kettle on, we're getting married' or 'Mark your calendar, we're saying I do'. For something a little more romantic, 'We found each other, and we'd love you to celebrate with us' works well. If you are having a themed wedding, you can match the quote to the theme, such as 'Let's raise a glass' for a drinks themed day or 'Join us for a dance' for a music focused celebration. You can also use a line from a song, poem or film that means something to you both, as long as it is short and clear. Remember the main job of a save the date is to give guests the date and location. The quote is just a friendly wrapper. Keep it under ten words if you can, and make sure the date is the most visible part of the card. If you are stuck, a simple 'We're getting married' with the date and place is always a safe and lovely choice.
