That special once-in-a-lifetime-moment has come.
You are finally getting hitched (hooray!).
Unless you have decided to elope, your next step after the engagement is to decide how much you can afford to spend on your wedding.
A rookie mistake is booking that lavish resort for your dream beach wedding and ending up with an insufficient budget for other wedding services, such as hiring a professional wedding photographer or videographer.
Fortunately, we have a wedding freebie that could help you save up some cash for other parts of your marriage (honeymoon, perhaps?).
We hereby present to you a collection of Free Save the Date Templates for Word, brought to you by Temploola.com. They also have matching invitations and RSVP to go along with their Save the Date templates.
Save the Date Cards - Are They Necessary?
Unless you have a very short engagement, the answer is yes, you should always send out Save the Date cards to your guests so they could clear their calendars and make attending your wedding a top priority.
A good rule of thumb is to send out your cards about six to eight months before your wedding ceremony. However, if you plan on having a luxurious wedding, say, in another country, you should send out your cards even earlier so that your wedding guests could budget for the travel expenses in advance.
What to Include on your Cards?
If you have downloaded the free wedding templates from Temploola, you have nothing to worry about as their Microsoft Word templates are pre-populated with the essential information.
If you are hiring someone else to design them for you, be sure to include the following details on your save the date cards:
- You and your fiancé's name
- Your wedding date
- Location
- A short phrase notifying guests that formal invitations will be sent
How to get your Free Save the Date Templates?
Whether you are eyeing for a printable card template that is geometric and minimal or classy and tropical, Temploola has something for everyone. You will receive the following in your download:
- An A4-sized save the date template in Microsoft Word format
- A US letter-sized save the date template in Microsoft Word format
- Fonts used in the template
Be sure to install the fonts included on your Windows or Mac operating system before you proceed to customize your own design in Microsoft Word or Word for Mac.
Getting married is not as simple as putting the ring on the finger. The countdown to D-day is a long and challenging one. But it shouldn't be.
Let these free save the date templates ease your burden. Edit them in Microsoft Word so that you send them to your guests first and then focus on other items on your wedding checklist.
