We understand that wedding planning can be a bit stressful and comes with a lot of questions. Weddings in Spain can be a bit harder to plan because you won’t be around. You’ll be planning it from miles away. Questions like where should I hold the wedding? How long in advance should I notify my guests? And lots more will run through your mind. To make your planning easier, we would like to give you as many insights as we can!
Firstly, couples need a great location to hold their Spain weddings. Spain is the romance capital of Europe so most weddings in Spain tend to be intimate and romantic. But that is not everything. To have the wedding of your dreams in Spain, you have to get it right from the very beginning. That is with your wedding invitations and save the dates. If you haven’t been married before, you might be at a loss on where to start. We’d love to help with that. Here is what you need to know about save the dates and wedding invitations.
- Save The Date
The save the date card is a notice to your guests for them to save that date. Its purpose is more about telling people not to make any plans on the said day. It does not contain much about the detail of Spain weddings, because sometimes those details are yet to be settled. Still, you want your guests to add your big day to their agenda. Most weddings in Spain have their save the dates sent out very early in the wedding. Here is what you need to know about them.
- What Do I Include?
Your save the date should include your names, the date and details of the location. You should also let your guests know that a formal invitation will be sent at a later date. Like other weddings in Spain, you could include some illustrations of your wedding venue to make your send the dates more unique.
- When Do I Send It?
The right time to send your save the date depends on the kind of Spain weddings a couple is having. A safe time is between 6 to 12 months before the wedding. If you are having a destination wedding, you need to give your guests plenty of time to make arrangements so between 9 to 12 months before the date is advisable. Most weddings in Spain are destination weddings, so make sure you send out your save the date at around 9 to 12 months before your wedding day.
- Wedding Invitations
It is time for your wedding invitations when you have finally settled all the aspects of your wedding. For this one, all formalities are required and all the details should be included. Choose a gorgeous design that matches your wedding theme and do your invitations with enough time in advance to fix any mistakes. Here are some things to include in your wedding invitations.
- What Do I Include?
Your wedding invitations should include all the information about your wedding:
Date and time.
Location for the ceremony and reception
Dress code.
Wedding website
RSVP
Directions and map etc
- When Do I Send It?
From 6 to 8 weeks before the event is a great time to send your wedding invitations. This will give your guests ample time to be ready although they’d have already been preparing since you sent out your save the dates. Since you’ll be having a Spanish wedding, the best time is 8 weeks before your ceremony as it will be a destination wedding. Don’t forget to include your RSVPs too.
Your save the dates and wedding invitations are the first glimpse that people get of your wedding. Remember that they should follow your overall wedding theme for the sake of continuity. Send them out on time so that your guests can get ready to be there on time too. Best of luck!!!
