Save the Date letter- What did you say?

[cruisethe7seas]

Hi, we are going on the Fantasy for our wedding in April 06. Save the dates will be going out very soon, to about 40 of our nearest and dearest guests.

 

I'll send a magnet or something, but what else? I was thinking either a handwritten notecard that was to the point, like "we hope you'll join us on our 4-night Bahamas cruise" with the name and phone number of our DW specialist/TA... OR a full-out typed letter, "we hope you'll join us, if not we understand, we're still having an at-home reception" etc.

 

What did you all do? Do you have the letter for inspiration?

 

Thanks :-)

 

Carnival Victory 10/00

Celebrity Zenith 10/03 to 6/04 (working)

Carnival Fantasy 4/06 (wedding!)

_ "Passport" photos

- The cruise itinerary

- Cruise pricing info and our TA's info

- Brief overview of the islands we'd be visiting

- Our top 10 favorite reasons to cruise

- Date for our at-home reception

We did ours like an invitation. I purchased invitations that could be used in a laser printer and used the following language. They went out about 5 months before the cruise.
