| Q. When do you suggest sending save the date cards, our wedding is a year away? – Jenny
A. Save the date cards are usually sent out 6 to 8 months in advance of the wedding. However if you are scheduling your wedding during a holiday weekend or are having a destination wedding then it is a good idea to send them out 1 year in advance to give your family and friends time to plan. The most common form of save the date is a photo post card from your enegagement photography. Another idea is send out a magnet which can be placed on the refrigerator reminding your friends and family of the date. If you are having guests from out of the country make sure you send out save the dates with plenty of time to arrange their passports. |

Wedding Insurance
August 4, 2009
From today’s email:
I am getting married in 2010 and a friend mentioned to me wedding insurance. What is your opinion on this?
Julie
Typically wedding insurance covers the vendor deposits if the wedding has to be canceled because of illness, military action, weather or the vendor not showing up or other uncontrollable instances. I have not found any insurance that covers you if you are unable to pay for the services that you contracted because you were laid off or got cold feet.
When entering into any contract make sure you read the wedding insurance policy thoroughly and if you don’t understand something ask the agent, before you sign! The few wedding insurance policies I have seen are full of exclusions, so while you may think you are covered on something you may not be. Always read before signing on the dotted line.
