What to include

What to put in your save-the-date website

A save-the-date is intentionally minimal. These six elements are all you need — guests get everything else with the full invitation.

Your names & the date

The two things guests need first. Your names and the wedding date — nothing else is required at this stage.

City or country

Guests need to book travel early. The city or country is enough — full venue details come with the invitation.

A photo of the two of you

An engagement photo or a favourite together shot. It makes the announcement personal and memorable.

"Invitation to follow"

A short note letting guests know the full invitation is coming. Sets expectations without giving everything away.

The link (same as later)

AreOne save-the-dates and full invitations share the same URL. When you add RSVP and venue details, guests re-open the same link.

QR code for printing

Print a postcard with the QR code for guests who prefer something physical. They scan and land on your save-the-date page.

FAQs

Save the Date Website — Questions Answered

What is a save-the-date website?
A save-the-date website is a digital page that couples share early — usually 6 to 12 months before the wedding — to announce the date and give guests time to plan. It is simpler than a full invitation: just the couple's names, the wedding date, the general location, and a note that the invitation is coming.
When should I send a save-the-date?
For a local wedding, 4 to 6 months before the date is typical. For a destination wedding where guests need to book flights and accommodation, 8 to 12 months is better. The earlier you send, the more lead time guests have to arrange travel.
Is an AreOne save-the-date free?
Designing and previewing is free — no credit card required. You get a 7-day planning window to choose a design, add your details, and see exactly what guests will see. Publishing your save-the-date live so guests can open the link requires Event Pass — a one-time fee per event, not a monthly subscription.
What should I include in a save-the-date?
Keep it simple: your names, the wedding date, and the general location (city or country is enough at this stage). A couple photo makes it personal. Add a note that the full invitation is coming. You do not need the venue name, RSVP details, or dress code yet — those come with the full invitation.
Can I use the same link for my save-the-date and my full invitation?
Yes. AreOne save-the-dates and full invitations share the same URL. You start with minimal details, share the link, and then update the same page with venue, RSVP, meal choices, and dress code when everything is confirmed. Guests re-open the same link for the full invitation — no resharing needed.
Can I send a digital save-the-date instead of a paper one?
Yes — and many couples prefer it. A digital save-the-date is faster, costs nothing to send, and can be updated if any details change. You share it via WhatsApp, email, or SMS, and guests open it in their browser without downloading anything. For guests who prefer something physical, you can print the QR code on a postcard.
How do I share my save-the-date website?
Share your AreOne link via WhatsApp, iMessage, email, Instagram DMs, or any messaging app. You can also generate a QR code and print it on a card or postcard. Guests tap the link or scan the QR and land on your save-the-date page in their browser — no app required.
Can I update my save-the-date after I send it?
Yes. You can update your AreOne page at any time — add the venue, update the ceremony time, or swap the wording from save-the-date to full invitation. Every guest who opens the link from that point sees the updated version. Nothing to reshare.
Do guests need an app to open a save-the-date website?
No. Guests open the link in any browser on any device — iPhone, Android, tablet, or desktop. No app download, no account creation. The page loads instantly, works inside WhatsApp's in-app browser, and looks great on any screen size.
What is Event Pass?
Event Pass is a one-time fee per event that publishes your save-the-date (and later, your full invitation) live so guests can open the link. It also unlocks RSVP collection, unlimited guests, meal choices, live analytics, seating management, and branding removal. You pay once per event — not monthly — and the page stays active until 10 days after your wedding.
