No. You don't need them. Here's why you don't need save the dates (unfortunate acronym, don't you agree?)
1. You will have told all the people you actually want there, or you will have told your REALLY close friends and family who will tell people who you have no intention of inviting.
2. They tie you into a guest list, since if they receive save the date, they need to save it too. Budgets and venues can change, and you want to stay flexible.
3. Your initial excitement for your wedding may compel you to send STD's to people you don't really know, don't really want to pay for, and really do not want to invite. Especially when you find out how much weddings in NJ cost.
4. They cost money. To print and to mail.
5.It is one more thing for you to do.
The ONLY reason that a save the date is possibly necessary is if your wedding is on a holiday, during a vacation period or long weekend, or if you have very out of town guests that may need to plan transport and budgets to be part of the day.
Don't you feel more relieved now?
