Winter Save the Date Card FAQs

Are There Color Trends for Winter Weddings?

Each season brings new wedding color trends, and winter is no different. In 2022, the trending tones for winter weddings included rich jewel tones and ashy grays. Couples also went all in on the frosty theme with muted greens, blues, and winter whites.

Can You Include an RSVP with Your Save the Date Cards?

It's standard practice to send Save the Date Cards as standalone pieces, months in advance. Wait to send the RSVPs with your invitations, when you know the finer details of the ceremony and reception. That way, guests have all the information they need to determine if the wedding fits into their schedule and budget.

Do Winter Weddings Impact Guest Turnout?

If your winter wedding takes place in December or January, it can impact turnout. This is particularly true if your guests will need to travel in from out of town for a destination wedding — budgets can be tight around the holiday season, and the weather and other festive plans can get in the way.
