A save-the-date goes out months before the invitation, so that relatives abroad can book flights and friends can block their leave. Below are lines for the card itself, messages to send with it on WhatsApp, and the replies guests send back. Keep it short: the date, the city if you know it, and a promise that the invitation follows.

When should you send a save the date?
As soon as the date and city are fixed, usually several months before the wedding. Guests who live abroad or need to book leave need the most notice, so send theirs first. The full invitation, with venues and function timings, can follow closer to the day.
What do you write on a save-the-date card?
Your two names, the date, the city if it is decided, and the words "invitation to follow". That is all it needs. A short warm line on top, why you want them there or a little humour about how long everyone waited, makes it feel personal without crowding the card.
