A save the date is a notice stating the date of a significant event such as a wedding. It is typically sent to those likely to be interested or affected by the event and states the planned date of the occasion so that recipients who wish to attend know to keep that date free. Whilst some people choose to send a save the date notice, other couples might just advise friends and family verbally.

For weddings, save the dates usually take the form of a card, but can also be a refrigerator magnet, or similar item. They are generally sent out at least six to twelve months before the wedding date, and are usually followed by a formal wedding invitation. While save the date started as a wedding-related custom, it is now used by individuals, businesses, and organizations to announce the date of any formal event, ranging from wedding anniversaries to grand opening ceremonies for office buildings.

‘Save the date. We’re getting married on Saturday 8th July, 2012 and would love you to be there. Invitations and details to follow. Love ..... and.......’

‘Save the date: ....... and ...... are getting married on Saturday 20th April, 2012. Invitations to follow.’

Save the Date as Refrigerator Magnets[link]

One way of sending out a save the date is in the form of a refrigerator magnet. These are known as "save the date magnets". Although they are used to announce the date of special events (both personal and business), they are used far more prominently for wedding announcements.
