Congrats, Beth!! It's about time you made an honest man of Mike...oh. Wait. Even you can't do that. ;) hehehe!

I've heard of 'save the date' cards but I'm not sure I'd use them. Even announcement cards turned out to be arcane when I got married the first time, and I had read they were very useful for people who couldn't afford a big wedding but wanted folks to know about the event anyway. After folks got our announcements, we kept hearing how they "didn't get them in time to attend." Hel-LO! They say "announcement!" not "invitation!" Ah, well. Weddings are nothing if not an arcane process.

But they are cool when they happen to nice folks we know. ::hugs::
