Save the Dates (STD's)

Save the dates are to begin with, optional, but there are some ways to keep them affordable. Check out www.vistaprint.com and use their business cards which are often free if you pay for shipping (approx. $5) You have to pick the design for a selection, but overall a good deal. I used them and they turned out great. Plus you get like 250 so I used the extra to scrapbook with.

If you get these save the dates one of the great ways you can distribute them is to put them in holiday cards. This way they won't cost you extra postage. Another option would be to hand them out to people. Just put an extra column on the guest list so you know that you gave one to them.

If you joined www.theknot.com you could also email everyone a note for a save the date which could also include the link to your wedding webpage that you set up for guests to refer to for info about directions, bridal party, registry and any other info that you have.

If joining theknot.com is not something you want to do then you can create an email address on hotmail or gmail (which I recommend doing anyway) and email everyone from there.
