You've chosen a date for your autumn wedding and have kicked off the exciting process of planning your nuptials. Now it's time to loop in your guests by sending out a save-the-date card. While they aren't mandatory, save-the-date cards are a nice way to set the mood for your event and give guests a heads-up about any details before you send out your official wedding invitations.

Your save-the-date doesn't have to perfectly match the rest of your wedding stationery. In fact, some couples choose to mail out an ultra-unique item, like a personalized save-the-date magnet or sticker. However, if you'd like a cohesive theme to carry through all of your paper goods, The Knot Invitations has plenty of fall wedding inspiration to choose from. Whether you're planning a rustic affair, a destination wedding or just want to incorporate some pretty fall colors into your celebration, there's a save-the-date card for every wedding style.
