Re: why save the dates?
We got married on a holiday weekend (MLK Jr. Day as well as the weekend that starts the winter recess from schools in the NY area). Many of our guests with children or our guests that are teachers plan family vacations that week. A handful of them told us they were grateful for the STD's because they had planned to leave for their vacations on the day of the wedding. They waited until the next day. We also had a lot of out of town guests that had to make accommodations for themselves and the children they were leaving at home.
