Save the Date Best Practices
9-12 months out is the sweet spot
Earlier and people forget. Later and the holiday and wedding competition has already booked them. For a fall reunion, send save the dates the previous October or November.
Send to multiple channels
Email first. Two weeks later, post to the class Facebook group with the same image. Different classmates live in different channels — never assume one send reaches everyone.
Subject line specificity wins
'SAVE THE DATE — Lincoln High Class of 2005 — October 18, 2026' beats anything clever. The literal date in the subject is the entire reason it gets opened.
Make it a recruitment tool
Asking 'help us track down these classmates' converts the save the date into a working document. People love being the one who finds someone.
Save the Date Questions
When should I send a class reunion save the date?
Send 9 to 12 months before the reunion. Send sooner and people forget; send later and they've already booked competing trips. For an October 2026 reunion, send save the dates in October or November 2025.
What should I include in a class reunion save the date?
Just four things: school name and graduating year, the exact date, the city, and a note that a formal invitation with details and ticket prices is coming. Don't include venue if it's not yet confirmed, and don't include prices — save those for the formal invitation.
Should I send the save the date as email or printed postcard?
Both. Email reaches 90% of your class fast. Printed postcards reach the 10% with no current email and often end up on the fridge as a reminder. Many committees email first, then mail printed cards to the rest 2 weeks later.
How do I find classmates' current email addresses?
Start with the class Facebook group, ask current committee members to share their contacts, search LinkedIn by graduation year, and put a 'looking for these classmates' list in your save the date asking others to help. Recovery typically gets you from 60% reach to 80-90% reach.
Should the save the date subject line include the date?
Yes. 'SAVE THE DATE — Lincoln High Class of 2005 — October 18, 2026' beats every clever subject line. The literal date in the subject is the entire reason it gets opened and remembered.
