Disney Save the dates

[stitchfan18]

We're planning to send out our own save the dates, does Disney have to send out there's or can we tell them not to? It's mostly family and we'll be including the address to our website on our save the dates so people can book their hotels. Is there anymore info on the Disney save the dates that people might need to know? Does anyone have a copy of a disney save the date they can post? I'd be interested to see what they include that we might not....

the disney save the date used to have all the information on rooms pricing and ticket pricing. It might not anymore, plus a link to a website. We let them send it out. it built excitement getting something from disney:)

The save the dates from Disney have the info about your roomblock, ticket info, and gives your website. It's really nice and also has a professionally put together booklet just talking a little about Disney World. I would definitely let them send it for you because it's included with what your paying. Some of my guests thought that they were so nice they thought it was the invitation :rotfl2: We had ours sent out and then 2 weeks later sent a newsletter with preliminary RSVP's. HTH! :goodvibes

I agree you should use the save the date. They are like a book! Everyone that I had them sent to was like..wow, that must have cost a fortune! There is lots of info about Disney, the room block, tickets ect.,. Plus they are really pretty and tasteful.

I made Save the Date magnets and sent them back with my contract. They will include my magnet in the Save the Date mailing they do. If you haven't sent your contract back yet, check with them.

So do the Save the Date packages get sent out at 8 months when I sign the contract? :)

[orangetiggs]

Rasberry, you got here before I did!! I had the same question

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Ha ha - how funny! We need all the info we can get.....!:rotfl2:

[orangetiggs]

Thats true!! My SM is not always very good with the info so this is the best place!

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Who's your SM? :confused: I think I may be having a blonde moment and I don't know it... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[orangetiggs]

I'm dealing with heidi at the moment and from reading other posts it seems others are more helpful than mine right now!

It seems to be that you get different info from each of them really no consistancy (sp?) from them, thats my thought anyway

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Ahhh.... Sales Manager! I get it now - I was thinking it was one of your family.... d'oh!:lmao: I hope you get more help from her soon!

Oh wow - that is so cute! How did you make that? It's exactly what I'm looking for - the pumpkin and the mice!!!

[orangetiggs]

when do disney send them out?

[ecoon]

So do the Save the Date packages get sent out at 8 months when I sign the contract? :)

Yes...after you sign the contract, put down your deposit, and get them your guest list they will send out the Save the Dates for you. Depending on when you get the guest list to them (I, of course, was a little late) they will send them out right around the 8 month mark.

[orangetiggs]

so if we are signing the contract at 12 months does that mean ours will go out just after that or will it be the 8 month mark for us too?

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Thanks for this - I can make a note of it now :)

Yes, Disney provides only the Custom brides with Save the Dates. We are an Escape as well and I made our's.

I could be wrong but I believe those are from Jennifer at Sassy Designs... or at least we ordered the same exact ones from there.

I asked my sales manager if I could have the save the dates sent to me and I will add my own save the date, newsletter/info, a copy of Birnbaums official guide to a few of our out of state guests who haven't been, a Disney planning DVD, and a preliminary RSVP. I am planning on making it into a box like package and adding mickey confetti and stuff like that.

Here is a picture of the Disney "Save the Dates" that went out. It's hard to see, but the booklet has a carriage outline on the front. The extra pages are inserted in the back and have the information for the tickets and the room block.

We sent out packets of information right before our save the dates went out to everyone. We told them that they would be receiving the mailings from Disney directly.

This is a weird angle, but the packets had a booklet on Disney from AAA, our first newsletter, a brochure for the airline that we are setting up a group rate through, Save the Date magnets, and a letter from us that was written on the Disney Dreams stationary that can be personalized and downloaded for free on the Disney site.

We have a great agent that worked with us at AAA. She ordered 25 booklets for us and even got some of the planning videos (a little cheesy this year, but were great for people who have never been to Disney).

Thank you for the information - and your plan sounds great! I like that alot - but where did you get the Disney Planning DVDs from? :)

[Skylarr29]

You can order them free of the official Disney world website... I have just been signing up for them over and over lol... I only needed a few so I think I did this about 5 times :goodvibes

[Raspberry Bubbles]

Ahhh.... I'll get right onto it! popcorn::

Mine were done by a professional. I am crafty, but not that crafty. I really didn't have the time to fool with it, and outsourcing all of my paper goods to people who knew what they were doing was a good deal for me!

Ha ha - I can't blame you for that! I so desperately want to make mine, but I probably will end up buying them from somewhere, knowing my luck! :goodvibes

Hey Sarah - do you still have the template? I'd love to see it!

[orangetiggs]

I dont htink i have the template she sent me as it was not working for us so we have to make our own. My pic of my save the date is in my planning journal

[Raspberry Bubbles]

I remember seeing it - it looked great! How did you make the Mickey part - just white circles?

[orangetiggs]
