    People get busy, so I lean toward thinking they are a good idea so that friends and family that are not super close can plan ahead.

    I have only ever gotten two. One came in the form of a cute magnet with their engagement photo. The other, we just got tonight, made me giggle. It is from my guy's sister, who he hasn't spoken to in years. It is a cheap ass little orange construction paper, not even cut straight with their names, and date of their wedding.

    I worked for a calligrapher for over a year-- he would say YES.

    These are notifications that I can expect to be invited to something before I'm invited? I'm with Supernova on this one. Never heard of it.

    No, they aren't. When you send the invitation, the date is on there. People who received know whether they want to save the date or not.
