I don't think STDs would be overkill if you are really wanting to send them. Depending on how many of your guests make it to the engagement party, they may be more or less necessary than you think. If you do decide to send them, I would probably wait until February or March though so that it's a very separate correspondence (and it doesn't overwhelm people).
After having just sent ours out, I think it would be overkill and realize that we should have put the password to our wedding website on our STDs (great idea to print it). I was kind of disapointed to realize the date was not a suprise to anyone since we booked the venue 9 months ago and let a lot of the guests know so they could plan travel accordingly. We will be sending the STDs to local guests next month and I expect it will be less redundant since not everyone knows the date. In your case, I would suggest just mailing out the Moo cards to those who were not at the Engagement party about 6 months before the wedding, earlier if they will need to book flights, so they can plan ahead.
@ slicey19- That's a good idea.. maybe I'll make up a little postcard to insert the Moo cards into, and send it to people who don't get one at the Engagement party and weren't invited.
My stationary loving heart is so sad, but I'm a kind of low-key bride who doesn't like to be made the center of attention, and I was getting uncomfortable about sending people so many reminders about myself :(
I was a bit on the fence about ordering Save the Dates since a majority of people would not be traveling. Well, people kept asking me about the date and our wedding is Valentine's weekend, so I decided to just go for it. I am getting ready to send out next week so we have to be 100% sure these people will be invited.

We're getting married in October (hehe, now that it's November, I don't need to right NEXT October!), and my parents are throwing us an engagement in early December. Our wedding website is password protected, so I made up little Moo cards with our engagement photos on the back, and our wedding date, wedding website, and password on the front, to give out at the engagement party (and also to give out through the year, when friends and family ask us for the password).
I had planned on sending out Save the Dates early in 2010, but is it overkill to invite these people to our engagement party, hand them a card with our info on it, and then send them a Save the Date, too? Should I just assume they already have the date saved? But there are people who aren't going to be at the party who would need a Save the Date... should I not send it to people who went to the Engagement Party?
