I would also mention a location, and your wedding website (if you have one).
It sounds good! But maybe shorten the second sentence a bit..like, "Please mark your calendars with the day our families will unite"? I dunno...JoJo brings up a good point about location!
Sounds cute! I would think about removing the second exclamation point and use "Please mark your calendars for the day on which we have decided..." instead of using with/that. Or what Penga suggested sounds great too.
crebre80 you went and changed your avatar!! shame on you I am so used to seeing diva! Anyway, I agree add the local...if you add the wedding website it might get crowded......we skipped it on ours and will include it on a slip of paper that the magnet will be mounted to.
@bluebutterfly: lol yeppers i knew folks would be confused, but it's my new monogram (i hope m doesn't veto it but that's another post)...
i'm not doing a wedding website (remember i'm really anti-stds so this is like pulling teeth)... it's a lot for me to try to maintain my bus website and a wedding one AND my blog lol!! so i will probably do a newsletter and shoot an email to everyone (my mom's family has a huge email list already compiled so i can definitely do it that way)...
i agree that it's very wordy... and i have gone and made it MORE wordy. i have stupid on the brain right now...

If you would like to subscribe to our wedding information (including hotels discounts, flight information, and more) subscription list, please email blah blah blah.

Formal Invitation to Follow
My wording was:
"Save the date for the
"Wedding of A + K August x, 2010"
in town, state
For further information on travel, lodging and activities please visit (our wedding website)"
i used round stickers for the "wedding of a+k august 2010" so that people can peel them off and use them on calendars.
i thought about using, please mark your calendars, but it didn't end up looking good on my finished product, so i just went with save the date.
i like that too... i want to send it out in more of a postcard type format do you think that would work? I wanted it to read something like an old school post card that people would send in the victorian age (but of course it wasn't a post card back then).
We’re getting married!! Please save the date. We have chosen a quaint bed and breakfast in blah blah, Louisiana to exchange our vows.

I think it's a bit wordy, but i like the newest the best, given that you don't have a website I think it really fills in the areas that people really need to know about! :o) Great joB!
@azin: it's really wordy i agree. grrr but i don't know if i want to do a website etc (especially after maintaining my pro one and blog)... i am thinking about maybe sending out a newsletter via email that tell people more... I wanted it to be more personable (hence the long drawn out wording) but heck I dunno..
any additional suggestions are appreciated.
How about...
SAVE THE DATE!!
Seems like an email would be just as much work as a website, though, minus the fact that sometimes people don't check websites! Making sure it's not getting caught by spam filters and getting the right address... ugh, that makes my head hurt!
@KM: i haven't really worked the logistics out of it yet. Most of my family (on mom's side) has my email anyway and we emial regularly with family newsletters so it's something everyone's accustomed to doing... my dad's family, i'm not too sure but they'll be okay or in constant contact anyway i'm sure.
Hey crebre, I'd have it say "we look forward to celebrating..." instead of just "look forward to celebrating..." Without the "we," it can sound a little like a command. I'm an English teacher, I can't help it with these little things!
@carrie: lmao i am commanding them to show up!! LOL!!! LOL!!! but you're right!
My wording is really low word count! i think i missed some stuff out.....
my wording is
Save the date
A & A
are getting married on 11th August 2012
Invitation to Follow
I wanted something that was straight to the point, and because all the other details appear on the invitations, it was purely letting people know the date......
but i cant help but think i should have also written
...........and would love you to be present......
but i didnt think until it was too late, and its off to print now. i have ordered fridge magnets from Vistaprint......
