Save The Dates?

I've been thinking about Save The Dates as part of my friend's wedding preps. What is in right now? I know, it's just been three years, but I didn't really pay much attention to making save the date cards, which was all the craze back then. I just made a simple e-card (I made using powerpoint of all programs hahaha) and sent it via email to my friends, relatives, and colleagues. I wasn't really into it, just like having birth announcements when my bebe was born. Not that i'm not proud of our firstborn, it's just that... well, I didn't have any.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for S to be online, maybe I should ask her thoughts on this. In the meantime, I have yet to scout suppliers for the invites (and probably save the dtaes too if she fancies it).
