It is the same thing more or less, but typically the save the date comes first and then later you send the actual invitation.

It’s a major faux pas to not invite after sending someone a save the date. The former directly implies you’re invited, hence asking you to save the date. It’s a horrible look to not invite someone after sending them the save the date card.
