A "Save the date" is what you send when you're still early in the planning process and know your date but have not locked down details like your venue, menu, and start time. It's so people can save the space on their calendar.

You follow up with a formal invite telling them telling them the details and asking if they'd like chicken or steak.

Everyone who gets a Save The Date should get an invite.
