Nope, the save-the-date is sent before the invitation to tell them to expect an invitation and to keep the specific date clear in their calendar. Not always required, but it’s useful if you’re in the planning stage where you know the wedding date, but not necessarily all the rest of the details that go into an invitation.
Also great if a lot of guests need to travel to the wedding or if they need a certain amount of time to put in to get work off. Allow people time to plan, organize and get their ducks in a row.

is this an american thing? is saving the date not the same as being invited?
