Hi there
Save the Date cards are a fantastic way of letting your guests know the date of your wedding and asking them to keep the date free in their diaries, as you say this is a key factor when you are planning a wedding around the busy holiday season.
I have provided these for couples who have sent them out over a year in advance with a tagline at the bottom "Formal invitation to follow". You can then send your formal invitations out around 3 months before.
If you would like to take a look at my site, http://www.justforyoucardsandinvitations.com I can provide hand made stationery from Save the Dates right through to stationery for on the day.
Enjoy your planning and your special day
Julie
