That’s where Save the Date wedding insurance comes in! It’s wedding day safety if anything goes wrong. It’ll cover you if your venue cancels, your cake goes MIA, or your DJ ghosts you (rude). In this feature we break down what is wedding insurance, why it’s important and why every couple needs it!
If there was one thing engaged couples desperately need, it was a new, super cute, straightforward, wedding insurance. And that's how Save the Date was born!
When planning a wedding, it's highly likely you might face some unexpected challenges. Like a florist who ghosts you, a caterer who falls ill or even a venue that cancels last minute. Save the Date is here to protect you and your bank account if things don't go according to plan. If any sudden cancellations occur or someone's fallen ill, your payments will be covered.
The best time to purchase wedding insurance is... when you send out your Save the Dates! As soon as you start investing in your wedding, such as securing the venue, booking suppliers, and even purchasing your wedding stationery, your money is at risk long before the big day. It’s better to be safe than sorry, right? By getting your wedding insurance policy early in advance, you can relax and enjoy planning your special day from the very start.
As we know wedding insurance can cover a lot, but not everything. If someone gets cold feet or if you simply want to personally change the date, venue or even getting married altogether, your policy won’t cover the costs. It also won’t include things like bad weather, pre-existing medical conditions, or your honeymoon.
However, you can still protect your personal belongings while you’re away on your honeymoon. With Arma Karma, you can get covered from just £3.99 a month! So your rings, tech, eyewear, and so much more are protected. To get a quote click here.

Our deluxe package also offers exclusive coverage for Wedding Stationery and Professional Counselling that isn’t available in the other packages.

So many couples have faced last-minute nightmares they never saw coming. These real-life stories are proof that wedding insurance can be a true lifesaver when disaster strikes.
