If you receive a postcard from the couple letting you know the date of their wedding, are you supposed to reply to it? Or is it really just a way for the couple to inform their friends of the date? Obviously I would reply to a wedding invitation, but if I receive a Save-the-Date postcard, is it necessary for me to tell the couple whether or not I'll be attending their wedding? Or is waiting for the invitation and replying then good enough?

No, you don't need to reply to the postcard. Save-the-date cards are sent so that valued guests (like you) will be able to make plans around the big day and will therefore be more likely to attend; it is not an invitation, just a heads up.

I would simply wait for the actual invitation. A formal reply probably isn't required of a save the date. Of course, when you see the couple I would mention to them you received their save the date announcement, and are looking forward to attending their wedding, or whatever.

No need to respond to it it lets you know that you will get a wedding invite soon.

What they are for are for people who need the know advance to take time off off work or make travel plans. It is just to let you know so the is no need to reply

No reply is needed. It's just a polite way to give an advance warning.

You don't need to respond, it's just their way to tell you to save that date for them and their wedding. Usually, when we get a save the date, I call the bride or groom just to tell them that we got it, it's cute, and we're excited for their wedding. Brides love hearing that, I know I did!
