I'd definitely go less formal then to make it fit the media.

Not always the case, the first you know the date may well be the "save the date" because there may be friends you don't see that often and relatives who might not even know you've got engaged, or you may know they've got engaged but no date set and the save the date invite is your first notice of the actual date.

Add to that many brides these days go in for super fancy invites but those are usually sent out 3 or so month ahead, the save the dates can be a year ahead or more especially for destination weddings and weddings at school holiday times.

That's probably why they don't make sense to me tbh. I wouldn't invite people that I don't see often enough for them to know we were engaged to the wedding. I have family I don't see often because they don't live close, but we speak often enough for them to know we were engaged.

I'd just have a small wedding, I wouldn't be inviting long lost cousins or relatives I never see just because they're relatives. I'd rather have my friends there instead.
