Wedding Save the Date Ideas
Wedding Sabe The Date
The first impression for your wedding guests is your Save the Date announcement. It will set the tone and give excitement for your upcoming wedding day. There are many options for how to announce this special occasion.
Here are some tips on selecting your save the date:
1. Think about the tone. Do you want it to be funny? Or formal? Do you want it to match your theme and/or colors? Will you include photos of you two? etc.
2. Make sure to keep the info simple. You don't need to include all of the details (you may not have all this information at this time anyway). Just make sure to put the date, location (or city if you don't have exact location yet), your names, and website info (if applicaple) where they can find out more details.
3. We recommend to send out your announcements at least 6-8 months before your wedding so your guests can start saving and planning for the big day.
Here are some unique ideas to use for your Save the Date:
I love this idea for destination weddings where your guests will need a passport to attend.
This save the date handkerchief is a keepsake that could even be used on the wedding day. This is a great idea for vintage themed weddings.
This is such a classic and straight forward announcement that lets your guests know all the details about your upcoming day.
This save the date is perfect for beach or tropical weddings.
This scratch off save the date is a creative, yet simple, way for your guests to be interactive with your announcement.
This announcement is great for outdoor, garden weddings. It is so creative and fun! The seed packets can be found on etsy.com.
This is a fun card to open for your guests as the info comes stringing out. It is great for those DIY brides.
I know we've all heard or seen this message in a bottle save the date, but I just love it! It can be quite expensive to put together and shipping costs, but well worth that first impression from your guests. You can be very creative with this announcement by adding whatever you want in the bottle. Great for any style of wedding.
