Wedding Invitations Sundays: Save the Date Postcards

Jun 10, 2012 by Pam Fossen

Unleash your creativity and have a little bit of fun with bold, cute, or super stylish Save the Date postcards. If you’re just starting to plan your big day, there’s probably a whole bunch of details you’re trying to pin down – from your sure-to-be-fabulous dress to what flowers, favors, and colors to use. So many things still to decide on, but the time to mail Save the Date cards (approx. 6 months prior to the wedding) will be upon you before you know it. Well, you can relax. You don’t have to have all your details figured out (just that ever-important date!), or even have your Save the Date cards match everything else. They can be simple, inexpensive, and a place for you to have some fun!

A very easy way to personalize your Save the Dates are with photographs of you and your intended. You could use your engagement photo, or try a collage with a few of your favourites.

But you don’t even have to get that sophisticated. Take a look at these designs below, using very simple pictograms and just the wedding date – simple, but also bold, colorful and stylish.

Or how about these vintage-inspired Save the Date postcards, that either reproduce old fashioned postcards (from Boston and California), or hearken back to old movie posters.

Save the Date postcards can be fun and playful, and if at all possible, memorable! The cuter, bolder, or more original you make it, the more your date will stick in people’s minds – so they’ll make the arrangements they need to make in order to join you for your day.
