Save the Date Invitation Ideas
Save the dates invitations are great ideas to send out if you’re planning a destination wedding or a wedding during a popular time of year such as summer or the holidays. This way people can plan their vacations and events around your wedding or save to make the trip to your destination. While you can send out an ordinary card saying “save the date” and the date of your wedded bliss there are a lot of more creative, festive and fun ways to get the same point across, here’s some ideas.
Magnets
Magnets are perfect because people can stick them to their fridge and have a constant reminder of the date whereas other items may simply be put in a drawer and forgotten about thus largely defeating the purpose of the save the date in the first place. These magnets can have a photo of the happy couple or just the information printed on it. Lots of online printers make these relatively inexpensively. You can even make them yourselves if you’re crafty and have a few spare hours.
Message in a bottle
An inventive and fun idea if you’re having a beach wedding or exotic destination wedding. Send out a “message in a bottle.” Guests will love receiving a long lost message from you. Print out your save the date message on a small piece of paper or write them out by hand in Old English style writing with an ink calligraphy pen then roll the paper like a scroll and place in an empty bottle. You’ll have to check with your postal service about how to send these out. Some companies online take care of this complete service for you if you’d rather leave it up to someone else.
Postcards
Make a postcard inviting everyone to save the date for your big day. If you’re planning a destination wedding send postcards out from the city of the wedding giving guests a look at the scenery and a moment to daydream about taking a vacation getaway to see you say “I do.” Postcards are simple and inexpensive.
Photo booth pictures
Have some real fun and take a strip of photo booth pictures with each one having you hold a different sign that reads “save the date” and the date of your wedding.
