The wedding date is a milestone event in your life. Although the wedding planning process takes an enormous amount of time, the date and the guest list are two of the first items you have to decide on with your spouse after your engagement. Once you’ve confirmed with the wedding venue and the date is set in stone, the best way to formally invite your guests and ensure they will keep their calendars event free on the day of your wedding is through a Save the Date card or photo.

Photographers Save The Date photos

Save the Date photo sessions are simplistic and fun in nature and not a formal wedding photoshoot session this should be fun. Usually you will use in the size of A5 or A6 they include nothing, but a “Please Save the Date” statement, your names a date and a venue.  Sometimes parents will want to send out an official invite, so include the text “invitation to follow” statement.  However, that must not stop you from thinking outside the box with both invitation wedding stationary.
Your Save The Date card should reflect the style of your wedding. While having a designer help you out may be helpful, it is not as necessary. The basic thing you have to look for is the style. For example, if your wedding is formal, a classic font and traditional card will do. However, if you are planning a less formal wedding or a more special celebration, your card should contain tips and should be inspired by your wedding idea. Furthermore, you might design your card in the style of the wedding venue itself.
For example, if your wedding is a Destination Wedding in London, you might consider making special Save the Date cards that reflect the spirit of London and have the prewedding photo session, using a London bus.

2015 weddings are here

As 2015 is right around the corner and you haven’t send out your wedding invitations, consider sending out just a Save the Date as your invitation so your wedding guests have some advanced warning about your Big Day.

Of course if your wedding is at a Destination wedding venue and overseas that requires a trip, you should send Save the Date card as early as possible. Thus, they will be able to save up and book up flights and accommodation at the most affordable prices possible.

Alternatively you should consider a more noteworthy Save the Date idea, especially if you love creativity and outside the box thinking. For example a small movie sent via You Tube, you might consider a book bookmark, a personalized fridge magnet, a balloon that requires blowing up to see the message or bespoke printed match boxes. As long as your message is clear and it reflects your wedding style. Feel free to explore your creative spirit.

At the end of the day, this is your special day, thus you are free to do whatever you see fit. However, if your wedding is 2015, be sure to send out your Save the Date s, as early as possible.
