Cute Save the Date Idea


Wanting to send Save the Dates,but  haven't ordered anything yet and quickly running out of time?  Set aside an evening this week and send some fun valentines to your friends and family.  If you have time to spare, grab a red Sharpie and write our wedding info on the back. 

If you're running out of time, print your info on labels and slap them on the back.  These Save the Dates are casual and fun, so you don't have to follow the same rules as formal invitations.
 
Save the Date Primer
  • Include your name, wedding date and city/state.  
  • Include the line "Formal invitation to follow", "Details to follow," etc.
  • Make sure your invitation list is final before sending Save the Dates. You don't want them to save the date, then decide you can't afford for them to be there.  Ouch. 
  • Remember that Save the Dates don't have to be sent to everyone on your guest list - just the ones you really want to be there.  Just make sure you play fair and treat everyone in the same circle of friends in the same way. 
A final word to the wise: You can certainly put the valentines in the envelopes that come with them, but you need to insert them in a standard size envelope for mailing.

If this idea isn't your cup of tea, and you're looking for something a bit more "in the box," contact our VIP Vendor The Happy Envelope to design a Save the Date reflective of your personal style. 


Happy Planning,

Sonya
