Save The Date Wedding Invitations
And Save Money.
Save the date wedding invitations are a great way of keeping your wedding date to the forefront of your guests’ minds. After all you don't want them planning something else that clashes with your big day. They are usually postcard-shaped with a magnet for attaching to the fridge for easy reference. They can also be a good way of keeping your stationery costs down, as they are simpler than traditional wedding invitations.You may have already considered sending out save the date cards or save the date magnets to your guests as soon as you set the date with the venue. If however you have decided against sending these out to help reduce your costs, you can still send out invitations that have a fun twist on the save the date theme. The added bonus is that they should be easier and cheaper to make than standard cards, as they usually take the form of a postcard rather than a folded card. You should also consider sending them out to your guests a little earlier than normal. Steps involved in making save the date wedding invitations: - Create your design. You can use an existing photo, manipulate a picture using a picture editing programme or get a local print company to design it for you (check out my article on picture wedding invitations).
- Come up with the wording you want for the back of the card (or if you are feeling very creative you could hand-write each one and personalise them. But bear in mind, if you have a lot to do it will take a long time to hand write them).
- Buy some small stick on magnets or magnetic strips to attach to the rear of your card. That way, your guests can stick them on the fridge and have a constant reminder of your wedding date.
- Buy blank postcards or postcard sized card and print the image onto the front and the text onto the rear. Finally stick on the magnet and you are ready to go.
- The images below show a quick mock up I was able to prepare in around 5 minutes on my PC, but you can be as creative as you like. You could use a photo of the two of you (perhaps from your engagement party) or mix in some clipart images etc.
So, as an alternative to save the date magnets or cards, save the date wedding invitations can be a fun way of adding a little personal twist to the traditional wedding invitation and hopefully save you some money as well. If they suit your personality, fun wedding invitations are a great way of getting your guests excited about your big day.Related Articles:
