Save-the-dates

9 May
Typically sent out 6 months prior to the wedding, save the dates are mainly for your out-of-town guests. If you are getting married in a busy month (May, June, October) it’s probably wise to send out save the dates to all of your guests, so that they know to reserve your wedding date on their calendars. Postcards are a great option, especially since postage is $.29 as opposed to the $.44 for letters. There are many options and layouts for postcards. I don’t like the traditional- a picture of the couple on the front and then save the date on the back. I prefer original or unusual designs. We’re currently debating on ours, whether to do a funky modern or rustic vintage style. I’ve made a rustic looking option but I haven’t made the funky option simply because we haven’t done our engagement pictures yet. Time is slipping away so I may just stick with what I have and call it done. I’m not going to fret over having the perfect save the date; I can worry over my invites! Here are some of my favorite save the dates that I’ve found around the web (mainly etsy!)
 
 
 I’m terrible with technology and can’t figure out how to link my photos to their corresponding websites and give credit to the artists. Here are the sources for these awesome save the dates; so hop on over and check them out!
