Here are some questions to help stir up the creative thinking juices for developing your special custom save the date postcard design:

Where is the event ?

What is the color scheme ?

What kind of cake flavors or other food planned ?

What music is planned and what will be used for the first dance ?

What are the honeymoon plans ?

What happened on the first date and what were the first impressions ?

What is the silliest fight you have had ?

What is your favorite date spot ?

What is the most romantic gesture experienced ?

What are your sweetest nicknames ?

What are some things people would be surprised to know about you ?

When did you know you were meant to be a couple ?
