On this save the date postcard the couple used the title: “We’re Engaged”.

This seemed to be a nice simple title that grabbed attention and immediately gave the key information on what the postcard was about.  Announcing the engagement sets the wheels in motion as to everyone wanting to know when is the wedding planned.

Then the back of the postcard gives the details about the when and where of the special event.  This gets back to the purpose of a save the date card:

• announcement of the event
• details on the who, when and where of the event
• enough information for the person reading to make plans to attend

We live in a very busy world and folks really appreciate having time to make plans to participate in attending a wedding.  So it is a courtesy to send out save the date cards with enough advance time for folks to easily make their plans.

Here is this example card:   (front side with photo, back with information)

Sometimes your wedding or other event plans are in a location that might be well known for you but not to those you want to invite.  A map might be quite helpful for those you send your Save the Date to so they can understand well where your event is at.

Helping invitees understand your plan well is a basic reason for sending Save-the-Date postcards.

Here is an example of a Save the Date postcard using a map that we have printed:

Consider whether a map might be helpful for your Save the Date postcards.

Many folks like the feeling offered by a good black and white photo for their card.  I think a black and white photo offers a feel of  age.  It this way this feeling of long lasting age supports the feeling of a long lasting tradition in love and marriage.

Using a good photo of the bride and goom smiling in a casual environment can express just what is desired for a nice Save the Date card.  It can share the bliss of being in love.

One of the fun Save the Date card designs we have worked on has been when we were sent photos of the bride and groom when they were young.   It is way of bringing up memories for friends and family to talk about and enjoy.
