Save the Date!

Save the Dates have become the norm. While at one time they were used primarily by Brides and Grooms who hoped to secure their out of town guests and simply have them “save the date,” they are now sent out for all types of events, including Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and are often sent to entire guest lists. If nothing else, they force planners to start organizing their guest list, beginning the often tedious task of gathering guest addresses. This saves money--and added stress--helping to avoid spending rush fees for invitation calligraphy, or corrections due to hasty typing mistakes. It also allows planners to have a better idea of their budget.

Save the Dates can range from simple announcements asking guests to save the date, giving minimal information such as names, dates, locations, and the typical "formal invitation to follow" text. They can also include website information, accommodation information, other weekend event information, or anything else you'd like to include.

The Save the Dates offered at Sweet Emotions range in styles and prices. Here are a few of our recent favorites:

Blake's Save the Date was designed to complement his "Tree of Life" and Nature theme. This letterpress design was customized on arturo paper with a dual ink design.

Ashleigh & Justin's Postcard Save the Date was designed using a romantic picture of the couple as the postcard front, with an informative back. We played on the letters of the couple's name to play up the wedding theme by highlighting "I Do"

Amy & Chad's Save the Date was designed with multiple pages to include the couple's wedding information and accommodation information while still exuding an elegant feel. The black and white design is highlighted with a Claret hued ribbon--tied in a "knot"-- which binds the pages together.

If the color palette or "theme" is known at the time of selecting the Save the Dates, many planners are opting to coordinate the Save the Dates with the rest of the event stationery. Here are a few samples of some various types of save the dates:
