First things first, choosing a date is key. Once the date's booked, next comes the STD. For a local wedding, sending your save the date four to six months prior to the wedding is standard etiquette. Planning a destination wedding? We suggest to send six to twelve months in advance.

By sending save the dates, friends and family will appreciate the heads-up and you'll be able to better plan your special day. We've got retro and rustic, cute and cool coming in several different shapes and sizes for you. Customize your own save the date and get your creativity flowing!

In the spotlight, we're absolutely head over heels for save the date postcards! Convenience is key during this busy time of planning, and this postcard is simple and spacious to include all important wedding details:

Save the Dates don't just come in one shape and size. Besides offering twelve paper types, we also offer six different shapes, from tag to bracket and scallop, to help you find the perfect look and feel.

There's something about receiving a paper invitation in the mail that simply makes us smile. Save the dates don't just come in the form of a card, though. Our photo magnet announcements help you make your amazing announcement in a modern way. With these nifty magnets, we're sure no one will forget your date to come.

Seal the deal with a special save the date stamp. We know your detail oriented friends will love this nice touch.
