When you’re looking to give guests a heads up that “I dos” are on the way but want to do it in a style that feels, well, like you, it’s important to find a Save the Date design that’s the perfect blend of informative, quirky, and fun.
Check out these unique Save the Dates that combine form and function to create wedding stationery you and your guests will love.
1. Love Airways
The couple that travels together stays together — or at least that’s what we’ve heard. Sharing an adventure like an around-the-world trip can certainly cement a relationship, so it only makes sense that travel-loving spouses-to-be might want a travel theme for their wedding too. Love Airways is a Save the Date that looks like an airline ticket, complete with space for your names, wedding date, and even your wedding website.
2. True Love’s Thumbprint
What’s more unique than a fingerprint? True Love’s Thumbprint captures both individuality and the magic of two souls coming together with plenty of vibrant coloring for good measure. This special Save the Date is interesting but doesn’t commit to a specific theme — perfect for couples still deciding what their big day will look like.
3. Bold Devotion
This simple, bold Save the Date lets you show off the unique or playful side of your relationship with two stacked pictures on a design that spans the gap between photobooth spontaneity and sophisticated engagement session. Bold Devotion gives just enough room for the big details and is sure to stand out in recipients' mailboxes. Opt to add foil for an even more unique Save the Date.
4. Wanted for Life
Wanted for Life? That’s what this poster, er, Save the Date is all about. You’ve found your other half and you’ll unleash an entire posse to track them down if you have to. Luckily, the only people you have to find are your guests, and they’ll be coming to you, not the other way around. Go with the western flow with an engagement photo that features the two of you in full costume or play with old vs. new by inserting a modern snapshot into the intentionally worn-looking “frame.”
5. Bold Ampersand
Make it clear you're about to become a pair with Bold Ampersand, the Save the Date that puts a unique emphasis on the "and" in any couple. This Save the Date moves easily from fun and casual to sophisticated based on the photo you upload. The photo is framed in a large, stylized ampersand, and plenty of room is left over for your names and the all-important date.
6. The Hunt Is Over
Celebrate your mutual love of the great outdoors and a future filled with weekends at the cabin when you opt for The Hunt Is Over as your Save the Date. A pair of deer and artfully rustic lettering help keep things casual. Choose a chic photo for a bit of a modern edge or go full country in waders and flannel to complement the overall rugged vibe.
7. Carnival Crush
Come one, come all, to the wedding of the century! There may not be dancing bears or a tightrope-walking lion at your reception, but throwing a carnival-themed party — complete with fresh funnel cake, midway games, and late-night concessions — can still be a wonderful way to make your nuptials extra memorable. Carnival Crush is a grown-up version of amusement park style, with perfect “big top” lettering and a striped background to emulate a day at the fair.
8. Shore Impression
Imbue your Save the Dates with the casual beach vibes you want people to pick up on for your wedding. Shore Impression is a great option if you're planning to say "I do" in the sand and the sun, but you can also use this unique Save the Date to let people know about your upcoming nuptials while including your fun personalities.
9. Jerseys
It’s game day! Or maybe not game day, but once you get engaged, it’s definitely a case of “game on.” Sports fans will cheer for Jerseys, a Save the Date that’s all about the team dynamic and celebrating big wins. Customize the jersey colors to match your favorite team, and opt for the magnet version of the final design so you can display your team spirit on their fridge.
10. Marquee Theater
Hey there, movie fans. It’s your big day — almost time to walk the red carpet and welcome guests to the world premiere of The Newlyweds. But first, use Marquee Theater to let potential guests know that you’re engaged, when the wedding will be, and where they can go on the world wide web to keep up with all the developing details. From the whimsical marquee display to the photo space lurking below, this layout gets two ecstatic thumbs up from us.
11. Mustache You to Wed
Mustache You to Wed is practically bursting with charm. From the cutesy graphics to the soft washes of color to a font that’s playful without feeling juvenile, every element of this Save the Date design was chosen to inspire the maximum number of smiles. The template uses a black-and-white photo for extra appeal, but feel free to go full color if that suits your vision.
12. Spectacular Romance
Create a unique Save the Date that puts the spotlight on your photograph. Spectacular Romance includes a few design elements, such as concentric circles arcing out at each corner, to set the stage for the design in the middle. Add fun costumes, photo effects, and props to ensure your personality as a couple shines on this Save the Date.
13. Our Song
For a pair of music lovers, it doesn't get much more on point than this fun Save the Date. Our Song is set up to look like a streaming music player, and the song up next is the ballad of your romance. Add a picture to create your own album or song cover. This Save the Date is also a great pick if one or both of you is a musician or if you have a music-inspired meet-cute.
14. Sweet Frame
This Save the Date balances traditional and contemporary. Fun, sweet fonts get your message across, and the border background has a stylish geometric block look. Customize the colors to make Sweet Frame your own, and consider adding raised foil for additional elegance.
15. Iridescent Peacock
In some cultures, peacocks represent things like beauty, sisterhood, renewal, respect, honor, integrity, good luck, and protection, while others think the eye-shaped feathers symbolize the third eye, or the ability to connect to one’s inner self and soul. They’re also just phenomenally pretty birds, which is just another reason why Iridescent Peacock is a great choice for a Save the Date.
16. Floating Dandelion
Take a breath, blow, and make a wish. Almost everyone remembers the childhood ritual of launching a fluffy dandelion seedling into the air in hopes of making their dreams come true. Back then, you wanted a new toy or for the boy or girl down the block to return your crush. Now your wishes have all come true, and Floating Dandelion stands as a tribute to your happily ever after.
17. A Message in a Bottle
Adorable and fun, A Message in a Bottle transforms a romantic trope into a beachy Save the Date that’s perfect for waterfront I dos or just a couple who wants to give guests a heads up in a fun and memorable way. Use this design to announce a destination wedding and you can follow through on the bottle motif at your wedding, using recycled wine bottles as centerpieces and to hold table numbers and even giving away tiny versions as your party favors.
18. Baseball, We Fell in Love Over Home Plate
You hit a home run when you capture the eye of your forever sweetheart, and now you can salute your superior game play with Baseball, We Fell in Love Over Home Plate. Forget strikes — you’re batting a 1000 considering you get to marry the love of your life, and this design is just right for MLB fans, couples who bonded on the company softball field, and anyone else who lives for the thrill of the game.
19. A Pair of Starfish
A Pair of Starfish is sure to give guests a giggle as they open the mail to find a pair of kooky starfish dancing across your Save the Date. Ideal for a destination wedding, this design promises tropical cocktails, sandy beaches, and the sound of the waves lapping against the shore as you say your vows and promise to love your better half for the rest of time.
20. Passport to Love
Another travel-themed Save the Date, Passport to Love salutes the thrill of exploration while hinting at all the adventures that lie in store for you and your future spouse. There’s room for a photo plus plenty of design elements that evoke the look and feel of travel documents with a slightly vintage lean.
21. Our Story
Bring the convenience and familiarity of the infographic to your Save the Date. Our Story is a unique option that lets you combine the details of your story, including when you were born and when and how you met. This fun Save the Date is a great option for larger weddings; friends and family that aren't in the daily loop can catch up on your story with one easy postcard or magnet.
22. Daring Date
Make sure no one misreads or misses the date for your wedding with Daring Date. This Save the Date places the important M-D-Y combo in stylish, large font along the right side of the design. Behind the date, a photo of your choice lets people see how much you enjoy each other's company.
23. Overlaid Date
Want the date for your big day to show up even bigger? Overlaid Date is a great choice. This option has the date front and center with a photo of your choosing in the background. The font for the date is somewhat transparent, letting the details of your photo shine through.
24. Hexagon Embrace
Going unique doesn't have to mean going flashy with your Save the Date. Hexagon Embrace stands out because of its simple geometric design. You choose two photos to showcase on this card or magnet, and there's plenty of room left for names, dates, and even a wedding website URL.
25. Modest Emotion
Choose Modest Emotion if you're looking for a downplayed unique Save the Date. The clean design and fonts make it easy to customize, and you can choose a background color that complements your photos.
26. Upload Your Own Design
Of course, one of the most unique Save the Date designs available is the one you create from scratch. You can make your own design (or have one made for you), and then upload it to MagnetStreet and our team will take care of the rest. Take part in a wonderfully quirky photo shoot, build an eye-catching design around a surprising theme like animal adoption or Halloween, or combine family elements like a Scottish tartan pattern and family crest for a result that’s as original as they come.
