by: A Clever Way to Create DIY Photo Save the Dates
Looking for a way to save time, money {and effort} on your own DIY photo save the dates? Save the dates are one of those areas where you can have some fun, express your couples' personality, and be super creative—all without too much expense! Our blank Save the Date templates open the door for TONS of design opportunity.
Meet Matt and Maria. This clever duo turned a fab engagement party in the park into a crafty opportunity. Following the fun, they designed and ordered 24 different versions of MagnetStreet photo save the dates to send out to guests. Wow!
How they did it: They created 24 designs from scratch and uploaded each onto our blank Save the Date templates. Then they ordered each design using our Just One® personalized sample program.
We figured if people had something with their own faces in the frame, they would get something that felt really personalized and special.
"It was during our engagement party in a park. The original plan was that we were going to set up a photo booth sort of thing with the frame and sign with our date on them. We ran short on time and instead just opted to run around with people and frame them with us. It was a fun trick, made people feel involved, and got people excited and moving around."
"We chose different versions so that everything felt more personalized. We've gotten a good amount of save the dates that just go on the fridge but don't get a second look. Also, it was a way to make people feel more involved with the wedding."
"The lighting isn't perfect in every picture because it wasn't staged as well as I would have liked (I'm a photographer). But in the end, I think it worked out nicely!"
Final breakout: 24 DIY photo save the dates
23 designs featuring Matt and Maria with each party attendee/group {to send to each person or group in the photo} + 1 design featuring Matt and Maria alone {to send to those not at the party}.
And the niftiest part about this project? Each person will get a very personalized keepsake magnet with their wedding reminder!
We wish Matt and Maria only the best in the future. And by the looks of their save the date photos, they'll certainly be surrounded by a beautiful, happy bunch of friends and family on the big day! xo
