I recently read an entertaining article in which the author describes his cousin’s reaction to receiving a save the date notice in the mail. His response... invitation by intimidation. It was definitely a funny take on the perils of opening one's mailbox.
Life is busier than ever and we’re juggling all kinds of schedules. This is one of the reasons save the dates have become a fun necessity. Engaged couples send out save the dates to spread their engagement news in a fun and creative way and to also help ensure that their wedding date is secured with their favorite people. From wedding date announcements to anniversaries to quinceañera, to reunions, etc, sending out save the dates has become part of our culture~ a standard. Here are a couple of wedding Save the Date magnet designs from our online gallery. Since there aren't any save the date etiquette rules, couples have lots of freedom. They can introduce guests to their color scheme, wedding theme~ beginning with the save the dates and coordinating them with everything from the invites to the flowers, to the table favor to the thank you card. Or, they can simply introduce guests to an aspect of their personality, be it classic, elegant, formal, zany, humorous, offbeat...FUN! What's your save the date style?
