You met the one, you have the ring, you set the date – now you need to make the big announcement! Save the dates are a great way to let your guests know when you plan on getting married. Save the dates are the first glimpse of what’s to come when it comes to your wedding, so make sure they deliver the style and vibe you’re going for. Save the dates can also be a little less formal than invitations, so this gives you a chance to get creative!
[Our dapper Vintage Charm save the dates set the tone for a swanky wedding weekend in California.]
[Minimalistic and to the point – our Bold Stripe delivers all the vital information in a stylish layout.]
[Did you know that we can letterpress a border for you to adhere your own photos to our cards? That’s exactly what this Branch save the date did!]
[If you can’t find a save the date that fits your style we can create a custom design for you — or we can accept custom submitted designs so that your save the dates are 100% you!]
[Impress your guests with custom hand calligraphy like our Amor save the dates.]
[What says a fall wedding like rustic colors and a charming woodsy styled save the date? Our Overlook doesn’t disappoint.]
[If you’re getting married in specific city, why not make that the theme? Our Charmed Washington DC is perfect for any event in the nation’s capital.]
Save the dates are typically sent 6-12 months before the wedding. We have save the dates in all different styles, from vintage to rustic to modern. If you need help figuring out which design would work well for your wedding, please feel free to contact us! We offer a comprehensive personal shopper survey to help narrow down colors, designs, and choices, too, so don’t worry if you’re not sure where to start. And if you’re stuck trying to figure out how to word your save the date, be sure to check out our etiquette suggestions.

It’s quite often that our friends at Gus & Ruby Letterpress send us requests to print cards with a nautical theme – keep in mind they are of course located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We love the fact that the design elements on these are kept quite minimal, not going overboard – and the rope motifs literally tie everything together on these.

One of our favorite things about the real weddings from our brides & grooms are the fantastic wedding venues they choose. Chelsea and David held their wedding at Blue Hill at Stone Barns to create a perfectly rustic New York farm wedding in an unforgettable setting. The Splendor design by Maura Gaulthier looks like it was designed specifically for this wedding. We aren’t the only ones in love with this wedding – Style Me Pretty also featured it with more gorgeous photos from Bryce Covey Photography and Robert Sukrachand.
From the bride, “David and I both love that special something that happens when great people, good food, and yummy wine come to the table to share a meal and we wanted to curate that experience for our wedding. Once we decided on Blue Hill, the stage was set for all of the other elements to fall into place. Our whimsical and romantic invitations from Bella Figura provided the first insight into the vision of our day and each item on our checklist seemed to build upon the last. From my dress to our Hudson Valley Honey favors, everything was thought of in relation to the bigger picture. We wanted the day to be stunning, but we kept coming back to that word “comfortable” as we considered every decision.”
