Casey and Tor used a cool palette of pewter and silver on their monochromatic letterpress and foil stamped save the dates and invitations. They customized our Branch design by forgoing the rustic fonts and layout for more elegant typography. The motif was used throughout the suite including the custom envelope liner. The couple opted for classic save the dates without any additional adornment but added a destination inspired liner to pay homage to the city hosting their wedding.

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!
