'Save the Date’ cards

It's a date

So you’ve set the date for the big day, congratulations. A sudden rush of joy comes over you....then it’s followed by panic, what to do next....dress hunting? Florist visits? Invitation designs?...the list is endless, but let’s get the most important thing sorted first: Telling your loved ones the all important date.

Whilst shouting it from the rooftops may get you noticed by the neighbours, what about those further a field? Save the Date cards not only get the job done but they are the starting point to the theme of your Wedding day. They are the first touch point with your guests and give them an insight in to your colours, style and tradition.

I’m sure I’m not alone having received bookmarks and even mugs (yes, I had a Save the Date mug sent to me once!) but why disguise your date, show your guests loud and proud when your big day is and give them something that’s easy to keep. I adore the business card sized ‘Save the Date’ cards, not only is it perfectly shaped to fit in to that purse or wallet and will be carried around day in, day out, but it’s one of the cheapest options available! A business card after all in it’s very essence is made for keeping and sharing, so why not use it to your advantage and give it to all your friends and family to keep your date safe in their diary, hearts and purses.

Here is recent example I did for a newly engaged couple Laura & Phillip who saved their date. They opted for 2011’s Pantone Colour of the Year – Honeysuckle. The ‘Save the Date’ was printed on a luxury 300gsm silk card stock and was Matt Laminated on both sides for that extra lovely feel.

Naomi @aislerock thanks us!

I recently had the pleasure of designing Wedding invitations for the very lovely Naomi. For those he don't know Naomi, she goes under the alias of @aislerock on Twitter and has an adoration of Tweeters!


Naomi liked a good plan and as such, got the chance to write a few articles on the infamous Rock My Wedding blog. To my amazement Naomi wrote such a lovely thank you to me for designing her uber Wedding invitations, it brought tears to my eyes so I wanted to share it with you all too.

"Invitations. You remember I was doing them myself? I had allocated a good month to get them designed, printed and sent. Queue day two of the design part, I experienced a massive Photoshop fail and in my huff decided to punt out a plea on Twitter for a designer to take over for me as I was failing miserably doing it myself. I received a ba-jillion tweets from designers offering their services, but one stood out from the rest. Lynsey from You Say I Make. She offered me help and encouragement to complete the task myself. She calmed me down, told me not to throw in the towel and kindly sent me email after email of free font websites and design tutorials. After a few more goes… I gave up. It was too much for me to take on at that moment in time and as I had received so much faith and support from Lynsey, I felt totally comfortable handing the whole thing over to her.



I was blown away when I received the box with all our invites… It rendered me speechless. After only a few emails and a 3 week turnaround, Lynsey had managed to capture exactly what I had planned in my head and make it real for me. I was so disheartened when I first started struggling, and I can hand on my heart say that Lynsey single handedly pulled me out of that and created a beautiful set of invitations that have perfectly set the mood for our day. Every one of our guests have raved about them!"
