The way you announce the date of your wedding will be a reflection of the nature of the party you will give. So why not do it in a unique and fun way?
Here are some creative ideas that will make your guests mark their calendars with a smile.
Take note and tell us at the end which one is your favorite!
Original “Save the Date” with travel postcards
If there’s anything that screams “adventure” and “adorable,” it’s a travel postcard. Imagine sending a postcard with images of yourselves in your most special destinations, or with the destination of your wedding.
We thought of designing it as if it were a real tourist postcard that on the back includes a map that guides all the guests to the place of the celebration, and, of course, that includes the wedding date.
And you can use the same theme for your wedding invitations later! It is important not to forget anyone and not to leave too many, which is why we leave you here an article that talks about how many invitations you need with some tips so as not to forget anyone and not to leave them left over.
Original “Save the Date” with a creative video
You probably aren’t Hollywood producers, but you probably don’t find it difficult to capture cute moments, right, couple? You can make a compilation of adorable videos while traveling, at home, walking… Living in the digital age, this will be one of the best ways to capture the attention of your guests. You just need a little creativity, imagination and desire to have fun. The video will conclude with a “Save the Date” taking up the entire screen that will undoubtedly surprise your friends and family.
To do this, we recommend that you count on Victor Fortes, one of the best wedding videographers who will be in charge of professionally creating for you the best Save the date that you have ever imagined.
Original “Save the Date” with a personalized calendar
Are you one of those who take photos with everyone? This idea will be great for you! Nothing better to count down than a calendar, so, here’s an idea for an original “Save the Date”!
You can design a common personalized calendar for all guests in which you mark the wedding day in a special way, and in which what changes are the photos for each month, which will be yours with the corresponding friend or family member. It is important that you choose a theme, for example, maritime elements and fresh colors if the wedding is going to be on the beach, or a rustic and vintage style if it is going to be more classic. What is clear is that it must reflect your essence.
For your personalized calendar and some movie photos, we recommend you contact the photographers at Sarts Producciones, they will find the perfect calendar to announce your date!
Original “Save the Date” with travel labels
Does the wedding require guests to travel? Then travel labels will be ideal for an original “Save the Date”. Imagine guests opening an envelope and instead of the typical card, they find a personalized travel label that indicates that a celebration is coming soon!
This idea will provoke the excitement of a trip in your guests, and will also reflect what you are about to do, embark on a new journey together! It is important that it is also personalized with elements that you like and that remind them of you.
In addition, it is a super practical detail, since you can use it on all your trips as a complement to your suitcase. You will always accompany them!
Original “Save the Date” with magnets
We know that magnets are very typical, but who doesn’t have a magnet on the refrigerator? Your guests won’t be able to resist putting these fun little details on the refrigerator.
Since it is something they are going to see every day, it has to be as cute as possible. A heart-shaped magnet, a photo of you and the wedding date with beautiful typography, what do you think?
Furthermore, the way you send them is important, and we have thought about a small box with tissue paper, some snacks such as sweets, chocolates or nuts, and the magnet buried in all this. Super original!
Original “Save the Date” with a puzzle-type invitation
How about an invitation that is a puzzle? This idea is not only creative, but also adds a fun element to the way your loved ones will receive the news.
Imagine sending your friends and family puzzle pieces that, when put together, reveal the date and details of your wedding. This interaction will make your guests feel like they are part of a game, and the moment they manage to put the puzzle together will be exciting.
You can order personalized puzzles online with a photo of yourself or a wedding-related design, and don’t forget the essential message: date and place!
Original “Save the Date” with a Pre-Wedding Kit
In case you don’t know what it is, a Pre-Wedding Kit is a set of elements selected according to the taste of the couple and taking into account who it is intended for, which will help you with the original “Save the Date”. Not only will it provide them with the necessary information, but it is a very good way to create anticipation among your guests.
A very nice feature is that it can be 100% personalized to reflect your personality and history as a couple. Plus, having friends and family receive a package with details will make the moment memorable and create connection.
Among the elements that must be present we find the essential thing, which is the card that reveals the date of the wedding, some personal memory with the recipient (a Polaroid-type photograph, a concert ticket that you went to together in the past…), a small gift like a candle, candy, mini bottle of alcohol… you know your guests better than anyone and what they prefer to find in the kit!
