Your Save-The-Date is what’s going to make a first impression with your guests. It’s the first thing they’ll receive that sets the tone and personality of your wedding.

Is your wedding going to be fun and quirky? Traditional and romantic? Energetic and whimsical? How about some fun ideas like these?

• A box of match sticks would “Let the Sparks Fly”
• Everybody has a sweet tooth. In a small box, send a packaged sugar cookie with your date written in icing. Include a card/note with it, in case someone eats your Save-The-Date!
• Send a CD to your guests and call it “Songs That We Fell In Love To.” On the cover of the CD, include your Save-The-Date message. It’s flat, personal, easy to mail, and is something your guests will keep.
• Send a pencil through the mail. Use a piece of card stock with your wedding date information and tape a pencil to it (or use a hole punch to slide a pencil through) with the phrase “Please Pencil Us In!”
• Calendar
