Not Your Average Wedding Save the Dates

The question on every engaged couple’s mind is, usually, “how do we make our wedding day unique and memorable for us and our loved ones?” There are so many ways to make your wedding uniquely you, and comes down to even the smallest of details. One of these details is your wedding save the date design!

Your wedding stationery gives you the perfect opportunity to stand out and create a design that tells your guests who you are as a couple. Here are some out-of-the-box save the date ideas to shake up your wedding planning!

Use Throwback Photos from Your Relationship or Your Childhood

Do you ever get the Facebook notifications with photos from years ago and feel shock at how so much has changed? Well, I’m sure you and your fiance have some gems you can share with your guest list! Incorporate some of your couple photos into your save the date design. Or, you could pull some real throwback photos from your childhoods to celebrate where you both came from and where you’ve ended up (with each other)!

Send out Stickers With Your Save the Date

Help your guests remember your wedding date with some adorable calendar stickers! Yes, you can actually order save the dates with customized stickers, either with pictures of you or something else special to your big day. Send them out for kitchen calendars everywhere! They’re the perfect touch to ensure your guests look forward to your wedding all year long.

Share Your Love Story in an Infographic

Weddings are all about sharing your love story with the people you care about. Why not make your save the dates into a timeline of your relationship? You can use your first date story, the story of how you two met, or any other major milestones that you both have faced together. There are so many ways to make it pretty but also highlight the history of your relationship!

Send Seed Packets, As “Seeds of Love”

Green thumb couples will love this idea! Attach a packet of seeds to your save the date so that your guests can plant them and watch your love grow! This is a great DIY idea if ordering custom save the dates isn’t in the budget. It’s an entirely adorable idea, plus it’s eco-friendly!

How will you be sending out your save the dates? I love to hear about how couples make their wedding day as unique as they are!
