1. Multiple Pictures

The old method of putting single pictures on your save-the-date cards can be improved by featuring a few pictures. One-picture save-the-dates are a little more traditional and mundane. You can feature pictures in a chronological manner, for example the first photo featuring your courtship days, followed by an engagement photo, then a wedding shoot, or something along that line. Choose the photos that best represent the both of you.

2. Special Designs

You can design your save-the-date cards from scratch, like searching for stock paper in stationery stores and do up your own cards. Alternatively, if you have more budget and wish to put them to good use in your save-the-date, then you could approach a wedding card designer to help you with more complex and custom-made designs. If the above options do not help, try searching online for save-the-date templates. There are many online merchants available, and they have a widespread selection of designs. There will definitely be one which suits your demands.

3. Theme & Wedding Colors

Work out a theme for your wedding, and about what your wedding colors are. It is good that your save-the-date can reflect the theme and colors of your wedding event. Moreover, a save-the-date is the first impression your guests have about your wedding and what to expect at the wedding reception.

4. Big is not always good

If you have a budget issue, go small for your cards. They look neater and cost less. You can still fit multiple photos into a smaller card. Don’t forget that you don’t need too much information in a wedding save-the-date. It is just to prepare your guests for your wedding invitation, which will include more details. So you don’t really need one that is oversized. A 4” x 6” should work just fine.

5. Cards that Scratch Off

This is a new idea that you probably could use to set people talking. It may tend to get a little informal and casual by using scratch-off cards, so try not to use it if you’re going for the elegant or traditional theme.

6. Another ways

Don’t like the idea of having save-the-date cards? Try sending out magnets or bookmarks instead. They are not expensive, yet are able to capture your guests’ attention. Magnets and bookmarks are lightweight enough to be carried around, or stuck on the fridge, so that your guests can be constantly reminded of your important day.
