Save the Dates

Happy Monday! One thing that I didn't get to do with wedding planning is pick Save the Dates. We planned our wedding in four months so the idea of spending money on save the dates was not realistic. With not being able to have these fun announcements, I find myself looking at them a lot. I love Save the Dates. L-O-V-E them. I am amazed at how a simple reminder of your upcoming nuptials can come in so many forms. Your save the date could be a postcard, magnet, movie poster, photo strip, small movie, CD cover, photo and any other creative idea you can think of.

While writing this post I had so much fun looking for creative ideas. Some are so fun while others are truly romantic. I love when you can see just how happy a couple is. Remember that your Save the Date is important. It is the first glimpse guests see of your wedding style. When thinking of ideas for your Save the Date remember to keep the invitation in mind. If you have not thought about what you your invitation will look like this is the perfect time. The two should correspond and compliment one another.

Regardless of your personal taste, make the Save the Date reflect your style as a couple. If you are fun, make your Save the Date show off your goofy and quirky side. If you are a more serious couple, show off your romantic and loving side. Be yourself! That is probably the number ONE wedding tip because who you are is the best bride and groom you can be! Enjoy all the pictures. I know I did!
