Fresh And Unique Save The Dates Ideas

By Carolyn Wilson


Having identified the date for your big wedding, it is time to inform your guests. Since people do not sit idle waiting for invitations, you need to compete with other people and events. This requires Unique Save the Dates cards or items that make your invitation memorable. This is your opportunity to be personal and ensure that guests look forward to your big day.

Go for uniquely shaped cards. Some people find shapes to be memorable. They also leave a lasting impression in the mind. Other than use the usual rectangle shapes, go for new shapes like diamonds, hexagons, circles, etc. Enhance the invitation by providing a hook, stand, thread to hang, etc. Provide a unique feature that makes it stand out among many other invitations.

Add a caricature on the card. Find an artist who can draw a closely resembling caricature of the bride and groom. Ensure that the drawing portrays them in celebratory mood. Such an image will be memorable. Use colors that rhyme with your theme. Even when drawing, do not stuff the page with unnecessary images. It might make your invitation to appear like a joke.

There is magic in using a vintage photograph. Weddings have been associated with vintage cars and a laughing couple. Have a vintage black and white wedding photo on your card. A classic car with flowers will perfectly present your mood. This is a distinct departure from the use of clip arts and words to pass the message. The picture should be professionally assimilated into the invitation.

Consider a sticker ticket as part of your invitation. People use stickers of different colors and shapes as reminders on computers, desks, boards, etc. Include a sticker when making your cards such that it will be pasted on a calendar or any other visible area for your guests. The sticker should capture the date and venue of your celebration.

Be artistic in your invitation. Cards are easy to forget and even discard before the wedding. To make your day memorable to all, find an artistic object like a flag, bracelet, embossed cup, etc. You may also curve the invitation on a piece of wood. The artistic feel will prevent guests from discarding your invitation. The invitation will stay beyond the actual date and into your anniversaries.

What of a multilingual invitation for your diverse friends? This idea works best when your circle includes people of different nationality and languages. Different languages enable you to accommodate all friends in a single card. Furthermore, everyone wants to feel personally invited to the occasion. The message may be printed on the same page using different languages. It saves on the cost of printing different cards for each group.

Embrace technology. Digital invitations are as effective as the use of physical cards. Record an audio or video and broadcast it to friends. You will not need to search for them physically or drop the cards from door to door. The invitation can be replayed time and again. Others will convert it into a ring tone and forever remember the date.
