Saving the Date...

The one thing I know for sure, when it comes to our save the dates, I want to include a picture from our engagement shoot...I haven't seen them yet, but we specifically chose our e-shoot locations to use the photos for the Save the Date. We wanted something that reflected our relationship so we chose Salve, where we started. We also wanted some shots to showcase our wedding locale, so we took shots all over Newport. Now we just need to get them in and decide which to use!

I have been planning on working on our Save the Dates as soon as the photos come (which is hopefully this week). Although I still had no clue what I really wanted to do for them. Until I saw Miss Duckling's post on Weddingbee. I am in love with her Save the Dates.
I think they are so unique and inspiring. I love the details.


How cute is the actual date? It's like opening up a surprise!

Although I am in love with her Save the Dates, I don't want to exactly copy them. I'm hoping when we receive our photos, I'll feel totally inspired and an idea will just come to me...in the mean time.......

Does anyone else have any creative suggestions? What are the most unique Save the Dates you have seen?

I loved that STD as well.. it was so adorable. I dont have any ideas for you other than maybe a postcard, it has become very popular... and cost effective.

ooh...how pretty! i love the pull out date idea!

i've seen some really cute Save the Dates that had a calendar on them - like this one: http://www.nadyacreations.co.za/save%20the%20date%20magnet/NQ7788lr.jpg

I've also seen a Save the Date that had a sticker you could peel off to put on your calendar on the date of the wedding. this would work best if the wedding is in the same year you're sending out the Save the Date, since most people won't have next year's calendar yet!

I'm anxious to see what you decide to do!

Those are ADORABLE! Wow!

We did magnets (which I know are popular these days) but it's great that people see it every day on fridge so are getting excited about it!
