One of our favorite art directors/graphic designers, Alan Valek, shared these beautiful save the dates. The main card was digitally printed, the fabric overlays were then stitched on and rubber-stamped with chalk ink. Can’t wait to see the invitation!

So, you’re engaged… what’s next? Choose your wedding date and let everyone know about it! And how do you do that?
Well, if you’re as talented as art director Alan Valek, you can easily whip out a save-the-date like his. Simply Photoshop two pictures, hire your local screenprinter to print your design, source a local alteration shop to saw the photos onto a chipboard, paint the edges and voila! You got yourself a beautiful and memorable save-the-date.
However, if you rather use your talent doing something else. Check out some of Jayda’s eco-friendly save-the-dates.
Receiving a Save-the-Date notification is so special if you think about it. It shows someone you know that you hold them dear and deems it important that they be there for your special occasion. It’s a kind gesture, letting them know well in advance so they have time to make arrangements and do their best to attend (especially important for holiday weekends or in locales with ‘busy seasons’). When it comes to sending out your Save-the-dates, remember, they are the first impression your guests will get of your par-tay… they’ll shape the mood and get your guests excited.
The absolute instant you’ve set the date and locale, save-the-date cards should be ordered and sent out, ideally six months ahead. The invitation, which should arrive six to eight weeks before the actual date, will act as a refresher. By then, a lot of your guests will have most of their plans already set for your event.
