Save The Date Printing Ideas, Types And Prices
If you’re in the process of planning a wedding or other big event, chances are you’ve been thinking about your save the date. Save the date cards became popular in the mid-2000s and has only grown in popularity in recent years. The cards are used to announce the date of a wedding or event; it’s a way to tell guests to keep the date free and that more information will be shared at a later stage.
However, what started out as a plain old organisational tool that allowed you to inform guests about an event before all the details had been ironed out, has now evolved into a very important step of the expected modern-day event invitation process. While the standard save the date size is a 127mm x 178mm card, there are many more save the date card sizes available.
Whether you opt for save the date magnets or want to have save the date postcards printed, this is the first piece of communication a prospective guest will receive, which means it has to set the tone for your wedding or event. The look and feel of this early missive will let them know whether they’re being invited to a sleek, glittering affair; a relaxed, rustic occasion; or an off-the-wall party that requires dressing up, for instance.
