Save the date

We did an email!

We did magnets. Our invites with the wedding website will be going out soon though, so people can get a headstart on flights and hotels. The magnets seemed to be a hit because they hung up on all the fridges we got to visit.

We sent our magnets with one of our engagement photos. It depends on the formality of your wedding as to what you should do. I don't think posting anything like that on social media would be a good idea as you will get people that you don't plan on inviting thinking they will be invited.

We did postcards. We’ve received several emailed save the dates and they really frustrated me because they always went to my FH and guess what? He’s not the one that keeps our schedule. I am. He also has a terrible time informing me of this type of info when he receives it. So when we got the invitations, sometimes it was super inconvenient and things had to be moved around. I’ve had older coworkers receive them via email and the griping I’ve heard from them, oh boy.

We're sending snail mail. Never thought of doing something else

We did our STDs through Evite. It was free and easy! We are able to send them through email, text and messenger.

We got postcards on zazzle on Black Friday and will be mailing them out

I went to Wal-Mart, and made save the date Christmas Cards. I ended up using 2 Christmas pics of us and verbagr that read - " all we want for Christmas is for you to come to our wedding" . They were fun and we received a lot of compliments on them. I saw several of them pinned on fridges and cabinets during this holiday season. Cost was good too...i paid around $30 to have 80 printed. Designed them at home one evening and picked them up the next day. Quality was surpringly good for Wal-Mart.

View Quoted Comment This. My FH actively ignores his email - we missed a save the date email blast and it caused so many headaches. Shutterfly for a quick printed option under budget will save you a lot of pain.

I appreciate hearing all the different ways of what worked and didn’t work.
