Save the Date Card Ideas for Everyone



Save the date cards are an excellent idea if your wedding is a year or more into the future. These help to warn people of your date and make sure that they have it booked off in their diary. Save the date cards are also great for those who are organising a wedding abroad to ensure the people they want to come can make it.

There are a number of ideas for a save the date card. For those who want to send something unique, fridge magnets and other gadgets that can be used could be an option. These can be used by the guest so that they remember the date of your wedding and make sure it is in their calendar. However, these can be expensive and you will need to make sure you budget for them. You may choose to save this save the date idea for your wedding invitations or thank you cards.

To make your save the date card personal, there is the option of creating your own. This will allow you to easily add the theme or colour scheme to the card and will allow you to write your own save the date wording. If you do not have the time to make your own, you can give the design to a company that will make the cards for you.

Some people prefer emailing their save the date cards. This will help to cut down on the cost of mailing and will also help to get cards out quickly and to people overseas. Guests can often prefer receiving their cards through email since they can add the date directly to their mail calendar, which is often synced with many smartphones now.

Photo cards are another great save the date idea. These make it possible to add a fun and personal touch. It also allows everyone to catch a glimpse of the couple as some family members and friends may not have met their friend’s partner. To make it fun, you could take snapshots holding up signs that give the date and venue of the wedding.

There is no need to be formal with the wording if you do not want to be. Many save the date cards are created informally, which allows for a more personal touch. Of course, this depends on the style of the wedding you will be having and the type of wedding invitation you will be sending.

When choosing the save the date card ideas for you, make sure you make a full list of the people you will be inviting. This will help to make sure you sending them wedding invitations too. There is nothing worse than sending out save the date cards and then not sending them a wedding invitation at a later date!

Dealing with the Cost of Guests for Destination Weddings

Image
Enjoy your destination wedding. Image by Grand Velas Riviera Maya One of the downsides of a destination wedding is that all your guests may not be able to attend. It commonly leads to the idea of paying for your guests but this could blow your budget. There is also the possibility that your guests expect you to pay for their travel since you want them to be a part of your big day. So, how should you deal with this cost of destination weddings? Pay for Immediate Family and Friends One option is to pay for those close to you – the people in your bridal party and the closer relatives, like grandparents and siblings. This means that the people you really want to be there will be able to attend, without having to worry about the cost. The rest of your friends and family will have to spend their own money to attend; just don’t complain if they can make it for their own budget problems. Pay for Part of the Costs If you want to make sure all your guests can make it, o...

Avoid the Risks of a Cheap Wedding Photographer

Wedding photography is something that most – if not all – couples want at the wedding? I know it’s definitely something that I want. Photographs hold all the memories that fade over time so you can look back on the day and remember with a smile. The problem with wedding photographers is that they can be expensive. While I was looking around for wedding photographers, I found that they were coming up to between £2000 and £3000 for a full day and that didn’t even include the albums or copies of the photos! I would have to pay extra for that! However, I’ve managed to find someone to do the whole day of photography for between £300 and £500, depending on the type of album my partner and I end up choosing, perfect for my budget wedding. How did I do it? As you know from my previous post, I went to a friend who is taking a photography degree at university. She is getting into the wedding photography side and I asked her how much she was charging. Since she is still learning, she quoted...

How Much Should You Spend on Your Wedding?

Image
I recently saw a thread on a forum about people spending tens of thousands of pounds on their wedding. There does seem to be a big move into spending a large amount on one day. To some that’s stupid but to others it’s their dream. How much should you spend on your wedding? Honestly, I believe it should be as cheap or as expensive as you’d like. Okay, so you can’t do it for free, but you don’t need to spends thousands if you don’t want. There are low-cost venue options and you can keep the guest list to the bare minimum. If you don’t want Great-Aunt Dot at your wedding day then there’s no need to invite her (unless of course Great-Aunt Dot is like your mother and is paying for the wedding). We didn’t want to spend a fortune. We had a small budget, with most of it going on the venue and food. We found a cheaper wedding photographer, I got my wedding dress off eBay, and some of the additions were gifts from some of the guests. That being said…if you want to spend...
