Congratulations, you're engaged! You probably want to shout this long-awaited day from the rooftops and walk around showing off your bling every chance you get. While you certainly can celebrate, in the meantime you should think about how you want to announce your big day to family and friends. For most people, this means sending out a "save the date" card or online announcement that tells guests to keep your wedding date free. If you're looking for adorable and unforgettable ideas, then take a peek at those below.
Drink Coaster
If you're looking for a way to boast about having an open bar, then this is the perfect way to do it. Simply have "free drinks" or any other clever phrase you can think of printed on thick cardboard along with your name and wedding date. Send in an envelope so every time a drink is set down they think of your big day.
Boarding Pass
Having a destination wedding? There's no better way to let your guests know than by sending them faux boarding passes with your name, date, and destination.
Mini Calendar
Something simple and affordable is to have a mini calendar of the month you're getting married printed on a note card. Have your specific date circled with a cute note and your guests won't forget your important day.
Faux Movie Poster
Are you both fans of a certain movie or television show? If so, find a poster that you like and then figure out a way to re-create it. Then, instead of writing the names of the stars, you can write your own name followed by your wedding date as the "release date". You can even find wedding venues and event venues that will play your move in the background as the reception goes on, tying your theme together.
Scratch-Off Card
Scratch-off cards can be ordered online or made yourself with a few basic materials. Guests will anticipate scratching off each circle to reveal when your special day is!
When it comes to designing your save the date, remember to have fun. By letting your personality show, you'll be making something more unique and special. The ideas above in particular, are worth checking out as they are so distinctive that your guests won't soon forget them.
