Save the Dates by Basic Invite
So you’re engaged? Congratulations and let the wedding planning begin! There are numerous items on the to-do list when planning a wedding. When Tyler and I were engaged we really enjoyed adding our personal style to everything - from the cake to the table settings to the invitations. After having our own wedding and working in the wedding industry for 7 years, we love recommending amazing vendors to our clients. Recently, Basic Invite was kind enough to let us create some samples of their save the dates and wedding postponement announcement cards. I even added a few of our own photos to them and they turned out stunning! They have countless options and every card is customizable with beautiful designs. Check them out below.
Once you have chosen a date and location for your big day, you can order your save the date cards. I recommend mailing them out anywhere from 6-12 months before your wedding, depending on your situation. I’d encourage them to be mailed out closer to a year in advance if you are having a destination wedding. If you need to postpone your date, you can just order some “change the date” cards and mail them right away.
