So I was going to order my save the date cards last month and something told me to wait {after all, I still have a year before the wedding} and I did... which was a good thing because the wedding location is back to Minnesota instead of Puerto Rico. In truth I am really happy because the only reason we were going destination wedding style was because of my grandmas. Long story but they are more than happy with the change as long as they get to meet the "hottie" and "cutie" are the words they have used to describe David...lol. Did I mention my grandmas are crazy cool? :D So, Minnesota it is and I am thrilled I get to get marry in the cutest little church close to my future-in-laws. It is adorable.
Before I talk cards, can we talk wedding website? I never thought I was the super girlie type but apparently I am. When my friend recommended to get a wedding website I laughed at the idea. Fast forward to yesterday and guess who now has one? :-) If you think about it, makes sense to have one place where you can share information about the big day. So here is ours! Can you tell how excited I am!
Now back to cards: now it is time for a rustic save the date card to mirror the wedding. Here is the odd thing: I am not a floral and intricate design kind of person, however I am drawn to all these ornate cards. David and I want to keep the invitations classic and stylish but for the save the date cards I am not looking for them to match the wedding stationary at all. I just want something fun and just pretty {sorry, babe!}. So, here are the ones that have caught my eye. P.S. Angie is my nickname and what everyone knows me as, so do not worry, I did not steal anyone's save -the-date cards. :-)
I am obsessed with Minted and their invitations, and all of these cards are from that site. First there are the light and pastel colored ones, which are delicate yet fun.

| I LOVE THIS ONE! |
But then, am also drawn to these two in dark hues. They are so dramatic but still so pretty.
What do you think? Which one you like?
Did you send Save the Date Cards?
And when do you send them?
Joining other lovelies here:
I LOVE these cards!! All of them. Too funny that you live near Kansas City! I'm unable to reply to your comment because you're a "no-reply blogger" but thanks for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteLove #2 & #5. I used wedding paper divas, they have some nice options. If your looking to budget these, groupon and livingsocial often have some good deals for paper companies (i purchased a weddingpaperdivas one from Ruelala)
ReplyDeleteSo many great options! My favorite is either the first one or the last one!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards! I'm partial to the last one, but they're all stunning–just like your perfect wedding website!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Meredith - #2 and #5. SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteI like 1 and 3 - clean and easy to read! We did do save the dates and sent them pretty quickly because we got engaged in October and are getting married in June. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThose are all so pretty! I like the first three best, but I think I'd have to say the third one is my favorite. I didn't send save the dates out, but if I had seen these beauties, maybe I would have! :)
ReplyDeleteGosh - I love them all... I'm really partial to that baby blue one... & the last one with the brown & baby blue. They're all beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteI know usually my engagement couples send out Save the Date cards - we specifically take pictures for it & they send them out about 3 months before the wedding since the invitations go out 6 weeks before the wedding. That gives time for a shower invite in there too.
I think I like the last one the best, but they are all so pretty and elegant. I did not do save the date cards, but we got engaged in August and married in November.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are happy with the wedding location change and your Grandmas too.
#1 or #3. They're all so pretty though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty selection MA! My favorites are also 1 & 3 (am partial to negative space and blue :)... they're simple and clean and elegant! :)
