Pure Bliss
This is one of the top selling Save the Dates cards for Wedding Paper Divas. It is simple and bursting with modern design. What could be simpler than a picture of you and your fiance framed in your choice of green, red, or blue.

Circled Date
This Save the Date photo card features a simple picture and blue band. I particularly like the blue circle that signifies the specific date to save for the wedding.

Eternal Bond
If you want a more classic, almost antique style then this is the Save the Date card for you. The card features a drawing of two simple wedding bands interlocked together. The card is printed using the thermography of William Arthur which adds to the elegance of the card.

Shutterfly is a company more known for it’s award-winning photo books and its photo printing services than for its Save the Date cards. However, as one of the largest online photo processing vendors they have the ability to offer affordable Save the Dates that include personalized photos.  Many of these are similar to photo holiday cards which Shutterfly also sells. The company focuses on helping people make the most of memories.

The greatest benefit of Shutterfly is that they have affordable, dare I say cheap Save the Date cards, with most cards priced at between $0.55 to $1.50.  There are some basic themes to choose from (approximately 50 something) and these include standard Save the Dates as well as Save the Date photo cards. Shutterfly offers personalization including the ability to add a custom message, however you don’t have quite as many options as some vendors like Wedding Paper Divas.

If you want to do Save the Date Magnets then Shutterfly can be a great option. They offer affordable Magnets that can be customized with a personalized picture.

If you are lucky enough to live in California, Illinois or the Washington D.C. area and you want a great Do-it-Yourself solution for Save the Date cards then visit your local Paper Source store. The company was started in 1983 and sells fine, handmade papers from across the world. They have a very diverse selection of colors, pre-cut and packaged cards, envelopes, and accessories. This allows one to really customize invitations that speak to your individual style.

If you so desire they will also produce custom Save the Date cards. These can be laser printed or letter pressed depending on your preference. However, there is an additional fee for these services. And unlike buying online you won’t necessarily be able to get a instant proof of your design to view. That being said the staff at Paper Source are very friendly and knowledgeable and it helps just to get their opinion and input as you plan you invitations.
