Save The Dates

Magnolia Press is a new designer for Wedding Paper Divas. I don’t know much about the firm or who is behind it. If you have any information please comment or email me via the contact form so I can add some information to this post. In any case, Magnolia Press has some adorable Save the Dates that take advantage of the ability to include a customized picture. There are two cards in particular that I am keen on and they both use a light teal blue which is one of my favorite colors.

Beautiful Band
This is an especially elegant Save the Date card. It has a sleek sophisticated look that places a basic blue banner with your wedding information on it. This is quite striking especially when paired with a wonderful black and white engagement photo like the one seen here. I also really like the contrast of the cursive style headline with the couple’s names and the more basic block letters with the wedidng info below.

Extraordinary Style
Again this Save the Date card has a blue teal band of color. This design has more of a postcard look which I think is quite charming.It also makes use of cursive font for the couple’s names but also adds the initials in the background in light blue font. A simple yet extraordinary Save the Date card.

Ashley Dally is an Arlington, Virginia based commercial art and graphic designer. She is the lead designer for Matt Mendelsohn photography. Minted.com has some of her designs and they really stand out for the attention to detail they provide.

Italian Sunset
This is one of those Save the Dates that light and warm in its tones and colors. It features a sunburst of colored dots that is vibrant and festive. And of course you can add a Save the Dates photo that complements the radiant frame.

What I also really like about this card is that there is the ability to include what is called a “yearline”. Basically it’s not just a flat card, but a folded Save the Date where you can include a number of important dates on the inside to share with your guest. This could include your engagement date and a recap of the special moment, your engagement party date, and of course your upcoming wedding date. See an example below:

Good on Paper Design is a San Francisco based design and stationery company that creates wedding invitations, baby announcements, stationery, and of course unique Save the Date cards. The heart and soul of the company is Lisa Wong Jackson. She bit draws her inspiration from nature, bold colors and shapes, and simple line drawings. Her designs have been featured in magazines such as In Style, Lucky, and 7×7. Lisa is a good friend so I’m a bit biased, but I feel that her Save the Dates are some of the best anywhere. You can judge for yourself!

Jasmine Blossoms
This Save the Date photo card is one of our favorite designs from Good on Paper and is actually one of the best selling designs. It features a modern look with small jasmine blossoms that add a hint of nature to the invitation. The bright yellow and orange colors welcome the season of spring.

Damask
This design is unique and colorful with orange flowers that hang over the top of the card. The Orange cursive font matches the flowers and provides the wedding save the date information. This design also has matching wedding invitations, response, reception, direction and thank you cards.

Park Bench: Paradise
This card is so charming. I love the little blue bird perched on the bench that has “you and me” etched into it. So simple and adorable!
