A lot has changed since we first started reviewing places to buy for Save the Dates. But our top choice has always been the same in Wedding Paper Divas. Back then and today they offered the best combination of overall value and quality for Save the Date cards. They are unique in that they work exclusively with many top designers to develop beautiful Save the date designs for every taste and occasion.
Although, in the past 3 years since we first endorsed them they have added a ton of new products and designs. For many years they focused only on Save the Date cards. But in recent years they have expanded and now offer Save the Date Magnets and also Save the Date Postcards. In addition, they have the largest selection of Save the Dates online.

If you want something different for your Save the Date cards you may want to look at new Circle Save the Dates from Wedding Paper Divas. These are beautifully designed cards that a pre-cut as perfect 5.25 inch diameter circles so you don’t have to do any additional work. Circles are the perfect shape to use for weddings since they do represent so many wonderful things like the circle of a promise ring or the circle of life that you may want to begin shortly after marriage. Or not.
With circles you can get pretty creative with the designs of the Save the Date cards. I really like the record Save the Date as well as the way pictures look on a circle Save the Date.
Some of the Save the Date circle cards feature your own custom picture while others are more simple and just speak to the name of the bride and groom and the date of your wedding nuptials. The tree designed circle is one of my favorites in that it really uses the shape of the card to blend into the Save the Date design.
Sometimes nothing beats having a simple photo on your Save the Dates. My husband commented that these could make great Save the Date coasters. I suppose how your guests use the cards is up to them.

Ocean of Love
This Save the Date card by Smudge Ink has majestic ocean in a brilliant blue. If you are getting married by the ocean or sea this could be a good choice for your Save the Date.
