We have featured Good on Paper in the past and they just came out with some new designs that we really love and we had to promote. The firm is run by Lisa Wong Jackson a San Francisco based designer who also happens to be a new mom! Congrats to Lisa and her husband Nick.

Falling Petals
This Save the Date photo card is a great design from Good on Paper. It comes in black, brown, or a fuschia color. I really like the contrast of the white petals with the black background and the fonts really complement the overall design of this Save the Date.

Vintage Royalty
This Save the Date photo card has a beautiful elegance to it. I really like the gold and pink color combination and the ring in the center is just adorable. Choose a bright and cheery photo and you will have a unique Save the Date card.

Fall Branch
This is one of those gorgeous Save the Dates that really just stands out. If you are having a fall wedding this could be perfect. Even if not I just love the fall foliage theme. I especially like the small leaves that are flying off on the end. And the crisp white of the rest of the card makes for a beautiful card to send to friends and family to Save the Date for your special wedding day.

Photo Strip Memories
If I had to choose one theme that I always like for Save the Date cards it would have to be photo booth Save the Dates. This one is no exception. It has a slightly off center aligned strip of photo proofs that let’s you pick 3 favorite photos. It has an old time charm that I really like. To go with the theme of the Save the Date design it’s probably best to choose black and white photos.

Postcard Inspirations
Postcards are really a lost art in my mind. But you can bring it back with this Save the Date card that relives an old stamp and postmarked postcard. All you have to do is select one photo of you and your future hubby maybe from a recent trip. It’s easy to just pick one photo for your Save the Date right?

Chic Stamp
This is my all time favorite Save the Date card from Tallu-lah. It is fun and elegant with monogrammed initials in the center and your personal photo that you can spend hours choosing to find the perfect Save the date photo. Remember that postage will be more expensive with square cards! This square Save the Date comes in begonia, plum, and tropical. Basically that means you can pick from pink, purple, and blue.

Fashionable Foliage
I am a big fan of Lettepress Save the Dates. This design has a modern flair and I love the leaves and the interspersed color. The card is printed using the fine thermography of William Arthur which is absolutely gorgeous. If you don’t believe me remember that you can order a sample Save the Date card for this or any Wedding Paper Divas design for only $1.00. Please remember that while Lettepress Save the Date cards are things of beauty they also are more expensive. If you order 100 cards it comes out to $3.57 each.

From there she moved on to birthday invites, moving announcements, and more. Her goal is to provide sophisticated and stylish stationery for the inner child in all of us. She has been in business since 2003 and also design children’s books.

Cozy Reminder
I always feel that the simple Save the Dates are the best Save the Dates. This design includes a bold lower border that includes all the details of your upcoming nuptials. The font is playful and casual which really catches the eye. This photo is also spectacular and the blue brick wall coordinates well with “the” in Save the Date. It’s not always possible to do but I like when folks match the picture with the card.

Photo Blocks
With the Photo Blocks Save the Date card you can choose up to 6 photos to include. I find this card to be oh so sophisticated and I really like the ability to choose square sized photos along with vertical photos. You can mix and match black and white or colors photos that allows some nice contrast. And I like the brown and white middle box coloring.

Eva Walter is an independent designer based in San Francisco. She has been designing since 1995 and many of her designs are available at Paper Culture including Save the Dates, Holiday Cards, and Birth Announcements.

Two Hearts
When you get engaged two hearts become one and this Save the Date card perfectly reflects that. It is quite simple but beautiful in a modern Save the Date style. I think it’s probably best for a more informal wedding. I especially like the little wedding cake in the lower right corner. Oh so cute! And it is eco-friendly as the cards are printed with 100% post consumer recycled paper.

Heart Interplay
As you can see Eva Walter is big on heart Save the Date cards. It’s a fitting theme for any wedding Save the Date announcement and this design as the name suggests consists of a series of hearts put together in a beautiful pattern. It is also available in a green tone if you prefer.

Fine Moments Save the Date cards are designed by the husband and wife team of Jason and Hae Carberry. Started in 2005 after finding success in creating invitations for friends and family the company focuses on high quality Save the Date designs that have clean lines, contemporary and yet classic styles.

Deco Frame
This square Save the Date card looks almost like an art deco sculpture. It really frames your custom photo well and I like the colors that include a turquoise, green, or orange option. Please remember that square Save the Dates incur additional postage charges. Although this design may be just worth the extra cost!

Love Stamp
This Save the Date card takes the classic US postal mail theme and turns it into what I consider one of the most memorable Save the Dates available. The eco-friendly italian made paper acentuates the design and a rich red coloring highlights you and your fiancés names.

Floral Flurry
The Floral Flurry wedding Save the Date card is a contemporary design with beautiful magenta flowers on a green background. If you want a Save the Date that will stand out this could be the one.

Reef Romance
The Reef Romance wedding Save the Date card is playful design that features a school of fish in aquamarine turquoise. The fish are contrasted with a white background which I adore. If you prefer the card also comes with green or orange fish.

Engagement Collage
Jill Smith Save the Date cards are typically bright and bold and this card called Engagement Collage is no exception. It’s a picturesque design that let’s you add your 3 best engagement photos to send to your family, friends, and loved ones. I find it to be oh so cool and contemporary.

Canna
Brown and orange are two of my favorite colors. And they make for a striking duo in this design by Jill Smith. This Save the Date card has modern fonts that make it really stand out and yet the two little flowers add a touch of panache.

Jenny’s Designs are offered exclusively at MagnetStreet Weddings. Jenny is a designer that likes to make a statement and puts a lot of attention to detail in her designs just like one would do in planning a wedding! I feel like her Save the Dates Magnets really capture the zest of life and make me want to smile.

Enchanted Encounter
Want to share lots of pictures in your Save the Date magnet? This is a stunning design with beautiful cursive font and a brown band across the bottom.

Flower Enchantment
This photo Save the Date magnet design by Jenny features a beautiful light green handwriting font and flower and petals drawing. You can also include two custom pictures and I really adore how the couples’ names are included running in between the two pictures.

Square Motif
This is a classic square Save the Date magnet. It’s green yet again and has the ability to include up to four photos of you and your future husband. The pattern is almost antique looking, yet it blends in a pleasant way to create a nice visual effect. A great detail is that the date is placed in one of the left hand side squares. There is even space to include your wedding website.


Save the Date Mini Magnet Versions

I also wanted to include the mini magnet versions of some of the above designs for comparison. Sometimes having the slimmer mini style looks a bit better and it can also make for a less expensive Save the Date magnet.
