Unique Save The Dates Items

By Carolyn Wilson


After making a decision on your wedding day, what is left is to send invitation to guests. Bear in mind that people are busy which means that you will be competing with other invitations. As such, you should have unique save the dates items that will make your invitation memorable. Such items also make the invitation personal which builds anticipation for the big day.

Go for uniquely shaped cards. Some people find shapes to be memorable. They also leave a lasting impression in the mind. Other than use the usual rectangle shapes, go for new shapes like diamonds, hexagons, circles, etc. Enhance the invitation by providing a hook, stand, thread to hang, etc. Provide a unique feature that makes it stand out among many other invitations.

Use a caricature on your card. Enlist the services of an excellent artist to provide a caricature of the wedding couple. The caricature should capture a celebratory mood which will be picked by the invited guests. The theme color of the caricature should rhyme with what you have chosen for your big day. Keep the caricature simple to avoid making it appear like a joke to your guests.

How would a photograph poster appear? There are photos that send a clear message of your intention without having to add words. Look for a vintage wedding photo or one with the bride and groom in a classic car and include it on your card. This is a distinct approach and differs from ordinary clip arts and words. Professionally emboss or assimilate the photo into a meaningful invitation.

Use a detachable sticker on your card. It is common for people in offices to use stickers as reminders. They are pasted on desks, boards, computer screens, etc. When producing your card, provide a sticker that the person can pluck and stick at a conspicuous place to always remember the day. The sticker should include details like date and venue of the big celebrations.

Be artistic in your invitation. Cards are easy to forget and even discard before the wedding. To make your day memorable to all, find an artistic object like a flag, bracelet, embossed cup, etc. You may also curve the invitation on a piece of wood. The artistic feel will prevent guests from discarding your invitation. The invitation will stay beyond the actual date and into your anniversaries.

Do you have friends who speak and understand different languages? Consider a card or cards written in multiple languages. This is a perfect idea when your friends come from different nationalities and speak multiple languages. It is easier to accommodate them by printing a multilingual card. The card also feels personal since everyone can read. When the message is printed on a single card, it will be cost effective.

Embrace technology. Digital invitations are as effective as the use of physical cards. Record an audio or video and broadcast it to friends. You will not need to search for them physically or drop the cards from door to door. The invitation can be replayed time and again. Others will convert it into a ring tone and forever remember the date.
