What are some unique and creative save the date ideas for a wedding?

Think about what reflects you as a couple. A classic idea is a photo card with the date written on a chalkboard, a sign, or in the sand. You could also use a photo of your pets, your favourite place, or a funny moment. Magnets are practical because guests can keep them on the fridge. Puzzles or postcards are fun and easy to post.

For digital save the dates, a short video works well. Film yourselves saying the date, or use a simple animation. You can also send a digital postcard with a photo and a countdown. Another idea is a scratch card, where guests scratch off the date. Or a matchbox with a label saying "Light a match for our wedding date".

If you are crafty, you could make a small calendar with the date circled, or a bookmark with the date. For a destination wedding, send a passport style card with the location. For a winter wedding, send a snow globe or a bauble. For a summer wedding, send a seed packet with the date on the label. Whatever you choose, keep it clear and readable. The date and location must be easy to find. And remember to include your names, because guests may not recognise the photo if you have changed your look.
