Save-the-Date, Holiday Style

Planning your wedding in the midst of the holiday festivities can be a difficult balancing act.  If you and your fiance are trying to orchestrate save-the-date cards and holiday cards to friends and family, why not combine the two?  There are great design opportunities to keep the save-the-dates in style with your wedding vision in addition to adding a little holiday cheer.  Here are a few:


♥ An easy way to add a save-the-dates to your holiday cards are to take a great picture of you and your fiance (or use one of your engagement photos) and make it a magnet save-the-date!  You can then quickly add the magnet to your holiday card envelope.  The image can portray winter or you can just design it to fit the theme of your wedding.  These examples are just a few fantastic options from  http://www.weddingpaperdivas.com/!



You can include these magnets with photo cards that match (just change the name from 'The Idlewilds' to 'The Future Idlewilds' and use a different matching photo)...

Or add your magnets with holiday cards that compliment the look and/or color palette.  Here are some great eco-friendly, customizable selections from http://www.peartreegreetings.com/.




♥ You can also just send Christmas photo cards and include information addressing your upcoming wedding.  Look at these options we found on Etsy.com!



Try to have fun and get creative when planning your save-the-dates and remember, save-the-dates should be sent out four to six months before the wedding date.

Happy Holidays!
