Today, more and more people are sending out save the dates. Because they are are usually sent out so far in advance, people often want them to be something that will be held onto (magnet, calendar, etc.). I was cleaning out my 2005 wedding magazines today and came across a great save the date idea in an old issue of Modern Bride - a monogrammed bookmark! All the materials were purchased through Paper-Source (woohoo!) so it’s a project you can do yourself.

These bookmarks come in 7 different colors with a prepunched hole in the top where you can add a ribbon. 25 for $6.

Then monograms were glued onto the bookmark. These come in 6 different colors and are $5 for 10.

A piece of cardstock was glued onto the back of the bookmark with the “save the date” information. I love this idea - easy, affordable, and practical!
