I interrupt my wedding re-cap to bring a smile to your face and to encourage you to think outside the box. I loved our save-the-dates, don’t get me wrong. But they were very traditional — they matched all our other stationery. I wanted to encourage you brides-to-bee (pun intended) with a sense of humor to not take your save-the-date’s too seriously.

Mr. Onion got the mail a few days ago and paused at something, then said “OOOOHHHH” and handed it to me with a smile. Mr. Onion’s cousin and his fiance are getting married this summer and it was their save-the-date. When I asked the the bride to tell me a little more about it, she said they had the picture taken while in Florida (at Disney MGM I believe) and it was digitally done for them right there.
I hope this is an inspiration to you all — be creative and have FUN with your save-the-dates!! It’s on our fridge and makes me giggle whenever I look at it. Thanks for sharing cousin-in-law Onions!
I was just discussing save the dates with my bf (soon-to-be-fiance) and we have two really cute and fun ideas that we’re considering. We both definitely agreed that the save the dates can be really fun, can incorporate a shared interest that might not be appropriate for the wedding (such as a favorite sport or movie), and can (and should!) be totally different from the more proper/formal invitations. I’m glad to see that other people think so, too!
