For our Save the Dates we wanted something simple that utilized our engagement pictures (We didn’t take those suckers for nothin’!). We decided to go with the cute idea of holding up three signs with the words: “save”, “the”, and “date”. Our photographer, Toby, was a good sport during our engagement shoot and allowed us to take way too many ridiculous pictures holding those signs. The “holding signs” concept is somewhat overdone—however, I found an online program that would display it in an original way.
Here is the layout we chose: The Accordion Fold Card

Here are the photos we chose: One color photo, and four in black and white




We also incorporated a short message with the date, location, and other pertinent guest information. On one of the back panels, we included our wedding website. I was happy about this because I wasn’t sure where we would include the website information.Here’s the front side of the card.

Here’s the backside of the card.

All in all, they turned out mostly how I had envisioned them. Only two minor complaints: (1) the envelopes were lacking in quality (i.e. cheap) and (2) the options for formatting the text on our card were limited. I was only half-satisfied with the text because it looked a bit unfinished.
So there you have it!! Save the Date cards - CHECK!
