Creative Save the Dates

An unusual but creative save the date idea....

Use postcards! Might sound obvious for destination weddings, but take advantage of your wedding in a historic building by using postcards as your save the date cards. Best part is that these cards are usually complimentary (or ask your planner at the reception site.) However, we see how using the postcards could be suitable for everyone. i.e. If your wedding is in Philly (or the Philly area) use postcards of the Liberty Bell or the Delaware Waterfront. Out-of-town guests will think it's cute and, well, a lot of people don't bother reading them anyways. If you two meet during college, use a postcard of the college campus.

Cost: Free to 25 cents each plus postage
