For your upcoming wedding, there are countless details to attend to. You must make sure that every aspect of the wedding dress is aesthetically-pleasing. You have to fuss over the accents on each layer of the wedding cake. And you need to construct the flower arrangements so they brighten the church in the most dazzling way possible. So since you are devoting all of your energy to making your wedding day as elegant as possible, why should you settle for anything less with your save-the-date cards?

Here are several choices of save-the-date cards for elegant weddings:

Simple

The bride’s and groom’s names and the numerically abbreviated date are splashed across the middle third of the card. In smaller font, "Please save the date for the wedding of" is printed at the top, while the location of the ceremony is shown at the bottom.

Branch of Love

The names of the bride and groom are printed at the bottom of the card, just below and to the right of a branch which is home to two birds in black silhouette. At the top of the card, the words "Please Save the Date" are written in graceful script, and the full date and wedding location are printed below it.

Love Me

This card is inspired by gorgeous Queen’s Lace botanicals. Inside a frame of solid double lines, a group of flowers stands to the left of the event information. "Save the Date" is scrolled above the printed full date, city, and state; while the honorees’ names are shown in block print at the bottom of the card. All information is written in capital letters.

All information is written in capital letters.

Hearts in Line

On this vertically-formatted card, a row of five small red hearts divides the top fourth of the card from the rest of the information.

Forever and Ever

The left third of this card is emblazoned with a bright, stylistic floral pattern over a lightly-shaded background. The wedding information is right-justified and written in elegant cursive script. Under "Please save the date for the wedding of," the names of the bride and groom appear in larger font. The full date and location of the event are shown beneath the names.

Flower Bouquet

The main feature of this vertically-formatted card is a pink, lavender, and black sketch of a floral arrangement on the bottom half. "Save the Date" is written in lavender childlike script at the top and is bordered by a green curvy line. The chic font style lists "For the Wedding of," the names of the bride and groom, the numerically abbreviated date, and the wedding location.

Most of these offerings come with numerous choices of ink and envelope lining colors, and some variation of "Invitations to Follow" appears on each card. Since a save-the-date card represents the first impression of your wedding for your potential guests, why not foreshadow the elegance of your event when you tell them the date?
