Save-the-Date Ideas

We Asians don't normally send out save-the-dates but they are important if you want to ensure that your intended invitees pencil in the date of your party in their calendars.   

Some choose to send out save-the-dates a year in advance. I sent out our wedding save-the-dates together with our official invitations about 2 -3 months prior to the big day. I'm a sucker for sentiments (and somewhat traditional) so only a physical hard copy would do for me. Technology has since caught up and stop-motion save-the-dates are trending now. Here are some save-the-dates to indulge in:

1) This was ours:

We put a map on the reverse side and contact number of our reception venue lest anyone gets lost

2) Debbie & Kevin's postal magnet which I received via snail mail together with a stack of brochures on what to do in Kota Kinabalu! How thoughtful!

Picture taken from my Instagram. The magnet is now stuck on my fridge
