*inCOLOR – ideas for U* Fun with Save-the-Dates

The wedding invitation should offer guests a glimpse into what to expect to see when they arrive on the big day.  A formal invitation is fitting a black tie event, while an invitation in the shape of a flip-flop could be appropriate for a casual beach wedding.  There are less rules when it comes to save-the-dates.  Many couples opt for a cohesive vision and select save-the-dates that match the rest of the stationary, and others see it as an opportunity too think outside-the-box and really have some fun.  There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to deciding what kind of save-the-date to send out, couples should do what feels natural for them.

We have seen hundreds of great save-the-dates and we are so excited to share this new one with you.  Dasha & Kevin, one of our fabulous 2008 couples from LA, came up with this photoshopped dream of a save-the-date that looks like it could be the cover art for the latest hip CD.  The couple had the photo taken of them with her on the ladder, and then added the background and text in post production.  More than just stylish, note the subtext of climbing the ladder to “save the date” just as one would do so to “save” a cat from a tree top.  Beautiful and thoughtful…just like Dasha and Kevin!
