Your save the date is the very first glimpse into your wedding day.
The first photo your guests will pin to the fridge. The first moment it all starts to feel real.
Our photo save the dates are designed to feel timeless, refined, and effortlessly personal—giving your guests a beautiful preview of what’s to come.
We typically recommend sending save the dates 6–8 months before the wedding, and up to a year in advance for destination celebrations, which means now is the perfect time to begin finding a design that feels like you.

Friendly reminder for couples planning to mail invitations this year 💌
USPS postage rates continue to change, with an increase proposed to take effect on July 12, 2026, which means your invitation suite may require more postage than expected—especially if you’re using thicker paper, multiple inserts, ribbon, wax seals, or layered details.
Our biggest recommendation?
Bring one fully assembled suite to your local post office before mailing to have it weighed and checked for non-machinable surcharges. It’s the best way to avoid returned invitations or delayed delivery. If you haven’t ordered your invitations, but have ordered a custom sample, you can take that to the post office as well, just make sure to include every piece and embellishment for the most accurate weight!
A beautiful suite deserves a smooth arrival. ✨
Consider this your sign to stop searching.

Because you don’t need more options— you need the right guidance.
A small card with an important role.
Response cards help you gather final guest counts, meal selections, and any details needed for your celebration. Traditionally included with a pre-addressed and stamped envelope, they offer guests a simple, thoughtful way to reply.
For proper timing, we recommend requesting responses 4–6 weeks before your wedding date, giving you time to follow up and finalize numbers with your venue and vendors.
Prefer a modern approach? Many couples now include a QR code or website for digital replies, though a mailed response card remains the most classic and timeless option.
We’re here to help with whichever route you choose, as it should feel seamless, intentional, and beautifully integrated into your suite
