For the second installment in our National Wedding Month blog series, we are showing you 8 pretty DIY save the date ideas using stamps. Whether your guest list is small or runs a hundred people long, these creative ideas are a quick and simple way to add excitement to your big day!
1. Sealed with a Stamp
In traditional times handwritten letters were the only means of communication. While this retro form of contact has dwindled throughout the years, we can bring back the style and sophistication that came with it.
Seal your important save the date cards with an official embossed seal and stamp impression. This extra detail adds intrigue to your envelope. Add a silver or gold foil to make your impression stand out. Keep your old-fashioned touches by using a rubber wedding address stamp. Our calligraphy lettering stamps make a great final detail before sending your date cards on their way.
2. Fresh Flower Favor
Give your guests a small gift in their awaited envelope. Include a small pressed flower inside of your card. This provides a sneak-peek into your ceremony. Choose a flower featured in your bouquet or the ones that will adorn your special venue.
Match your floral present with an equally beautiful stamp. Choose from our variety of gorgeous wreath and branch decorated wedding stamps. The floral highlights on your wedding invitations and save the dates are an amazing addition for rustic weddings and destination weddings. All of these delicate touches will be remembered by you and your wedding guests.
3. Hidden Envelope Impression
When given the opportunity add something unique and unexpected. While receiving a handwritten letter in the mail has become a rare occasion, there is more you can do to your envelope to create subtle drama and flair. Instead of just leaving a stamp impression on the front of your envelope, add it to the inside flap. This gives your recipient a hint of what they are about to receive.
Our wedding address stamps come in sophisticated and trendy designs. Your chosen impression is personalized to fit your exact needs. Pick your favorite design, which can feature your soon to be last name, wedding date, address, along with bride and groom names!
4. Elegant Stamped Letterhead
Starting from scratch and creating your own invite may just be your best option. At the end of the day, you know your style and taste the best! Your names, wedding date and location are the most important pieces of information to include on your formal save the dates. Luckily with the help of a simple detail, your correspondence is sure to come together nicely. A custom wedding stamp imprinted at the very top of your save the date template will be the perfect personal touch to each invite.
Just like in corporate settings a letterhead shows the importance and authority of a document. An official wedding stamp shows the significance of your official wedding date, and much like a letterhead your name and address are featured for your recipients. Not to mention, a sophisticated stamp helps take away some of the added stress that comes with wedding planning.
5. Stamped Keepsake Card
It seems as though everyone is constantly on the go. Between work, kids, pets, and life, we all seem to be very busy. The hectic nature of life shouldn’t take away from your special day. Easily remedy this dilemma by including an additional keepsake card inside of your sealed envelope.
Take a small piece of paper or cardstock and leave a personalized wedding imprint on each side. Choose your favorite wedding stamp impression and ink color. This custom card will act as a bonus reminder for your guests. They can put your original invite on their refrigerator and keep the extra minimalist card in their planner or use it as a calendar save the date! This way all of your guests will be ready to go on your special day.
6. Custom Confetti
All celebrations call for confetti! Make your invite pop with some fun and festive pieces of confetti. Pick up colored pieces of paper or felt and start adding personal impressions. Adorn your paper with love inspired craft stamps. Use heart designs or sweet sentiments to give that extra special feel.
While it may make a little mess, it will be well worth it. Add some traditional confetti or glitter to top of your DIY addition. This sparkly surprise will be one to remember!
