Folder Style Save the Date Invitation

When the date is fixed but the invitation design is not, a save the date card goes out first and buys you time. A folder style save the date invitation carries the names, the date and the city, and little else. Add your own photograph, wording and fonts.

What belongs on it and what does not

Names, the date, the city, and a line telling guests the full invitation follows. Venue, timings and the function schedule can all wait. The one job of this card is to stop guests booking something else on your date.

Why DL suits this card

DL is a long, narrow layout. It takes two names and a date across its width without crowding, and the envelope cover is sized to whichever card you pick. For a card carrying very little text, that proportion looks more considered than a squarer one. The main folder style wedding card follows later.

Paper for a card people keep

Six stocks are available: 250 GSM glossy or matte, 300 GSM ivory, and 280 GSM linen, needle point or metallic texture. A save the date often sits on a fridge door for months. The heavier ivory and the textured papers earn their cost here more than on any other card.

Timing the two mailings

These go out months ahead, often before the venue is confirmed. The full wedding invitation card follows once everything is settled. Guests travelling from another state or country are the reason this card exists at all.

Ordering and changes

Orders can be placed through WhatsApp on 9339400600, and design changes are possible until the run starts. Contact us as early as you can if the wording changes, since a save the date is usually a short run and moves through quickly.

The card for the evening list

Reception guests are often a different and longer list than the ceremony one. Where that is the case, a separate reception invitation is worth printing rather than stretching one card to cover both.
