Wedding Tip: Save the Dates

Sending out wedding Save the Dates is your opportunity to let your hair down in communicating with your guests! A new trend for 2010 is sending more tangible items to your guests. It serves as the first hint as to what guests can expect to experience at your wedding. In other words, it sets the mood. One bride who’s having an Andy Warhol “Pop Art” theme wedding is sending out custom made Save the Date Campbell’s Soup Cans packed with a magnet and other goodies. Another bride who loved southern-style barbecue and was planning on having it catered at her wedding, mailed out tiny bottles of Tabasco sauce, disposable towelettes and a magnet wrapped in a red handkerchief. Who doesn’t love a favor before the wedding? What’s most important is having fun and complimenting the overall feel of your big day! Save the formality for the formal invitations.
