Save the Date, Set the Vibe
Are you in love? Could there be a proposal one of these days? Get ready for an intense swirl of emotions and…an equally intense swirl of logistics. Yes, that’s the algorithm of getting married: Joy plus Details!
After the hugs and “Congratulations” the next thing you will hear is: When’s the wedding?
Bespoke is here for you. Our job is to increase the joy factor and to make you fall in love with your wedding stationery.
One of the first deets to design is your Save the Date. Usually a card, but it could be anything, your save-the-date is the first piece of communication anyone gets about your wedding - and first impressions count!
Imagine something custom-designed, for just you two, something that reflects your love story, personality and style, that’s refreshing and eye-catching, and that makes all your guests say “I do” as in “I’ll be there.”
Q: “How far in advance should I send my save the date?”
Tradition dictates one year, and that timeline is still expected today. Lives are busy and travel schedules are jammed. Weddings count as a truly special life event, so give your peeps the chance to clear their calendars and plan ahead. That said, if you find yourself short on time, we can get to work quickly. Even if you are close to sending your invitations, we believe it’s proper–and fun–to send a save the date.
Q: What about the vibe?
It starts with saving the date and ends with the guest experience at your wedding. See our post on guest experience to get a better sense of what that’s all about and just how much fun you can have building out the look and feel of your event(s) for your guests. Pro tip: Envision the vibe of your celebration first, and we will design your personal brand, all your stationery and your guest experience around those elements.
Q: “Can my save the date be different from my invitation?”
Short answer, yes! This can go either way. If you’re unsure of your wedding venue or what you want the invitations to feel like, don’t let that stop you. We can design a save the date with its own vibe, and the look can evolve–or be completely different–for your invitations. Our process is super personal. We will help create your vision and design a stunning stationery suite.
Q: Why work with Bespoke Designs?
With us, you’re building a relationship, and we’re going to be doing this for a long time together. We partner with couples for years, from the save the date to the wedding invitation to the guest experience, and then on to thank you notes, personal stationery, holiday cards, baby announcements, birthday party invitations and more.
But first things first - you and your love and designs that feel perfectly you.
Let’s dream together!
