Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You’ll have a chance to add envelopes after designing. Please note that you’ll receive one envelope for each card. You can skip envelopes, too.

Not quite. Both provide guests with essential information: the difference is how much. With save the dates, you’re simply announcing your wedding and asking loved ones to hold the date for the occasion (hence the name). Save the dates should always be sent before invitations so that guests have ample time to plan and block off time for the event.

Invitations, on the other hand, are sent after save the dates and contain all the important details about your wedding. That includes the time, date and address of the ceremony and reception. Lots of couples also add enclosure cards with info on lodging, transportation, maps to the venue, etc. If you’re hosting multiple events (such as a rehearsal dinner or farewell brunch), it helps to include an itinerary as well. Last, but definitely not least, invitations should always contain RSVP cards (or a QR code to RSVP).

We recommend mailing your save the dates about six to eight months prior to the big day (or a year if you’re hosting a destination wedding).

In addition to our paper save the date cards, we offer fully customisable save the date magnets – a popular option for wedding souvenirs.

That depends on the tone of your wedding and your relationship with the guests. If you’re having a formal wedding, use full names and titles, like “Mr. Max Smith and Mrs. Samantha Smith”. If you’re planning a more laid back ceremony, you could use first names only, like “Max” and “Samantha”. Don’t forget to include everyone invited, such as “The Carter Family” for households with kids. And if you're giving guests a plus one, you can say something like "Max Smith and Guest”. At the end of the day, there’s no right or wrong way to address your save the dates as it depends on your wedding’s vibe and personal preference.

Yes, two of our paper stock options fit the bill:

Corn Stock is an alternative paper made from a mix of recycled fibre, Elemental Chlorine Free pulp and agricultural waste (otherwise discarded in landfills). Corn Stock saves 15% of tree pulp used in manufacturing paper and replaces it with organic produce waste from corn. It reduces carbon emissions by 20% compared to traditional paper production methods.

Kraft paper is crafted from responsibly sourced materials, and is both recyclable and compostable.

Not at this time — if you upload your own design, you can’t add embossed foil accents. If you want foil accents, please select one of the foil enabled templates from our gallery.

Once you’ve selected a template, you can choose where you want your foil accents to go. Please note that we only offer foil printing on one side and certain areas of the product or invite. If you go beyond these areas, the accents you’ve selected will be printed in regular ink.

Not at this time. You can only choose one foil colour for each design. We offer three different foil colours: gold, which is great for elegant designs, silver, which is perfect for creating contrast and rose gold which complements lighter designs.

The scalloped shape is available for both portrait and landscape orientations. The arched shape is available for portrait only. Standard and rounded corners are available for every orientation.

Note: The scalloped and arched options cannot be resized as the shapes are default settings.

The rounded, scalloped and arched options are die cut, which means they’re cut to their exact shape from manufacturing. You won’t need to do any further prep – they’ll arrive ready to be sent out to your loved ones.
