Save the Dates - Keeping it Simple

We've been seeing more save the date inquiries and orders now that we are at the end of Summer and couples are planning for 2012 weddings. The save the date, like the rest of your wedding stationery, should reflect your personality. For some couples, keeping the design and message simple on the save the date is a perfect fit.

All of the designs featured in our letterpress love albums feature save the dates. Many of our couples mix and match our design patterns and artwork to create a save the date that is personal to them. Below are just a few save the dates that we find endearing in their use of color and design. Need more inspiration? Visit our website or preview our photos on our flickr page.

Happy Wedding Weekend, Joy!


All of us at Spark would like to wish Joy and Adam well as they are married this weekend! What better way to acknowledge their grand affair than by showing off Joy's wedding stationery.

Featured above is their save the date, printed on bright white cotton stock in royal and fuchsia inks. The photos were supplied by their photographer, Despres Photography, and Spark did our magic to make the photos letterpress ready. We love how the finished save the date looks - showing off the happy couple!

Their invitation stationery was inspired by our Margaret design and printed on Lapis Lazuli metallic paper (pocketfold and envelope liner), soft white cotton stock, and fuchsia paper - all in royal ink. The pocketfold is printed with the Margaret pattern on the front flap in a tone on tone look and tied off with our string and button closure (button in silver metallic and string is fuchsia). We especially love the icons used on the wedding day weekend card!

Best wishes to Joy and Adam from all of us at Spark!
