Our sample Save the Dates make choosing your design so much easier. They can be fully customised for you for the perfect finish. We want you to be confident when placing a full order. Choose to have magnetic strips to ensure your Save the Date can have pride of place on a fridge where it can’t be forgotten. We can create the rest of your stationery to match your chosen design too.

Printed on thick 330gsm smooth white card stock or on our Premium 350gsm Cream Textured card, these save the dates come with a hole punched in the top and your choice of twine or double-sided satin ribbon.

CAN I MAKE CHANGES?
The one question everybody asks us is “Can we change x, y or z?”. The answer is YES! We fully customise everything so if you’d prefer to word your Save the Dates differently from those pictured then just tell us when placing your order. Perhaps you’d prefer to save the date for some other event? No problem, they are fully customisable. Need the colour or design tweaking or a different font? Just let us know when ordering.

SAMPLE TYPES
Generic Sample: a ‘James & Sarah’ or other random sample with your choice of ribbon or twine. These cards have random details on them and do not include any of your own personal information. Please note that printing on the back of cards will not be included even if selected.

Personalised Sample: A printed sample on your choice of card with your personal information on it. You will receive an electronic proof and it won’t go to print without your approval. You will receive the finished product in the post.

Electronic Sample: Perhaps you’ve had a Generic Sample already and are happy with the quality but would now like to see what your information would look like in your chosen design. Perhaps you need to have the design tweaked? Then this is the option for you! We create electronic proofs of your chosen Save the Date. You can make changes to your proof until you are happy with them. We don’t restrict the number of changes within reason. If we don’t hear from you for 10 days, then we will presume that you were happy with the most recent proof and close the order out. Please note that an electronic sample is not suitable for printing at home. It is purely for you to see what your information will look like in your chosen design.

Proofs - Please note that all proofs are shown on a white background irrespective of your chosen card type. Please always read any annotations on your proof with regards to card colour and size.

VARIATIONS
CARD COLOUR:  Choose from a smooth white 330gsm card or our lightly textured Premium Cream 350gsm card. The premium card is noticeably thicker and adds a luxurious look and feel to your cards.

CARD SIZE
Available in 2 sizes: A6 or Mini A7. Please see sizing tab for measurements.

PRINTING ON THE BACK
Continue the design across the back or write a special message on the back of your cards

CORNER OPTIONS
Have us round the corners for you or leave them square.

MAGNETIC STRIP
Peel & stick magnets to make sure your announcement has pride of place on a fridge and can’t be easily forgotten.

RIBBON COLOUR
Opt for natural jute twine or one of our double-sided satin ribbon colours.

ARE THESE FOR DAY OR EVENING?
Each variation must be added to your basket separately as they are processed separately, and each has its own proofs drawn up. Feel free to adjust the wording to something like ‘Save the Evening’ or ‘Keep your evening free!’

ENVELOPE OPTIONS
ENVELOPE COLOUR:  Kraft brown envelopes are included as standard. Other colours are available for a small surcharge. Just click on the colour you would like. We’ve searched for a long time to find the best quality envelopes at affordable prices and are really happy with what we now stock. If you do need a different colour, let us know and we’ll see what is available.

ENVELOPE LINER:  Envelope liners are on white paper. They come either Loose where they are pre-cut & creased, ready for you to stick in yourself, or fully assembled where we do the fiddly work and stick each one in for you. We create them to match your chosen design but if you’d prefer a different design to compliment your cards, add a note to your order. Choose any design you like. Browse our other envelope liner listings for ideas. They are sized to fit all our v-flap envelopes and are not available for our Premium White peel & seal envelopes.

MATCHING STICKER TO SEAL YOUR ENVELOPE: A matching sticker for your envelopes gives a hint of what’s to come. Choose from matt heart stickers, or round matt, gloss, or transparent stickers. You choose what goes on the sticker. If you’d like to order extra, you can order extra stickers here.

YOUR WORDING: You can either list the details for your order here, or you can email them to us afterwards at your convenience.

If you have ordered a Personalised Sample, it will be sent to print and mailed to you. Nothing goes to print without your approval. If after placing an order you haven’t heard from us within 3 working days, please get in touch.
