Free save the date maker
A save the date gives guests time to plan travel and leave. It only needs your names, the date and the city — so the design can be simple, elegant and very you.
Choose a style that matches your wedding colours, add a photo if you like, and send it on WhatsApp or print it as a card. Later, use the same design for the full invitation set.

Tips for a great save the date
- 1
Follow your wedding colours
Use the same two or three colours as your flowers and décor, so the invitation feels like the first part of the day.
- 2
Pair a script with a clean font
Script fonts look beautiful for names, but are hard to read in long lines. Use them only for the names and a simple serif or sans for details.
- 3
Make a full set
Save-the-date, invitation, RSVP card, menu and thank-you cards look best when they share the same design. Duplicate your invitation and change the words.
- 4
Bilingual is easy
Add an Arabic, Hindi or other language version on a second page — the editor supports right-to-left text and dozens of language fonts.
- 5
Order a proof first
Print one copy at home or at the print shop before ordering hundreds, and check colours on real paper.
What to put on your save the date
- The couple’s names, and the hosts’ names if traditional
- Ceremony and reception times and venues
- Dress code
- RSVP details and wedding website or QR code
Before you download
- Check names, dates and venue spellings with both families.
- Print one proof copy before the full order.
- Download “PDF (print)” with bleed and crop marks for a print shop, or PNG for screens.
- Check photos look sharp at 100% zoom; blurry images look worse on paper.
