Destination weddings require save the date cards so guests who want to attend have time to save money for the trip and plan it into their schedules. To make your wedding stand out, you need to make a statement. Set the tone and theme of the wedding with your save the dates by making them unusual. These do not have to be expensive; they just need a bit of creativity.
Message in a Bottle
These are a perfect idea for anyone planning a beach or tropical wedding. Message in a bottle save the dates are fun and will make an instant impression on your guests. They are simply your intended wedding date written on a scroll, rolled up, tied with a ribbon of some sort and stuffed in a bottle. Some couples choose to also put labels on the bottle.
Local Postcards
Get postcards from the wedding location, and send them out to guests to inform them of your upcoming wedding. This sets the scene for where you will be getting married and brings some local flavor to things.
Snow Globes
Snow globes are a fun idea for a winter or cold weather destination wedding. They are just regular snow globes with your save the date information listed somewhere on or inside the globe. Some couples get really creative and make their own using plastic bride and groom figurines, but you can do whatever best suits you.
Engraved Golf Balls
Planning a wedding at a golf course? Have golf balls engraved with your save the date information, and send out a ball to each of your invited guests.
Luggage Tags
Destination weddings involve travel, so have custom luggage tags made. You can have the save the date information put on the luggage tag or printed on a cardstock sheet and inserted into a clear or see-through luggage tag slot. These can then be sent you your guests. It is a fun way to make the announcement as well as a little gift to your guests that they can use on their trip to your wedding!
