Save the Dates

For these ultra chic and sophisticated Save the Dates we wanted to achieve a level of luxury while still having fun. The gorgeous textured cream card stock was set off by intricate silver foiling of a baroque bold pattern and a modern large typeface. The same baroque pattern was also repeated in a light transparency onto the dark chocolate brown belly band along with silver foiled accents.

What made these Save the Dates so unique was the way it was read. To add a level playfulness about it we created a vertical belly band that covered all of the event information below. When the recipient held the piece in their hand they read “SAVE” from the foiling on the card and then on the belly band it read “your memories for toasting”, “your voice for laughing” and “your feet for dancing”. Then when the belly band was removed you would read the entire title of “Save the Date”. How about some other fun ideas you could translate this design into? Like “SAVE: Water…drink champagne!”
