DIY Save-the-Date cards
Today, I have an adorable DIY to share - created by a bride and groom who will be getting married here on Oahu at Moli'i Gardens in September.
Melissa and Danny live in San Jose, CA and they will have many out-of-town guests traveling to Hawaii to come to their wedding. Instead of sending traditional save-the-date cards, they sent luggage tags to their guests for a practical and trendy alternative.
How did they do it? This is how:
- Found a nice picture and lightened it a bit so the black text would stand out
- Downloaded fonts from www.1001freefonts.com
- Finalized the layout (front and back)
- Chose ribbon
- Ordered the color print + laminate job + cuts from a local print shop (San Jose Blue)
- Cut the rounded corners themselves with a corner cut punch and punched the corner holes
- Measured and cut all the ribbons in advance


These save-the-dates are extremely versatile and cost-effective! Any picture, any mood can be created. All you need is a whole punch, a computer, and some creativity.
