This is a partnered post with Minted. It’s probably no secret by now that I love save the date cards. Sending a save the date is a fun, easy way to get your guests geared up for the celebration ahead.

A save the date is functional, too, giving guests a “heads up” to clear their calendar and keep that date open, arrange travel, etc. By sending save-the-dates, you’ll also get a jump-start on your guest list, which will in turn make everything else about planning your wedding — like your budget — so much easier.

But what kind of save the dates should you send? Are they expensive? Luckily, there are many formats of save-the-date cards available and, no, they’re not necessarily expensive. Today we’re talking about save the date postcards, as one example, to show you that you can cut a little cost simply by eliminating the need for an envelope and more postage. Let’s discuss.

Save the date postcards are a smart idea that most couples don’t know about, yet they are a big money-saver. Unlike traditional save the date cards, postcards require no outer envelope (added cost) and the postage is less on a postcard than a standard envelope stamp.

Isn’t that awesome?!

In addition, the overall cost is less, simply because the printing size is different on postcards. To top it off, the postcard designs are just as beautiful as traditional cards!

Last but not least — and exclusively at Minted — you get FREE guest addressing and FREE return address printing! How’s that for easy?!

Let’s take a look at some of the latest save the date postcards, new for 2019, at Minted.
