Getting engaged and planning a wedding can be extremely exciting and stressful all at the same time. While envisioning the future with your special someone will obviously make you weak in the knees, there’s a lot to do in the months and weeks leading up to your big day, and there will probably be moments where it all feels overwhelming and exhausting. Even if you opt for a small ceremony or plan a destination wedding, there’s still a long list of things you need to do, and even the most organized and level-headed bride may find herself feeling…frazzled.

But don’t fret! There are wedding planners and organizers you can buy to help you identify all of the things you need to accomplish to pull off your dream wedding, and Pinterest is full of all kinds of inspiration from wedding dresses, to hairstyles, to bouquets, to save the date wedding invitation ideas.

Which leads me to the point of this post…

When I think back to my own wedding, I remember feeling really torn about our wedding invitations. We decided early on we wanted to have an intimate affair with only our closest family members, and while I didn’t necessarily feel the need to order gold-embossed save the dates for guests, the sentimental part of me wanted a keepsake to look back on.

Unfortunately, my husband and I were married before Pinterest even existed, and there were no online ordering sites where you could design and order save the date wedding invitation ideas from the comfort of your own home, so I only had 2 options: spend a small fortune on 16 invitations, or make my own.

I decided to go the DIY route, and while our wedding invitations served their purpose, I wish I’d had access to this collection of save the date wedding invitation ideas as I know it would’ve saved me a lot of time and worry!
