These invitations are two sided and the print is easily customized. You can choose from a variety of edge shapes ranging from normal to scalloped. Finishes range from matte to shimmery champagne.



It is also ready to customize on postcards and greeting cards.

Blue and orange are complementary colors. Some schools even have them as their school colors.

Save the dates are helpful to guests if they need to make reservations and/or travel during popular travel times.


A canvas bag for the bride can come in handy for holding and carrying her planning materials. They can also be customized for the bridesmaids, etc.

Casual Weddings - Save the date Postcards

Although a couple has decided on having a casual wedding, sending out Save the date postcards can still be in order. A Save the date is sent as a courtesy to guests for when reservations may need to be made. A good rule of thumb is to send out the Save the dates 4 - 6 months before the wedding.

If multiple reservations are needed, i.e. hotel and airline, and/or if the wedding is during a peak travel time, i.e. around a holiday, then increasing that timeline will help your guests to make their plans.

Here are some pretty choices for Save the date Postcards:

First is the lively border of silver stars.


Next are the blue and orange flowers, with the text also written in blue and orange.


Our round choice is a colorful wreathe of flowers.


The above choices are easy to customize online; before placing your order. It is easy to type in your text.

You can also browse more Save the date Postcards by CherylsArt at Zazzle.com.

Casual Weddings - It's a Choice

Deciding to have a casual wedding is a choice. Many factors can go in to the decision, whether it's money, personal preference, or something else.

I made the conscious choice to have a casual wedding, after having been in the wedding party of my best friends wedding. It was the first wedding I had ever been in, and I was rather surprised that when the guests left the church to head to the reception, that the wedding party had to stay for photographs. So we stayed, and we stayed. We had to stand just so, we had to place fingers just so. You would have thought we were models. Then after we got the photos back, they all looked posed, as which they were. There wasn't a natural, in the moment, photograph in the bunch.

I decided then and there that I wanted natural happenings. No posed photographs. Tying that together with my long ago dream of getting married on my favorite uncle's farm, was a perfect match for having a casual wedding. When I later met my husband to be, he agreed to getting married on my uncle's farm. I knew it was a match made in heaven. People took their own photos, copies were made and shared, and our wedding was a lot more relaxed than my best friend's wedding had been.

My best friend may have loved her wedding. I never asked her. That may have been her preference, and I wouldn't want to take away from that. Everyone is entitled to their own choice. I just wanted to share, so that you know, having a casual wedding can be wonderfully okay.

All the best to you on your wedding.
