Frequently asked questions
The best time to send a save the date card is about six months before the wedding date. But if you are planning a destination wedding, send out your save the date cards ten months to a year before the wedding date to allow guests to prepare for travel and accommodation.
Yes, our save the date cards come in a classic white envelope. But if you prefer a low waste, environmentally conscious event or wedding, you can forgo getting the envelopes with your print order.
No, RSVP cards and save the date cards are not the same. RSVP cards are sent with invitations and the recipients are asked to respond if they are able to make it to the event or not. In contrast, save the date cards are invitations formally asking the recipients to attend the event. A response is not needed for save the date cards.
The main difference between these paper finishes is the amount of clay coating on the paper stock. Uncoated paper finish, as its name implies, does not have coacting. This makes the paper retain a rougher and more natural feel.
Matte and glossy paper finishes have clay coating to give them a smoother finish. A matte finish contains an ample amount of clay coat, making it easy to write on. A glossy finish, on the other hand, contains more clay coating and the paper stock is passed through metal rollers to give it a more shiny and vibrant finish.
Not at all. It’s just that most save the date cards are created for weddings. In fact, you can use save the date cards when planning any type of event where you want the attendees to know about the event way ahead of time. A few examples are retirement parties, class reunions, product launches, anniversaries, birthday parties, and a lot more.
In line with our sustainability practices and goals, we’re planting a tree for every print order placed and make choosing sustainable decisions an easier choice for our customers. We will plant mangrove and forest tree species at restoration sites across Madagascar, Kenya, Mozambique, and Haiti.
We will be planting native mangrove species of Rizhopora, Ceriops, and Bruguiera, and for forest species, we are looking at Afromontane species.
A mangrove tree’s average carbon sequestration rate is at 3.4 kg (7.4 lbs) per year or about 84 kg (185.2 lbs) over 25 years. The carbon sequestration rate of Afromontane tree species will vary, depending on size.
