When you announce the date of your big day, you want everything to be right. That’s why at Vintage Prints, we always offer the option to have sample save the date cards printed and sent to you. Our bespoke designs come in a wide variety of styles, meaning that you might be torn between two, three or even more options!
Whether you’ve got everything booked and you know all of the details, or you’re simply gauging who can make certain calendar dates, save the date cards are often the first that many of your guests will even know about your special occasion. These are very commonly the first piece of stationery that a couple orders and that guests see.
That’s why it’s so important to get them right. We make ordering your sample choices as easy as possible, although you’re spoiled for choice with our unique, handmade selection of bespoke save the dates.
There are a few reasons why samples are a good idea. The first reason simply comes down to choice. Considering the wide range of designs, colours schemes, and themes, it’s very common that you will have more than one favourite. Understandably, many couples will want to be able to see and feel the physical cards before they make their choice.
Being able to feel the texture of the samples is very different to looking at them on your computer screen or your phone. That physicality highlights the bespoke nature of our wedding stationery. If you're torn between several designs, picking a few different options will always make it easier to make the perfect choice for your wedding.
The other main reason for ordering these types of cards is to keep tighter control over your wedding day spending. Having a sample of your save the date means that you can double-check everything is absolutely perfect. And if there are any unexpected changes to the wedding date, ordering samples instead of a bulk order means that you aren’t left with hundreds of save the date cards that have the wrong date on them.
When you're happy with the style, and confident that the day is booked, you can order as many as you need and start sending them out to your guests. You’ll be completely confident that you've made the best choice, and that you're one step closer to having the perfect day.
