5 Trendy Engagement Cards to Consider
Celebrating your engagement is an important occasion that shouldn’t be taken lightly. It’s important to let others know about the new chapter in your life as you prepare to spend the rest of your lives together.
With wedding planning starting or just around the corner, take a second to think about your engagement cards. Your engagement card should reflect your unique relationship and love for each other. But how should an engagement card look? What should it say and how can you make sure your card ends up on the fridge? There are several different ways and designs you could use for sending an engagement card, even if you don’t have a wedding date in mind.
Creative Printing is here to make it easy for you to design and print your engagement cards. Here are 5 trendy engagement card ideas for you and your fiancé to consider sending out.
Save The Date Card
Haven’t had the time to go out and take engagement photos? No worries, picking out the perfect photo can be stressful anyway. You can always keep it basic with a simple but effective save the date card. Make sure to include your name, the announcement, the date, and the location. You can also add in a wedding registry QR code or a link to view all your engagement photos if you couldn’t just pick one.
Having a save the date card is a simple and sweet way to let your family, friends, and loved ones know about your engagement and they can block off their calendar for a grand celebration. It’s important to get your save the date engagement card out sooner rather than later so everyone you want to be at the wedding can be there. If you feel this is too simplistic, you can send a more formal wedding invitation at a later date.
Modern Engagement Postcards
Think about what you do with any wedding invitations or engagement cards you get. If you are like most people, you keep the card on your counter, put it on your fridge, or keep it somewhere else out in the open. Engagement cards in the form of a modern postcard fit perfectly on the fridge and have enough space to show off engagement pictures. Go with a cute, simple postcard to get the message across while looking good doing it. You can pick your favorite stamps or make your own customized stamp that everyone will be able to see.
Not only are postcard engagement cards the perfect size, but weddings can be expensive and prices will start to add up. With postcards, you can save money on printing and envelopes (not to mention the time it would take to stuff all the envelopes). Use this design to save time and money that you can then put back into your wedding day.
Calendar Engagement Card
This style of engagement card is great for both save the dates and wedding invitations. The design is simple but you can choose to add more to your card, like making it acrylic or adding some of your favorite color schemes. This will help your card stand out from others in a stylish way and will make it easy for people to remember the date of your big day.
Pick your favorite calendar sign and send out a card with a heart around the date of your wedding. If you want, you can add in little events on the other days. Try putting some of your favorite date ideas or movies for movie nights on different days of the calendar so others can get a sense of what you and your partner like to do for fun. Calendar-styled cards are a unique way to spice things up on traditional engagement cards.
Polaroid Throwback
Who doesn’t love a good throwback? With this special design, you can go old-fashioned and design your engagement card to look like an old-school Polaroid. You can also edit your engagement photos to have a retro look to match the card. Or you could mix things up and add in old pictures of you and your fiancé to show off how much you have both grown.
Regardless of what pictures you choose, this elegant design is a great way to announce your engagement and plan for the future.
Destination Engagement Card
Pack your bags for your destination wedding! Theme your engagement card around where you are going to get married. It could be a tropical beach, the picture of the place on a map, or in a local garden abroad. Wherever you want to go, you can design your card around it. Bonus points if you shape your card to look like a plane ticket or luggage sticker. With this engagement card theme, the possibilities are endless.
Even if you aren’t inviting everyone to the destination wedding, you can still make a cute destination card and send people an engagement card to let them know you are planning a destination wedding.
If you won’t be traveling, you can theme your wedding around a location. Explore different areas in your state and you’ll be able to theme your card around beautiful parks, gardens, beaches, and more local areas.
