Coral Fish Save The Date Cards w/ Tassel*
Set the tone for your beach or island theme wedding with the Coral Fish Save the Date Cards. This is the piece of mail that arrives long before the formal invitation, gets read twice and then goes straight onto a fridge door, where it stays for months. Guests see the coral fish, they see the city and state, and they start picturing sand instead of a church hall.
Each card is printed on the finest white matte card stock, a soft, non-glare surface that carries the color of the coral fish design without the shine of a glossy photo print. There is room on the card for the brides' and groom's names, the wedding date, and the city and state of the proposed wedding, which is exactly the information a guest needs before they can say yes. Each card comes with an accompanying envelope, so the moment the box arrives you can start addressing them.
Save the date cards generally precede a formal invitation and exist for one reason: to inform guests of the wedding early. Most couples send these cards out by mail 6 months to a year beforehand, and that head start is what turns a maybe into a yes. Sending the cards out allows for better planning, so your guests can request the time off work, watch airfares, book a room near the ceremony and arrange who looks after the dog. The further your wedding is from where your guests live, the more that early warning is worth.
The Coral Fish design makes these cards even more ideal if your wedding is planned along the beach or seaside, and it sets an expectation the rest of your stationery can follow. Guests who receive a coral fish card in January are not surprised by bare feet in the sand in June.
Your names, your date and your location are printed in-house by HansonEllis, in business since 1999. Add your wording above, choose your quantity, and get the first word of your wedding into the mail.

Wording ideas for your save the date

- Full names suit a formal wedding; first names alone suit a barefoot ceremony on the sand.
- Write the date the way you would say it out loud, "Saturday, June 12, 2027", rather than digits alone.
- Keep the city and state simple and save the venue name and street address for the formal invitation.
- If the wedding is on an island or abroad, write the destination the way guests will type it into a booking site, so the card doubles as their travel note.

Which one should I choose
The real choice with a save the date is how much of the wedding it shows, and whether it survives on a fridge door for the next year.
| Coral Fish Save the Date Cards | Choose these when the wedding is on or near the water and you want the theme to start with the first piece of mail. |
|---|---|
| A plain text-only save the date card | Choose that when the wedding has no theme yet, or when the ceremony is formal and indoors. |
| A save the date email or a post on your wedding website | Choose that when the whole guest list is online and you need the date out today; a printed card stays visible for months, which an email does not. |
For a beach or island wedding with guests who must travel, the printed Coral Fish Save the Date Cards do more work than an email, because the card is still on the fridge when the guest finally books.

Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, with rush at 3 to 5 days and expedite at 1 to 3 days, plus 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Because save the dates go out 6 months to a year ahead, order 3 to 6 months before the wedding when you can.
Can I see a proof before the cards are printed?
Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check your spelling and your date carefully first. Ask in your order notes or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
Can different cards carry different wording?
The four fields are printed the same on every card in an order. If you need more than one version, order the full quantity and email your list to [email protected] after ordering.

Can I return them if I change my mind?
