In Chinese culture, the color red symbolizes good luck or fortune. But you don't have to be Chinese to love our Asian Wedding Invitations, designed to give a more contemporary look to traditional Chinese invitations.

Wedding Cards and Save The Date Announcements
Wedding Cards + Save The Date is the HansonEllis category for the announcements a couple sends out ahead of the wedding, personalized in-house with names, the date and a short line of your own. It sits under Wedding and Invitations, and the pieces here are meant to be kept rather than filed away: a sailboat save the date magnet for a refrigerator door, a wood save the date wedding postcard, a rhinestone beach wedding fan that doubles as a favor, and a polished gold genie lamp incense holder for a themed table. It suits couples who want the first thing guests receive to already carry the look of the day, and HansonEllis has been personalizing wedding pieces since 1999.
What you will find in Wedding Cards + Save The Date
- Save the date refrigerator magnets the Save The Date Refrigerator Sailboat Magnet Favor, for an announcement that stays in front of guests on the kitchen door instead of going into a drawer.
- Wood save the date postcards the Personalized Wood Save the Date Wedding Postcard, for couples who want the announcement to arrive as something solid rather than a folded card.
- Save the date fans the Personalized Save The Date Rhinestones Beach Wedding Fan, listed with a minimum quantity of 24, for a warm outdoor ceremony where the announcement can be handed out again as a favor on the day.
- Beach and nautical announcements the sailboat magnet and the rhinestone beach wedding fan together, for a beach, harbor or destination wedding whose theme starts with the save the date.
- Pieces that work twice the sailboat magnet favor and the beach wedding fan are both announcement and favor, which is worth knowing if you are trying to keep the number of separate items down.
- Table and reception accents the Gold Polished Finish Genie Lamp Incense Holder, sold as the lamp only, for a styled reception table or a themed shower where the announcement pieces set the tone.

Ordering Wedding Cards + Save The Date for weddings and events
Save the date pieces are ordered by household rather than by head count, so count envelopes, not guests, and add a few spares. There is no minimum order, although an individual listing can state its own minimum quantity, as the rhinestone beach wedding fan does. If pieces should carry different names or wording, order the full quantity first, then email your list to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order. A venue or company logo is a custom order: send a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]; a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be reproduced. Order 3–6 months ahead for a wedding. Production is 5–10 business days standard, 3–5 rush and 1–3 expedite, plus 2–5 days US shipping. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].

How many save the dates should I order?
Most couples order one per household on the guest list rather than one per guest, then add a handful of extras for late additions, for the parents and for their own album.
When should I send save the date announcements?
Order 3–6 months ahead of the wedding so there is room for production and mailing. Standard production is 5–10 business days, then 2–5 days shipping in the US, with rush (3–5 days) and expedite (1–3 days) production available if the date is closer.
Can each piece have a different name on it?
Yes. Order the full quantity, then email your list of names or wording to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order.
Can I see a proof before my announcements are personalized?
Yes. A proof is optional on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and it adds days to production. Changes after a proof carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check the spelling of names and the date carefully. Ask in the order notes or call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
Can I put a company or event logo on these pieces?
Logo work is handled as a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]. A logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be reproduced.
Do you ship wedding save the dates outside the US?
International shipping is by request. The shopping cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected] for a quote and allow extra time. US orders ship insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS with tracking emailed to you.
Can I return a personalized save the date order?
Personalized pieces are made to order and are final sale unless defective. Non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days.
