Announce your wedding and the date that will take place on the front of this adorable postcard, personalized in-house on the wood itself. With the option for three different nautical designs on the front, you will make it truly yours for your special day.

Once everyone has marked your special date on the calendar, be sure to follow up with a Message in a Bottle invitation once the details are hammered out. Your guests will make it to your special day without a hitch. After the big day is done, display the pictures and your own wooden postcard in a Tropical Beach Photo Album. No detail will be untended during your big day with each of these special touches.

Which one should I choose
A save the date competes with the rest of the day's post, so the question is how much you want yours to stand out and what you send after it.
| Personalized Wood Save the Date Wedding Postcard | Choose it as the first announcement: a 4" x 6" wooden postcard with your names and date, a nautical design, and a blank back you write on before mailing. |
|---|---|
| Message in a Bottle invitation | Choose it for the invitation that follows, once the details are hammered out and you need to send the full wording rather than a date. |
| A printed paper save the date card | Choose it for the lowest-effort mailing, and accept that it looks and feels like every other card that arrives that week. |
Send the wood postcard first to fix the date in everyone's mind, then follow it with a Message in a Bottle invitation when the details are settled.

Can it really go through the mail?
Yes. With proper postage it can be dropped into the mail just like an ordinary postcard, and it arrives as a keepsake rather than a flier.

How is the wording put onto the wood?
Each Personalized Wood Save the Date Wedding Postcard is personalized in-house by HansonEllis before it ships. Enter your wording in the personalization field on this page.
How many should I order?
Count one card per household rather than one per guest, and add a handful of spares for late additions and for your own keepsake album.
When should I send save the dates?
