Willow Tree Save The Date Cards w/ Tassel*
The Willow Tree Save The Date Cards are a perfect tool to notify guests of an upcoming wedding. A save the date card does not take the place of a formal invitation; it arrives long before it, so the people you love can book a flight, request the time off and quietly write your date in ink. The willow tree motif does the quiet work of setting a tone. Guests open the envelope, see the branches, and understand this is a wedding, not a party invitation, months before they see a single detail of your ceremony.
At 5" x 4", the card is small enough to slip onto a refrigerator door or a desk corkboard and stay there until the invitation arrives. Each card is printed on fine white matte card stock with an accompanying envelope, and is finished with a tassel. The matte stock is the detail people feel before they read anything: it has weight and no glare, so your names photograph cleanly when guests post the card and tag you.
The cards come in 4 vibrant card colors to choose from: baby blue, sage green, red, and plum. Baby blue and sage green suit a garden or outdoor wedding, red carries a formal winter or Lunar New Year palette, and plum sits beautifully with autumn florals. Your card color is the first hint of the palette your guests will walk into on the day.
For the personalization, wedding couples will have the bride's name, groom's name, wedding date, city and state printed on each card. That is exactly what a guest needs to plan: who, when and where to travel. HansonEllis prints each card in-house, the way it has produced wedding stationery and personalized favors since 1999, so the names are set cleanly and consistently across your whole order.
Ensure your guests have enough time to plan for your wedding. These Willow Tree Save The Date Cards are an ideal pre-invitation announcement for couples who would not leave any stones unturned in preparation for a successful event. Enter your names, date, city and state above, choose your quantity, and get your date on every calendar that matters.

- Use the names guests actually call you rather than full legal names, so the card reads warmly
- Write the date out in full (June 12, 2027) when you want it to read formally, or use numerals for a modern look
- Keep the city and state simple, and save the venue name for the formal invitation
- Match the print color to your card color for a tonal look, or contrast it for a card that reads from across the kitchen
- Order a few extras for the guests who get added later, and one for your own keepsake box

Which one should I choose
Couples usually weigh a printed save the date card against sending nothing until the invitation, or against a digital announcement.
| Willow Tree Save The Date Cards | Choose them when guests have to travel: the card lands on the refrigerator with your names, date, city and state, and stays visible until the invitation arrives. |
|---|---|
| Waiting and sending only the formal invitation | Choose that only for a small local wedding; guests who need flights or time off will have committed their weekend by then. |
| An emailed or social media announcement | Choose it as a supplement, not a substitute; it is free and instant, but it scrolls away and nobody pins it to the kitchen wall. |
If anyone on your list is flying in, the printed Willow Tree save the date is the version that actually holds the weekend.
Ordering the Willow Tree Save The Date Cards w/ Tassel for weddings and events
Save the dates are ordered by the guest list, so count one card per household rather than one per guest and add extras for the names that appear later. There is no minimum order. The printed wording is the same across the order; if certain cards need different wording, email your list to [email protected] after ordering. A company logo or custom artwork is a custom order: send a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected], where a logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be printed. Standard production is 5–10 business days, rush 3–5, expedite 1–3, plus 2–5 days US shipping, and wedding stationery should be ordered 3–6 months ahead so guests have real planning time. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
