But first, some common Save the Date no photo questions…

Do Save the Dates have to have a picture?

The simplest answer is: no. Although there are plenty of wedding etiquette do’s and don’ts that we often refer to, the most important rule of thumb to remember is that this is YOUR wedding. You should be able to choose to do whatever it is that floats your wedding boat. And in this case, although many couples choose to have a photo on their Save the Dates there are plenty of stellar options for Save the Dates with no photo. So don’t worry, if you’re not thrilled about having a photo on your card, you have a ton of great alternatives.

Can you hand out Save the Dates?

Sure, why not? Here at Postable, we’ll always side with snail mail, but this is YOUR wedding. While traditionally, wedding Save the Dates are mailed via traditional snail mail if you feel strongly about the idea of handing them out instead — go for it. It’s your day. 

Now, if you’re trying to abide more or less by tradition, then we’d say go ahead and mail your Save the Dates. There’s definitely something special about receiving snail mail in a time when our email and text inboxes are in a constant state of overflow. 

How far in advance do you send Save the Date cards?

Typically, you want to send your Save the Dates 6-9 months in advance of your wedding. If you have a lot of out of town guests or you’re planning a destination wedding, we’d recommend sending them about 9-12 months in advance. 

Remember, Save the Dates serve a really important purpose — they give your wedding guests a heads up to begin making arrangements to attend your wedding. This advance notice doesn’t work if it cuts too close to the big date.

Now onto the actual Save the Date no photo designs…

Destination Wedding Save the Date Without Pictures

Skipping the photo and opting for Save the Dates without pictures means you have more design elements to play with. One thing you can do is to keep your wedding theme in mind. If you’re planning a destination wedding (or even a travel-themed wedding) then these custom Save the Dates just might be what you’re looking for. 

Globe Save the Date

 

Another option for the travel enthusiasts. This version of a travel themed wedding Save the Date is a little less playful and a little more vintage with the blue-toned design elements.

Bold typography and unique design elements as well as bold use of color — means these custom designs are perfect for the couple going with a modern approach to their wedding Save the Dates. 

Balloon Save the Date

 

For the couple that wants to introduce a little whimsy to their wedding. Even though this design doesn’t play with a whole bunch of colors — sticking to the black and white scheme — the illustration and font add a playful tone to the card.

WOAH Things Just Got Real — Indeed

 

This uniquely designed Save the Date by Daydream Press will certainly get your guests excited for the celebration. The bold design elements matched with the sleek border gives this card a put together feel while still having some fun.

If you’re looking to match elegance with a black and white color scheme, this Sandra Picco Design Save the Date no photo is perfect.
