Save-The-Date Ideas

Back in my time, we didn't have what you call the "Save-the-Date" information to announce the upcoming special event of someone.  We announce special events either through print ads in the socials of highly publicised newspapers, by word-of-mouth or by sending telegrams or mails posted.

These days, anyone who has special announcements to make to highlight a milestone event in their lives can either announce it via email, via social media, send video reminders, SMS, and through old-fashioned "save-the-date" cards.

If you prefer to remind or notify your family and friends by sending Save-The-Date infos, then here are some ideas you may consider to let everyone know that there is something special coming and they better "save-the-date!"

Cards
This is the conventional way of telling everyone to remember your special date by sending out cards. There are plenty of online companies engaging in providing you with customised Save-The-Date cards according to your whim.

Videos
Why not tell them face to face? Not possible? Perhaps, a video will do the trick. You can make your very own home video and upload in social media sites or enlist the help of a talented friend of even a professional videographer to capture the moment as you inform your family and friends to note the momentous date in their calendars.


Photos
Creativity is the key and a lot of people would like to capture their uniqueness through snaps. Just like having videos, this one is in portrait. If you know someone who's very good in photography, you can ask him or her to help out with the layout.

Tickets
You can get ticket templates in the internet and other crafty sites and print them yourself after customising the details. This is a cute and budget-friendly way of sending out your Save-The-Date.

Magnets
One company that is an expert on making memorable magnets is MagnetStreet.com. This company offers fantastic selections of Save-The-Date options so you can either have them in print like cards or as magnets. This is surely a unique way of announcing your special day. Also, MagnetStreet.com is having a big sale. If you're looking for the right product to announce your special day then head on to MagnetStreet.com and avail of their 10th Year Anniversary sale! Be sure to check out their fantastic offers!

Coasters
This is a unique Save-The-Date option to consider. I have not seen any coaster Save-The-Date yet but upon checking these ideas out in the internet, I am in awe by the many creative designs you can choose from.

My Minted Planner

**This post contains affiliate links and I will earn a small portion when you click on them and make a purchase. 

I love planners. I am a chronic planner who loves to plan, change and then re-plan again. That's how it goes for me as I always have back-up plans if the original one doesn't happen or changes have to be done. Same way goes to owning several planners. I love journaling my feelings, my adventures, the dates and appointments I have to remember, special occasions and so much more. If I put them all in my nutshell, I'm not really sure how I will remember all those information.

So, it's not a surprise if I own not just but 2 planners. I ordered this Minted planner few weeks ago. I am thinking of using it for 2016 because I am already in full swing using the other one. It's nice to have a back-up which I will certainly use. Here's a preview of the front and inner flap of my new planner:

(Both photos above taken from my Minted account)

This planner is one of the many designs you can find in Minted. I chose the owl because I just love owls and I am glad that Minted carries design like this one and they have fresh designs too from artists all over.

The planner has rounded edges which makes it crease-free and I like the fact that it has a perforated edge that I can tear off to mark that day or however you want that thing to work for you.

It also has dual flap at the back where the stickers are so you can insert notes, bills, pictures of families and friends and so much more.

You can personalise some of the journals, notebooks and planners in Minted and I have chosen to do so because I love putting my personal flair on my stuff. You can also choose either to bind the planner with grommets or spiral. If you choose the spiral bind, your notebook, planner, journal will be covered with additional hard plastic flat for that added protection.

There are stickers too to mark those special events and appointments so it makes your entry pop and colourful.

The inner flap is also personalised and you can add photo there, a dedication or just some thoughts you want to annotate for inspiration.

The inside of the planner provides a weeklong space with a dedicated area for your To-Do list. If you will buy the notebook, you can choose from graphic or ruled line or even blank one and the choice is yours.

There are few pages of ruled notes month-views too. You get a Month-view and some ruled notes after every 4-5 weeks in the planner in preparation for the new month's entries.  The planner does not have specific Months and Year printed on the date entries so this makes a perfect gift anytime of the year. The only specific year mentioned is the first 2 pages for "the year at a glance" depending on when you ordered the product. Of course, if you will order in 2016, your year at a glance will be 2015 and 2016.

I love this planner. It's not very thick but enough to jot down my thoughts and feelings and those important things I have to do. I can also beautify it further with stickers and other flat embellishments from my scrapbook stash.

So, if you're planning to have one, it's not yet late. Visit Minted and avail of their spring promo of 15% off sitewide!

Notebooks, Journals and Tags from Minted.com

**This post contains my affiliate links. I will be compensated when you click on the links and make a purchase.


I just received another fabulous treat from my favourite Minted.com - $50 worth of their Minted goodies as part of the Welcome Summer + Bonus offer they have for affiliate members. And I love the fact that I am very happy to offer their products and show them around to my family and friends because I am a very satisfied customer.

This time, my daughter and I went all the way with notebooks and journals plus 1 gift tag for my family to use. My daughter had her notebooks printed with photos of her friends and classmates which she will ask them to sign just in time for her graduation. The notebooks she ordered are cute with fresh and youthful designs that really speak of her personality and joie de vivre!

And of course, would mommy let this pass without getting herself a very nice travel journal for the family's outing? No siree! I also took the liberty of choosing a very nice journal with spiral bind to document our plans, budget for travel and the travel itself.

These are lovely products that you can also give as gifts to your family and friends as all Minted products can be personalized just like the ones above.

Head on to Minted to purchase their high-quality products. Aside from notebooks, journals, tags and other stationery items, you can also get invitations, party supplies, wrapping papers and announcement cards from Minted. Go ahead, take your pick!
