Tips for Using Rubber Stampers to Create Unique Save the Dates

• Use your chosen stamp to accent envelopes (in front or on the back flap) containing a photo of the two of you and the basic wedding details.
• For stamping on cards or tags, use budget-friendly materials like kraft paper, vellum, or pre-cut cards, tags, stickers, etc. available at craft or stationery stores.
• Opt for an ink color other than black. Against a darker color of paper or cardstock, white or metallic inks like silver, gold, or copper would make a striking effect! Be sure to ask the vendor about ink usage, or check the packaging for instructions.
• Create interesting effects by adding stickers, a bit of ribbon, or a touch of glitter to the stamped design, based on your wedding theme or style.
• If your budget allows, stamp the save-the-date to make DIY “wrapping paper.” Then, use it to wrap up token items related to your theme (for example, little sand dollars to announce a beach wedding).
