Oooh I do love a great but simple idea, and this one is just downright fab.  I know there is a huge following for rustic brown recycled wedding stationery on this blog (there’s lots of you after my own heart and I love it), so I’m pretty sure this design will interest a few of you.

Designed by the very talented Allie Ruth, this is a postcard sized save the date, very simply stamped on one side with the words ‘Save the Date’, and on the back the basic details such as date and place, along with space for your guests address and a stamp.  The white lace motifs were also stamped on.

What’s brilliant, is that Allie Ruth has a fab Etsy shop where you can buy that lovely ‘Save the Date’ stamp, complete with arrow struck heart, plus she also does custom address stamps should you be looking for a new ‘Mr and Mrs’ style return address stamp.

If you loved my own homemade save the dates, but maybe want something similar but a bit different, then I think these are a lovely alternative.  I also love, that like my own save the dates, they don’t require an envelope.  Simply address them, pop on a stamp and off they go to your guests.
