If you’re eloping or planning a pop-up wedding at an exciting destination, you might want to create save-the-dates that match your free-spirited vision for the day. Whether you want to send your guests fake plane tickets or find a way to add some mystery and excitement to your announcement, take a look at these creative save-the-date ideas that are perfect for elopements.
Jetting Off
If you’re jetting off for an elopement and destination wedding, try sending your guests fake plane tickets instead of traditional save-the-dates. You can list the date and destination while mimicking the layout of a plane ticket. Your family and friends will feel the exciting thrill of a vacation on the horizon when they receive your save-the-date!
Music to Their Ears
If you both love music, why not go for a vinyl-inspired save-the-date? You can make it look like an old-fashioned record and include a link to a customized Spotify playlist that will get your guests in the wedding spirit! Whether you want to include beachy, reggae tunes or romantic, acoustic songs, you can set the stage for your entire wedding with just one note.
Guessing Games
A scratch-off save-the-date is the perfect option for elopements and destination weddings because it adds some mystery and excitement when your guests receive it in the mail. List the date for your elopement, and then include a message such as “join us as we exchange vows in one of our favorite locations.” Include four to five different locations and a spot where your guests can scratch it off to reveal the answer!
If you’re planning a casual pop-up wedding, there’s nothing more fun and carefree than this type of save-the-date.
Luggage Tags
If you’re planning a destination wedding, mock luggage tags will add to the travel-inspired theme for your wedding. Include the date, time, location and destination of your wedding on save-the-dates that are printed and cut in the shape of luggage tags. Your loved ones will immediately want to start planning for your elopement!
Paper Airplane
Want to go back to the whimsical fun of your childhood? Try announcing your elopement on save-the-dates that are shaped like a paper airplane. You can include a message like “book your flight!” to match your airplane theme.
