Etsy finds: Save the date cards

I have a serious addiction to stationery: notebooks, invitations, cards you name it. When it something as special and personal as wedding stationery, you know best what you like and which colour scheme it should be. But if it’s unique you’re after, Etsy could be the place to look.

Etsy is the world’s most vibrant handmade marketplace, connecting consumers with independent creators and designers to find the very best in handmade goods.

Take a look at these inspiring ‘save the date’ cards:

Charming stationery to impress guests from the get go

I’m sure I’m not the first to say it, but Luscious Verde’s wedding stationery really is luscious. The card stock, the prints, the little details like ribbon and stitching … every card impresses you anew and keeps impressing as you take in all the small touches. I know, I’m gushing. And that’s exactly what you want guests to do, no?

Some of my favorite pieces are the little save-the-date cards that are shaped a bit like business cards and match the center motif of the accompanying invitation – like the palm tree card pictured. They can be made for any city – Nantucket features a lighthouse, Key West shows a shell. And each design element is its own layer of beautiful paper.

Check out their designs at their Web site linked above, but if you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask. Since the cards are “truly custom” I’m sure they’d come up with something special.
