Custom Save The Dates
Make Your Date Unforgettable
Your save the date is the opening move. A small piece of paper with a big job: hinting at the celebration ahead and getting people genuinely excited to be part of it. Custom watercolor brings color, character, and a sense of fun right from the start.
Explore the Possibilities
There’s more than one way to save the date. Each of these styles makes a strong first impression and is equally fun to receive.
Traditional
A classic shape with a lot of freedom. Open-ended in all the right ways.
Postcard
Playful and full of charm. A format that feels a little unexpected and hard to forget.
Unique Shapes
A different silhouette adds a little punch. Small change, big impact.
Pennants
A touch of nostalgia. Pennants feel like an announcement and a keepsake at the same time.

A few need-to-knows
Here’s some good-to-know stuff before we start making something gorgeous together.
Read all FAQsWhen should we send save the dates out?
Around 6–9 months out for local weddings, and 9–12 months in advance if you’re whisking everyone away. Enough time for guests to block calendars, book flights, and start buzzing!
How long does the process take?
Most save the dates come together in about 6–8 weeks. Faster if you’re decisive, slower if you love a good brainstorm. Short on time? Still reach out. We’ve pulled off plenty of last-minute wins.
Do our save the dates need to match our invitations?
Not even a little. You can keep things cohesive, or let the save the date do its own thing. Some couples love a through-line. Others like the element of surprise. Both are fair game.
Can we include pets, inside jokes, hobbies, or oddly specific obsessions?
A thousand percent. If it delights you, we'll find a way to incorporate it!
How much do save the dates cost?
Most couples land between $800–$1,500. Pricing depends on format, quantity, artwork, and extras like guest addressing. We’ll walk through everything up front so there are no surprises later.

Why Wide Eyes?
Because paper should be fun. And personal. And worth keeping. We create invitations and paper goods with personality built in. Playful, art-forward designs that don’t play it safe and don’t blend in. Color, character, and a clear sense of joy are always part of the equation. From weddings to brand moments, invitations to event details, we design paper that sets the tone, sparks excitement, and makes people pay attention.
