Many couples choose to send out save-the-date videos rather than mailing out reminders. I love this idea! Not only does it save you money on postage, it is also eco-friendly because you don’t have to use cards and envelopes! Who doesn’t want to include a few green elements in their wedding festivities?
Another reason I love the idea of creating save-the-date videos is that you’ll have a video of you and your love to hold onto as a pre-wedding keepsake! Whether you hire a videographer to create a cinematic save-the-date film or decide to have fun with a DIY video … there are so many ways to make your save-the-date videos a custom addition to your wedding plans! Below are some examples of how couples have put their own custom spin on the video save-the-date…

Mad About Pinwheels
I love creative DIY projects for weddings! I believe any way to save a dollar when planning a wedding is a good thing. That is why I am in love with the fact that pinwheels are now in style for party décor. Pinwheels are easy to make and are fun to play with. If you make 100 pinwheels … you have yourself an art installation!
Think about placing pinwheels in your floral bouquets or giving them away as a wedding favor. You can also decorate the reception and ceremony areas with them. Even use them as the groom’s boutonnieres! No matter what you decide to do with them, your guests will love them!
