We loved that this couple did a DIY save the date through her shoes in her pre-wedding shoot. You don’t need a shoot for this. You and your hubby can simply paint the details on one of your old sneakers and get just one shot of it. Voila, your unique save the date is ready to go!

Balloons

 This is my most favourite Save The Date EVER!!!!  Anything with balloons make me happy really -  Write your date on the balloon, or once again, have a friend photoshop it for you ! Hold hands, with the ballooon string in the middle and have your balloon do the talking !! So cute. Source: Pinterest.

Who needs a photo shoot when you have a video master at hand! You can simply create a fun stop motion video that can include you two or not. It can include things you like or even details about the wedding to come. Fun and totally unique! Stop motion is all about humour instead of mush - so good fun!
