Works on your phone
Your save the date is made in Studio, and you don't need to be a designer. Start from a ready-made design, and many of them fill in your names for you. Nothing goes to a guest until you choose to send or share it.
Steps
-
Open Studio from the sidebar and choose Start from a template (1). A new card opens with the templates ready to browse.
-
In Select a Template, choose Save the Date (1) to see only save the dates. Click a design to see it large on the right, then choose Use this design (2).
-
Make the words your own. Double-click any words on the card to type over them. Check every line: some designs come with a sample date and place written in. See Change the words, photos and colours on a card.
-
Give your card a name you'll recognise: click its title at the top of the editor (it starts as "Untitled Card") and type a new one. Guests never see this name.
-
When you're happy, send it the way that suits you:
- Email it to your guests from Communications. See Send your save the date by email.
- Share its link in a message. See Share your card by link.
- Print it. See Download your card to print.
Good to know
- Your card saves as you go. The line under its title says "Saved just now". Save saves straight away if you'd like to be sure.
- Any QR code on the design already opens your wedding website. To send guests to your RSVP form instead, see Make a QR code for your paper invitations.
- Want a different design later? Choose Templates at the top of the editor. A new design replaces everything on the card, so WedBuild asks first, and that can't be undone.
- Like a few designs? Press the star on one to add it to Favourites, so it's easy to find again. Open full preview shows a design in a new tab.
- Rather start with a blank card? Choose New card instead. See Start a blank card or bring in your own design.
- On a phone, the template button and New card (the +) are at the top of Studio.
- Studio comes with every plan, including the free Essentials plan.
