What each template is best for
Save-the-date cards work best when they match the wedding's tone. Use this guide to pick a template the first time:
Classic — formal invitations and traditional weddings
Use the Classic template for traditional ceremonies, parent-approved wording, and venues like country clubs, cathedrals, or hotel ballrooms. The champagne palette and serif headline read as "formal" without requiring Latin or curlicues.
Romantic — script fonts and floral motifs
The Romantic template pairs Great Vibes script with a hand-drawn botanical. It fits garden weddings, vineyard ceremonies, and venues with greenery. Couples who want a personal, handwritten feel usually pick this one.
Modern — minimal sans-serif, neutral palette
The Modern template uses a single-color block and clean sans-serif typography. It fits urban weddings, loft venues, art galleries, and couples who already have a strong visual brand.
Photo Forward — engagement photo as the centerpiece
The Photo Forward template places your favorite engagement photo behind a slim white banner. Pick this when you have a strong photo and want the photo to do most of the talking.
Tips for a great save-the-date card
- Send 6–8 months ahead for local weddings. 8–12 months for destination weddings. (See our wedding anniversary guide for the related timeline.)
- Keep one essential fact per line. "Noms de couple" + "Date" + "City" cover the contract; the rest is decoration.
- Use a photo you already love. The Reels crop tool can re-frame an existing photo to 4:5 portrait if your favorite isn't already vertical.
- Run the final PNG through our photo compressor before mailing — keeps the email attachment under 1 MB.
- Hand the photo to the AI Wedding Video Generator later to turn your save-the-date and engagement photos into a 60–90 second film.

Frequently asked questions
What size is the download?
1080 × 1350 pixels, PNG. That's the Instagram portrait aspect (4:5), which also works for WhatsApp status, Facebook posts, and a 5×7 print at 216 DPI. A 5×7 print at standard 300 DPI needs 1500 × 2100 — for that size, ask us for the higher-resolution export.
Can I use this for a wedding invitation, not just a save-the-date?
Oui, ces modèles fonctionnent pour les deux. Déplacez la date du mariage dans une ligne secondaire et ajoutez les informations du lieu + RSVP si vous souhaitez une invitation plus complète. Pour une longue invitation formelle, leoutil de collage de photosgère 2 à 12 photos, ce qui est plus proche d’une mise en page de carte imprimée.
How do I print this at 5×7?
Download the PNG, open it in any editor (Photos app on Mac/Windows, Canva, even Word), choose print at "5×7 in" with "Fit" or "Fill". For best print quality, export at 300 DPI — that's a future enhancement.
Do you store my engagement photo?
No. The photo loads directly into your browser's memory, gets composed into the canvas, and the canvas turns straight into the file you download. Closing the tab clears it. Nothing is sent to any server.
Is this free?
Oui. Pas d'inscription, pas d'e-mail, pas de filigrane, pas de niveau premium. L'outil gratuit est le point d'entrée — si vous souhaitez un film personnalisé, notreGénérateur de vidéo de mariage IAcommence à 9,9 $.
