A novel way to remind your invited guests to save the date before you send your invitations is to send a postcard with a reproduction of a painting of the church where you will be married or where the reception will be held. The painting can then be framed and hung on your wall as a memento of your glorious occasion.
To the right is a painting of the Hotel Athenee in New York where a wedding reception was held. The painting was reproduced as postcards and mailed as "Save the Date" cards.

As an alternative to house portraits, many future brides and grooms order custom created paintings with the subjects placed in various settings; a portrait of the family or wedding party in front of the church, or in front of their house, or at the wedding reception, and have been thrilled with the responses from their recipients.
When the gift just has to be so very perfect, the gift of art is always so right.
