Actually Tying-the-Knot save the date examples/templates
Cards come loosely knotted with your choice of yarn or satin cord. When you open the card, the tension pulls the knot tight. Every card is hand tied by me & tested to ensure you are sending your guests a high quality product.
Choose from the examples below or contact me to design a custom save-the-date for you!
(price for custom design ranges from $20-$50 depending on your specific design)
CARDS CAN ALSO BE USED FOR WEDDING INVITATIONS, ENGAGEMENT PARTY INVITATIONS, OR MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Full bleed (no white edge) photo. Professional photos look best but any photo can be used if they are large enough.

TESTIMONIALS
"Tying-the-Knot" Save-the-Dates
"I contacted Michele after seeing her cute and original 'Tying the Knot' save the date design on Pinterest. She worked with me to tailor the look of the card to my colour scheme and preferences. Michele was fantastic and very pleasant to work with, always fast to respond, and produced an end result that exceeded my (high) expectations! I am thrilled with my save the dates and highly recommend Michele and her unique work to all other brides-to-be!" ~Lisa H., Dec. 2011
"Michele is fabulous to work with! She was quick to respond to my email inquiry and continued to be tentative throughout the proof set up and ordering process. She answered my gazillion questions and was very friendly and helpful. She has been one of the best vendors I've worked with while planning our wedding. And when you are dealing with many vendors, the ones that stress you and don't deliver as promised, are the ones that stand out in your mind. The quality of Michele's work is beautiful and commensurate with the price. She was sensitive to our needs to receive the save-the-dates fast. It was my fault we were behind in getting these out, and Michele did everything possible to streamline the process. She emailed with the USPS tracking number when she'd shipped them, and we had them in a few days. We couldn't be happier with the overall experience and I would/will definitely recommend Michele to friends!! Thank you!!!!"

"Hi Michele! Just wanted to let you know that we LOVED the Save the Dates and so did all of our family and friends! Thank you for all your great work! We really appreciate it!!" ~Gillian & Glenn, May 2012
"Michele was so amazing to work with! Her Save the Dates are so cute and unique! From the moment I contacted her with my interest until I received the finished product, she was there to make my buying experience the best it could possibly be. She answered every question I had promptly and thoroughly. She sent me proofs, and samples, and even alternate samples so I could see options. She allowed me to customize my product until it was EXACTLY what I wanted, and when I received the finished product, I was blown away by their quality and attention to detail. I would very highly recommend Michele Purner to anyone. She has set the bar for the rest of our wedding stationary very high!" ~Sara, July 2012
"... I'd like to thank you again for your save the dates. I mailed them out at the end of last week. Let me tell you the compliments are POURING in. People are texting, emailing, calling and telling me in person that I have the cutest and most original save the date they've seen in years. I am SO happy with how they came out and the compliments are icing on the cake!!!!" ~Mallory, September 2012
"Michele is simply amazing to work with and her products are absolutely beautiful!! She is extremely responsive and willing to make any changes, and has amazing suggestions. Everyone who received our “Tying the Knot” invite instantly calls to tell me how much they love it and how special it is. Thank you Michele for all of your hard work and sharing your amazing talent!!" ~Megan & Aaron, September 2012
"Michele Purner Designs created the most amazing save the dates for my upcoming wedding! I've received so many compliments on how unique, fun and creative they were. I fell in love with the "actually tying the knot" concept, but I also wanted images from my engagement session to be included. Michele did an amazing job incorporating the two ideas. Communication was great throughout the process, Michele was always quick to answer any of my questions and had my save the dates finished very quick! I would definitely work with her again and recommend her business given the chance."
