Christmas ornaments as save the dates??

Not weird at all. The STD would match the season they are receiving the STD in, and it's a totally unique way to announce your wedding date to everyone, so I think its a great idea!! There's no rule that says your STD has to match the season or theme of your wedding.

I love the idea, but I am somewhat irresponsible when it comes to RSVP'ing. I almost have to have the date smacking me in the face from the front of the fridge inorder to remember celebrations. :/

I would worry people would keep telling themselves to write the date down, and end up packing their Christmas stuff away without doing so.

But I am an over-thinker. I do like the idea a lot!

That's a great idea! Wish i would have thought of it!

Great and cute idea!

I love it and think it is really cute! And honestly, I did refrigerator magnets that I have seen on people's refrigerators right before they ask me "when is the wedding?". So even if they are packing up Christmas ornaments, I wouldn't worry too much about out of sight out of mind because they'll probably ask anyway.

I think this is adorable and super memorable! I think the point of a save the date is to tell people what date to save, and if they can't take it from there, then that's their problem to sort out.

I didn't even think about that A&K and Laura! Maybe I could include a little tag with the date? Also, any ideas on how to send them?? That seems expensive, right?

The shipping is what might get you. Maybe a photo Christmas card/STD combo? That way it's flat and easy to ship, fits in with the holidays and hangs on the fridge?

Jenn that might be the way to go!

Hmmm, maybe you do a magnet with a hole at the top to add a ribbon - so it can be an ornament but then be put on their fridge after the fact? And these can be shipped fairly easily as well. just a thought, but I love the idea!

You could do a flat ornament. My friend did this to make an "Our First Christmas" ornament with one of her wedding photos.

I'm thinking of hand delivering the ones that we can. I don't think we have very many that have to be sent due to distance. Most of the bridal party/guest list lives in the same town as us.

Another thing to keep in mind, most guest over 45 or so will have not a clue what a STD is. I got SO many questions from my older guests from them, and was even told that my "invites" were missing a lot of info! lol. And they said "Formal Invite To Follow" I would save the energy and details for the invites

What about this?

I love the idea. I would be worried about shipping though. Would you be required to pay additional shipping cost for special packaging? If not I'd go for it!

I think these are made out of card stock-type material, so they would be the same as shipping STD cards or magnets: http://www.minted.com/holiday-card-ornaments

I think it's a cute idea, but not really practical. An STD on a Christmas tree wouldn't help me remember to save the date.

Lindsay I like those! A little expensive.

I live the idea, but they will be put away after the holiday and then won't be around to remind people passed the holidays whereas I received a postcard STD and it's on my fridge so I see it often.

As long as it's holiday neutral, then sure. not everyone celebrates Christmas, and no, not everyone has 'holiday trees' to hang them on.
