Preparation
Ensure your save-the-dates stand out from the rest with DIY stationery that really pops. When folded, the shading on these clever geometric save-the-dates creates the illusion of three-dimensional boxes. When they open them up, your guests will see hexagonal cards printed with your personalized message. For maximum visual appeal, we suggest combining matte, neutral-hued paper with envelopes in rich tones. And don’t worry: this project is easier than it looks. All you’ll need is our customizable template, paper, and envelopes to tell your guests, “Be there, or be square.”
