Giving Tree Save the Date Wedding Announcement for Fall

Published by The Budget-Minded Bride Blog at 8:50 PM

How sweetly romantic is this save the date wedding announcement for Cristin Witcher and her fiance Adam Siegel’s fall Chicago nuptials?

Adam designed the whimsically simple letterpressed announcement and matching tree branch mailing labels using The Giving Tree as his inspiration, a book that has special meaning to the couple. Their wedding website URL at the bottom of the card provides guests useful information about hotels, logistics and registry.

I love that the concept is so versatile. Use it for summer and spring weddings and showers by coloring the mailing label and invitation leaves in shades of green. Change the text for a children’s birthday party invitation with an eco-friendly theme.

Cristin and Adam have graciously shared their tree template here at Merriment for free with the request that anyone using the template post a comment below or email me to track its usage.

Supplies:

* Cristin and Adam’s free Giving Tree fall save the date announcement template (PDF, edit using Adobe Illustrator)
* Luna font (free!)
* Color printer
* #10 size flat cards (if letterpressing)
* 8.5 x 11 cream luxe 210 weight paper (if printing yourself)
* Paper trimmer
* #10 size envelopes
* Optional: Cristin and Adam’s free envelope label template (Microsoft Word)
* Optional: Avery labels
