If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels clean, modern, and undeniably chic, your stationery should set that tone from the very start. Our Naomi save the dates and photo save the dates are designed to do just that—with bold typography, minimalist layouts, and styling options that feel high-fashion without trying too hard.

Whether you’re drawn to the striking simplicity of the classic, text-only version or the romantic personalization of including a photo, Naomi is made to stand out. Below, we’re walking you through both designs, plus how to style them to match your vision.

The Classic Naomi Save the Date

The classic Naomi save the date makes an immediate impact thanks to its oversized “Save the Date” header in a modern serif font with serious presence. The large scale of this type draws the eye, sets the tone, and makes a bold statement while still feeling elevated.

Beneath that attention-grabbing header, a clean sans serif font balances the layout and keeps the wedding details clear and elegant. There’s no clutter—just a refined save the date that feels current without being trendy.

The Naomi Photo Save the Date

If you love the idea of something personal and modern, Naomi’s photo save the date offers a beautifully structured way to show off your favorite engagement picture.

Available in both portrait and landscape formats, this version features a stunning arched photo frame with a delicate single-line border. The arch detail adds softness and shape, while still keeping the overall design crisp and clean.

Depending on your image choice, the tone can shift—whether you want something soft and romantic, polished and artistic, or timeless and simple—making it a simple yet powerful way to personalize the Naomi design and make it your own.

Designer Tip: Choose a photo with a bit of negative space around the couple so the arched border and text overlay can really shine. If you’re unsure which orientation or image will work best, try a few different options using the real-time suite builder on our website!

Styling Ideas to Elevate Naomi

Whether you’re choosing the classic or photo version, Naomi is easy to customize with simple, high-impact styling touches. Here are a few favorites:

Add Silk Ribbon for a Soft Finish

Silk ribbon is an elegant way to introduce texture and movement without disrupting Naomi’s modern aesthetic. In the version shown here, we used Cashmere silk ribbon—a soft, barely there neutral that adds just enough warmth while keeping the overall look clean and minimal.

Layer with a Belly Band, Vellum Jacket, and Wax Seal

For a more styled presentation, you can layer Naomi with a vellum jacket, belly band, and wax seal to elevate the opening experience. The vellum overlay softens the bold type, and the seal adds a tactile, finished detail. This version is shown with a nude belly band and our Bronze Posy wax seal, which bring warmth and texture to the overall design while keeping the palette intentionally neutral.

Coordinate Envelope Liners and Addressing for a Polished Finish

The right envelope details can elevate your entire suite. Pairing an envelope liner with clean, minimal addressing creates a cohesive, high-end look that sets the tone from the moment guests open the envelope. We styled this version with our solid envelope liner in Nude and guest and return addressing, which enhances Naomi’s crisp layout and contemporary typography.

Make It Your Own

With a wide range of styling options—including ink colors, silk ribbon, wax seals, vellum jackets, envelope liners, and more—it’s easy to create a version of Naomi that feels uniquely yours. No matter your wedding style or color palette, you’re sure to find a combination that fits your wedding style.

FAQs: Save the Dates & Modern Styling

When should I send my save the dates?

Plan to order your save the dates 9-12 months before the wedding, and send them about 6 to 8 months. For destination weddings or if many guests are traveling, give a little more notice—sending anywhere from 8-10 months in advance is ideal.

Do I need to send save the dates if I’m sending invitations?

While they’re not required, save the dates are strongly encouraged—especially if you're planning a wedding during a busy season, over a holiday weekend, or hosting out-of-town guests.

They give your guests a heads-up to reserve your date before formal invitations arrive and set the tone for your wedding style right away.

Should I use a photo on my save the date?

That’s entirely up to you! Photo save the dates are a beautiful way to personalize your suite and share a favorite engagement image, while a non-photo version keeps things clean and editorial.

What information should my save the date include? Can I mention my wedding website and/or registry information?

Your save the date should include your names, the wedding date, the city or location, and a note that a formal invitation will follow. You can include your wedding website—especially if you're sharing travel details or hotel blocks—but registry information is best saved for your website, and omitted from any formal wedding stationery.

For a full breakdown of what to include (and what to skip), take a look at our Save the Date Wording guide.

Can my save the dates match my wedding invitation suite?

Yes! All of our invitation designs have matching save the dates in both classic and photo formats, as well as wedding day stationery, so your stationery feels beautifully coordinated from start to finish. With consistent fonts, layouts, and styling options, your save the date will feel like a natural extension of your invitation—not an afterthought.
