I’ll never forget the email I got from a bride named Mia.

She’d just said yes to a barefoot ceremony in Maui—cue the excited squeals—and was floating somewhere between pure bliss and mild wedding-planning panic.

Her message read something like this:

“Okay, I’ve got the venue and the dress… but now I have to tell people? Like, officially? And it has to be beachy and cute and also us? I don’t even know where to start.”

If you’ve ever had that oh-wait-I-have-to-invite-people moment, you are not alone. Save the Dates might seem like a small thing, but they’re actually your wedding’s first impression. And when you're getting married by the sea? You want it to feel effortless and inviting—with just the right amount of coastal charm.

Yes! Most of our templates include space for a photo, and they’re super easy to upload, resize, and preview as you go.
