Simple and to the point wedding Save-the-Date bookmarks.

I tried several layouts before settling on the final bookmark.
Think about the main information you want to communicate. In this case:
- Date
- Names
- Place
We also had additional information we wanted to include, so we added the secondary information at the bottom.
I used Adobe Illustrator to design this bookmark. Once I had the general design, I optimized to fit the most bookmarks per page. Since there are no margins, I didn't print cut lines.
Print and Cut

These bookmarks were printed on 80lb paper with a laser jet printer and sized them to print 8 per page.
Find the paper on Amazon here.
Once the pages were printed, I cut the bookmarks on a paper cutter to keep the lines straight and sharp. If you don't own one, I have seen them in libraries and in the lobbies of several printing places in the public area.
We received several compliments with these bookmarks. Simple, quick, and to-the-point.
