Washington DC Save the Dates Letterpress Vintage Monuments

Washington DC Save the Dates

These Washington DC letterpress save the dates feature vintage images of DC monuments and landmarks, setting the stage for your retro DC wedding! Letterpressed images of the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument are a classic skyline to get everyone in the Washington DC mood. The save the date can be done in traditional colors of gold and black, or any color that fits your style. Classic and more modern fonts both work well with the monument layout.

Vintage Monuments in Letterpress

Antique Library of Congress images of Washington DC sites were converted to a letterpress format, an appropriately antique print style to match the design. No matter what time of year you will be holding your wedding, these images of our nation’s capital are great scene-setters for your DC wedding. These letterpress save the dates were printed in 1 color on 110lb cotton paper, a thick but not too thick introduction to your wedding! For your own custom Washington DC save the date or other theme contact us in our Washington, DC studio, we’re here to make a statement with your invitations!

This design is also available as a digital print from our Zazzle store!

If you’re having a summer wedding in Cape Cod be sure to send out your save the dates well in advance, those hotel rooms book up!

You can also go classic with your destination, like these stunning gold foil script save the dates for an elegant wedding in Las Vegas.

When it comes to custom save the dates, our goal is to make them special and meaningful for you. These great quilt save the dates were designed to combine the location feel of Amish country, and the groom’s Persian heritage.

When should you send your destination save the dates? Get them out early! Your guests will need time to book their flights and plan their vacation, so if you want them to be at your special day give them enough time to plan. We recommend eight months in advance for international wedding locations, or more depending on how hard it is to book accommodations at your venue.
