Pinpoint the location of your destination wedding for guests on an outline of the surrounding area with a star from The Starcraft. 

The vast majority of destination weddings are held Stateside. With that in mind, we created these two America-happy postcards that mark your big day -- with a personal touch.

Choose a postcard that captures the spirit of your location and provides plenty of space for important travel information.

Hello! Lucky

These 3-D announcements are far more practical than hiring a plane to trail an aerial banner broadcasting your wedding date.

Bird & Banner

Send a miniature flag of the state or country in which you are marrying for a fun save-the-date keepsake.

This design is inspired by vintage travel ephemera.

Paper+Cup Design

Send your guests a heads-up -- and an altitude adjustment -- in the form of a paper airplane.

Have fun with a luggage tag-shaped save-the-date which, depending on the design, can work well for any destination wedding.

Delphine Press

In honor of Hawaii -- a perennial nuptial hot spot -- we devised this easy-to-make, impossible-to-dislike paper lei. The best part: You don't need steady hands to cut out the shapes. Just use one of our floral craft punches.

Go to a souvenir store at your destination location and you'll find a plethora of tacky postcards. Go vintage, though, and you'll find more elegant options. Check out eBay and Etsy.

For a destination wedding on the beach, a sea-inspired octopus motif adds a playful element to this flat-printed style.

Cheree Berry Papers

Mara Zepeda of Neither Snow calligraphed the paper elements for this real wedding, starting with the save-the-date, which also introduced the color palette. The folded cards were tied with orange-and-white baker's twine and stamped with the May date.

Direct guests to your wedding with this fun compass-inspired card that helps them find reasons to attend: When they spin the bottom portion of the card, they'll see all the activities they'll be enjoying (dancing! feasting! toasting!).

This bride designed her Hawiian save-the-date based on an illustration from sheet music to "Honolulu Moon."

Yellow and white alpaca wool twine wraps around the save-the-date, as a play on the location, Snow Moon Ranch, a Suri alpaca and llama farm.

Featuring the phrase "save the date" in eight languages, these DIY cards get the message across clearly, succinctly, and stylishly.

Getting married in a big city with an iconic landmark? Highlight one of its buildings by using stamps, collage-style, on the front of a plain correspondence card.
