Congratulations — you’re engaged!

Now you get to start planning. And once you’ve set a date, it’s time to notify your friends and family with the classic save the dates. But you don’t have to do what everyone else does! The wedding blog A Practical Wedding has compiled 50 different creative ideas for save the dates, from twists on the traditional to the completely unconventional. Announce your wedding date with a seed packet or a vintage paper doll or even a scratch-off ticket.

You and your partner are unlike any other couple. Maybe your save the date should be just as unique as the two of you.
