Text My Wedding

Digital Save the Date Templates

Digital save the dates are designed for the screen: high contrast, few words, and a date large enough to read without opening the image. Every one of them exports as a PNG sized for a message.

Sending by text is also the only format where you know it arrived. Text My Wedding sends the card to your whole guest list and tracks who has seen it.

Choosing

Which digital save the date is right for your wedding?

Four questions that narrow 27 templates down to two or three, faster than scrolling will.

Delivery

Texting, posting or magnets?

Texted cards need a large date and very few words. Printed ones can carry fine rules and dense layouts. Magnet designs keep everything clear of the trim.

Photo

Do you have photos yet?

If the engagement shoot has not happened, pick a typographic design. Photo layouts render their frames as flat grey until you fill them.

Venue

Is the venue booked?

Save the dates go out early, often before the venue is locked. Designs that name only a city survive a change of plan; ones tied to a landscape do not.

Travel

Are guests flying in?

Destination weddings need more than three facts — a date range, rough travel time and a hint at the hotel block. Those designs make room for it.

Next step

Ready to send your save the date?

Customize the design in Canva, then use Text My Wedding to text it to every guest at once and keep the list for the invitation.

How editing works in Canva

What changes, what stays, and what you get back when you’re done.

  1. Open the template in Canva. Every design on this page opens in a new tab, and a free Canva account is enough for all of them.
  2. Replace the wording. Names, date and city are ordinary text boxes — click and type. Nothing is flattened into the artwork.
  3. Drop in a photo. Designs with photo wells accept a dragged image and crop it to fit. Typographic designs have no wells to fill.
  4. Download. PNG or JPG for texting, PDF for printing.

Come back to Text My Wedding to send the finished file to your guest list — every guest gets it as a text, and the list you build now is the same one the invitation and the RSVPs will use.

Questions

Digital save the date questions

Are the digital save the date templates free?

Yes — every design in this collection is free to open and edit in Canva, and none of them require Canva Pro. A free Canva account is enough to change the wording and download the file.

What should the wording say?

Names, the date, and the city — plus "invitation to follow". A save the date is not the place for the ceremony address, timings, dress code or RSVP details; all of that belongs on the invitation.

Can I text a digital save the date?

Yes. Export a PNG or JPG from Canva, create your event in Text My Wedding, and send it to your whole guest list at once. There are no addresses to collect and you can see who received it.

Can I print these instead?

Most designs here export as a print-ready PDF from Canva, so any print shop or a home printer will handle them. Each template's page lists its exact orientation and download formats.
