Rose calendar save the date
This design comes from a recent save the date magnet project where we actually went with a pink rose instead of red rose. The design idea is fairly classic, with a rose, a calendar, and the important information one needs to know. Added to those classic elements is... a little bit of bling! There is a fabulous ring placed on the rose in the photograph that was used.

When to send save the dates for other events
Another question that comes up a lot: When do you send save the dates for a birthday? Or for a Halloween party? Or a Bar Mitzvah?
You didn't think people only sent out save the dates for weddings, did you? Actually, people send out save the dates for a variety of events. If you are planning something far in advance, it's going to be a big bash or important life event, or you want people to be able to schedule time of work... well, those are all the reasons you might send out a save the date. Be it for a wedding, a first communion, a milestone birthday, or major wedding anniversary. School reunions & family reunions are also common events that people will send out save the dates for.
For weddings, there is a fairly clear timeline on when to send out save the dates:
But for these other events, sending out a save the date a year in advance might be considered over-doing it.
The timeline is a little shorter for these other events. You usually send out an invitation for a wedding 2-3 months in advance. But for other events, you might only send out the invitation 1-1.5 months in advance.
You wouldn't really send out save the dates for a wedding 3 months in advance. But it does make more sense to send out save the dates 3 months in advance for one of these other events.
In conclusion: It depends a little on when you are sending out the actual invitation, whether the event is going to require hotel bookings for a number of guests, and whether it's on a major holiday. What I can say is that if you are thinking about sending a save the date for something like a big 60th birthday bash, 3-6 months in advance is a good timeline.
For a big family reunion in the summer, sending out save the dates with holiday cards tends to work well.
