Arabic and English wedding Save the Date cards for UAE guests
A Save the Date goes out weeks or months early so the people who matter block the date before travel and calendars fill up. We design احفظوا التاريخ cards that set the tone — without giving away all the details that belong on the formal invitation.
This is the early heads-up, not the full invitation. We keep it deliberately light — names, a date, a feeling — and use احفظوا التاريخ, احتفظوا بالتاريخ or ثبتوا الموعد as you prefer. When the details are set, the formal wedding invitation follows.
What you provide
We need only a little to begin. The more detail you send, the sharper the design.
- Names and the wedding date
- City or country, if guests travel
- Preferred Arabic wording for 'Save the Date'
Recommended scope · Enhanced scope
Two clear scopes — pick what fits your event

Final pricing is shared on WhatsApp once the scope is confirmed — no fixed prices are posted here.
Just enough, not everything
A Save the Date should make guests hold the date, not plan their outfit. We keep venue, timing and RSVP off it deliberately — those belong on the invitation that follows.
Add-to-calendar and WhatsApp
We can include an add-to-calendar link so the date lands straight in a guest's phone, and size everything to share cleanly on WhatsApp.

Every design below is an original Big Story demo, clearly labelled نموذج. We swap in your names, date, venue, wording, language, colours and motion for your order.

Turnaround & revisions
Once we have your names, date, venue and preferred wording, a static design is typically ready to review within 2–3 working days; an animated invitation within 4–6 working days. Rush timing is possible depending on the week — ask before you book a send date.
The Static Social Suite includes two revision rounds; the Motion + RSVP Suite includes three. Further changes are quoted per round so the scope stays clear.
Frequently asked questions
Arabic and English wedding Save the Date cards for UAE guests
What is the best Arabic wording for Save the Date?
The common options are احفظوا التاريخ, احتفظوا بالتاريخ and ثبتوا الموعد. We use whichever your family prefers.
How is a Save the Date different from the formal invitation?
A Save the Date is an early reminder with just names and a date. The formal invitation, sent later, carries venue, timing and any RSVP.
Can it include WhatsApp sharing and an add-to-calendar link?
Yes — we size it for WhatsApp and can add an add-to-calendar link so guests save the date in one tap.
