About The Designer

Toby Simon, illustrator and calligrapher behind Savor The Date, developed her drawing and painting skills while studying industrial design at Carnegie Mellon University. It was there that she stumbled upon a calligraphy class and discovered her passion for the art of letter writing.

After graduating she moved to the cultural, colorful city of San Francisco. As she honed her drawing style she created a line of greeting cards which sold in boutiques around the city. It was
at that time that many of her friends were getting engaged.
Wanting to give these couples something special, she custom illustrated save the date announcements for their weddings and bridal showers. She had so much fun with these and received so many kudos that she began pursuing this service more seriously.

Toby created Savor The Date for the vibrant, excited, giddy and colorful bride who savors the planning process, yet never loses sight of what her wedding is all about. Still smitten with her husband Dave, Toby knows that every couple has a unique love they should communicate to their friends, and loves being able to help you with this declaration!
