An elegant save-the-date calendar — a correct month grid with a highlighted special date, names, and an occasion word in script.

Everything you need to know

Always-correct calendar

The weekday of the 1st and the days in the month are computed automatically from your month/year — the grid is always right.

12 month chips, a year input, and a special-date picker for the highlighted day.

12 icons × 6 colours

Heart (default), star, ring, flower, diamond, baby footprints, balloon, birthday cake, teddy bear, paw print, graduation cap, or none.

16 occasion presets

Married, engaged, gotcha day, welcome baby, baby shower, birthday, turning one, graduation, retirement, anniversary…

5 script styles + 7 text colours

Elegant flowing script (default)… plus black, charcoal, navy, gold, burgundy, sage, or blush text.

7 backgrounds

Clean white (default), soft cream, watercolour blush, watercolour wash, botanical print, textured paper, custom.

4 palettes

Classic Romance, Blush & Gold, Navy & Cream, Modern Minimal.

The signature

A correct calendar, every time

The template computes which weekday the 1st falls on and how many days the month has, then instructs the AI exactly — so the calendar grid lines up correctly no matter which month and year you pick. The editor shows the computed facts live as you change the month/year.

Example: December 2023 → the 1st falls on a Friday, the month has 31 days.

Pick from 16 occasion presets — weddings (married, engaged), newborns (welcome baby, baby shower), pets (gotcha day), birthdays, graduations, and more — or type your own.

Tips

Good to know

The calendar is always correct. The weekday of the 1st and days-in-month are computed from your month/year — the editor shows them live under the date fields.

No border by design. The prompt explicitly removes any surrounding border, frame, or stamp edge — the calendar floats clean.

No reference photo. Fully preset/text driven. Credit cost is the same as a standard generation.
