WHAT IS WEDDING STATIONERY?
Save The Dates
A Save the Date is the first item of stationery that is sent to guests to inform your guests you are getting married and when that all important date is! It’s an opportunity to give you guests a first glimpse of the theme of your wedding, the venue, destination and anything else you want to say.
Invitation Suites
Invitation suites can consist of the actual invitation card, RSVP and Details cards. The RSVP will allow your guests to reply and let you know if they will be attending the wedding. The Details card will usually detail some important information such as travel and accommodation details. It is also popular to detail your wedding website on here too if you are planning to have one.
On The Day Wedding Stationery
One The Day Wedding Stationery can include all the special touches such as place cards, wedding menus, wedding signage, wedding table plans, wedding table numbers, order of service booklets, vow booklets and favour tags. It’s a great opportunity to carry your stationery theme into these paper goods
WHEN SHOULD I ORDER AND SEND OUT MY WEDDING STATIONERY?
Our recommendations below are not a strict guideline but we have found that it has been very useful to some of our clients. Knowing when to order and send out wedding stationery will ensure you are organised in this department!
Congratulations!
It’s best to start putting your inspiration together not just for stationery but for any idea you have may for your wedding. A lot of people start doing this one year before they get married. Pinterest is a great place to start – but be warned it can also be a very time stealing platform!
Enquire now
Now is a great time to order and send out your Save the Dates. It is a good idea to give your guests as much notice about your wedding so they don’t book a holiday or other plans in around the same time. If you are getting married abroad we highly recommend you send your Save the Dates at least one year before your wedding date.
ENQUIRE NOW
Now is a good time to follow up with ordering the Invitations and other relevant invitation suite items. These may include RSVPs or Detail Cards. Details cards are popular to send as they will contain important information about accommodation or transport details including maps. Allow for about 6-8 weeks to design and produce your wedding stationery and that includes enough time for you to proof it all too.
ENQUIRE NOW
The exciting step of sharing more insight into your special day is here by popping your invitations in the post. Now all you need to do is sit back and wait for those RSVPs to come in.
ENQUIRE NOW
Collate all your RSVPs and put that guest list together. It’s best to order your On the Day stationery items as soon as you start getting your RSVPs in. On the Day Stationery Items take about 4-6 weeks to produce. These include wedding signage, menus, place cards and order of service. These special and personalised items really provide the final special touches for your big day. It’s also a great opportunity to carry on your stationery theme in these paper goods.
ENQUIRE NOW
The Big Day has arrived!
Enjoy every special moment.
Once the wedding is over, it’s time to say a special thank you to your guests with a Thank You notecard.
