Our Style

At Babooche Calligraphy we create bespoke, fine art wedding and event stationery.   Each piece is carefully designed and hand crafted with a high quality finish.  We take inspiration from nature, organic form and texture, and antique heirlooms.

Our calligraphy style is elegant and timeless and often used in combination with beautiful typography.

The selection of papers and printing techniques used to create our stationery is what makes us different and unique and we love to explore and experiment with our designs.

We love to create designs that involve texture, playing with light and dark, colour and natural shapes or touches.  Through calligraphy writing, hand drawn illustrations, watercolour, foiling, letterpress we can always provide a high quality service and product for our clients.

WHAT IS WEDDING STATIONERY?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
