Congratulations! You’re engaged and planning your big day. With so many details to consider, wedding stationery is often overlooked. From save the dates to thank you cards, each piece plays an important role in your wedding celebration. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about wedding stationery, so you can focus on enjoying your special day.

  1. Save the Dates – Save the Dates are the first piece of stationery you’ll send out to your guests. They inform your guests of your wedding date and location, giving them time to clear their schedules and make travel arrangements. Save the Dates can be as simple or creative as you like. Consider adding a photo of you and your partner for a personalised touch.
  2. Wedding Invitations  – Wedding invitations are the main event when it comes to wedding stationery. They set the tone and style for your wedding celebration and give guests all the information they need. When choosing your wedding invitations, consider the theme and style of your wedding. You can select from a variety of colours, designs and finishes to showcase your unique style.
  3. Order of Service – The order of service is a helpful guide for your guests, outlining the different stages of your wedding ceremony. It’s particularly useful for guests who are not familiar with your faith or culture. They’ll appreciate being able to follow along with ease.
  4. Welcome Boards – A welcome board is a lovely way of greeting your guests as they arrive. You can use a welcome board to display the order of events, the seating arrangements or simply a heartfelt message of thanks. Guests will love the personal touch and it’s a great opportunity to showcase your creative flair.
  5. Table Plans – Table plans are especially important for weddings with a sit-down meal. Guests will want to know where they’re sitting and who they’re sitting next to. You can choose from a variety of styles and designs to match your wedding theme. And don’t forget to add table numbers or names to correspond with each table plan.

Wedding stationery plays a vital role in making your special day an unforgettable experience. From save the dates to thank you cards, each piece tells a story and allows you to showcase your unique style and personality. With so many options available, it’s important to start planning your wedding stationery early. Don’t be afraid to get creative and make your wedding stationery truly your own. Enjoy the planning process and all the joy that comes with it!
