Your Quick Guide to Wedding Stationery

Planning your wedding can be a little bit hectic at times. Whilst you are trying to book the reception hall and secure your church it can be very easy to overlook the small things such as your wedding stationary. On this post I want to run you through the various types of stationary that you may need for your event.

Wedding Invitations: This is without a doubt the most important part of your wedding stationary. After all, you want people to turn up at your wedding right? As soon as that date and location is booked you want to be sending these out to everybody. Sure, some people may already know when the day is, but don’t forget to send them an invite too, they will love it as a memento of a great day out. 

If not everybody will be attending the whole day, then you will also need to consider getting day invites and evening invites drawn up too.  Save the Date cards are also good, but not necessary.

Reply Cards: OK, so the invitations are out. You need to know who is coming to the wedding don't you ? Well, this is where your reply cards are going to come in handy. Give your guests something easy to use to reply to you. They can pick up the telephone, but many happy couples want to keep a record of who attended their wedding, and these reply cards are going to be great for that.

Menus: Serving food at your event? Don’t go with the menus that the caterers supply, instead get some printed up which fits in with the rest of the theme of your wedding stationary.

Order of Service: Again, the Order of Service is going to serve as a good reminder of your event. They aren’t always necessary, but it is very good to have them. The church may supply them, but again try to get ones that fit in with the rest of the day.

Place Cards and Table Plan: This is to help people know where they are going to sit during the wedding reception. It adds a real touch of formality to the whole affair.

Guest Book: Surprisingly many couples actually forget about Guest Books. I suggest that you don’t. The idea of these is to let guests leave their well wishes to you. Again, this is going to make an absolutely fantastic reminder of the event!

Thank You Notes: Once the dust is settled it is time to send out your Thank You messages. This lets people know that you were glad to have them at your event, and that you want to say thank you for spending such a happy day with you!

Of course, this is just a guide to the various components of wedding stationary that you will need to organise for your event. You will also need to plan the overall look of your stationary, from your wedding invitations all the way through to your order of service. You are going to want to try and get them looking the same so that you can really set the theme of your wedding. My suggestion is to try and get them hand-made. Yes, this will cost you slightly more, but small things like this will make the wedding experience better for all involved. We've got some fantastic Wedding Stationery designs for you to chose from

Choosing the Perfect Wedding Invitations

OK, you have the date and location of your wedding all booked up. What next? Well, now it is time to send out your wedding invitations. Many people don’t really put much thought into their wedding stationary, but I really suggest that you do. 

The day that you send out those invitations is when the countdown to your event really begins. It is the like the start of a whole new life for you. You want people on the receiving end of these invitations to get a good impression of your event, and you want them to share in your happiness. All of this stems from choosing the right wedding invitations. On this page I want to discuss a little bit about how you can find the perfect wedding invitations for your event.

Firstly, you are going to need wedding stationary which really fits in with the theme of your wedding and your personality. For example, if you are holding the wedding in the summer then you may want to go with a whole ‘summery’ feel to your wedding invitations. If you are opting for a formal wedding, then go with formal wedding invitations. Something a little more laid back and casual may call for an invitation that has bright colours. Basically what I am trying to say is that you want the person receiving the invitation to know what your event is going to be about straight away. You are pretty much setting the tone for your wedding.

I also suggest that you opt for hand-made wedding invitations. Yes, they cost more than ‘generic off the shelf’ things, but invitations made by hand tend to have a real touch of class about them. They are the perfect way to kick start your wedding. People absolutely love finding a hand-made wedding invitation on their door mat. It really makes them feel as though they are wanted at the wedding. After all, you have put a lot of effort into having these invitations crafted! Don’t worry, it won’t be you crafting them, there are a couple of companies out there that will be able to do it for you!

Remember, if you want to really ‘go all out’ you should try and find a company which will be able to make your wedding invitations in the same style as the rest of the stationary that you are using. This can include your ‘save the date’ cards, ‘menu cards’, ‘table plan’, ‘name cards’ and even your thank you cards. If you can do this, then you are creating a whole theme for your wedding. It also means a nice little memento for you of your day.

Of course, if you want the perfect wedding stationary then you are going to need to find a fantastic website in which you can purchase it. Remember, hand-made cards are going to be slightly more expensive than generic ones, but don’t worry as many of the top companies will offer discounts if you purchase some of them. Remember, your wedding truly starts the second you send out your wedding invitations. Check out our hand made wedding stationery 

The Price Ranges Of Wedding Invitations And What To Expect

Without a doubt, wedding invitations are the first glimpse and essence an invited guest gets to see of what is to be your momentous event. It is no wonder brides-to-be want this first impression to be captivating and beautiful.

However, the matter of cost for wedding invitations can put a damper on many wedding budgets especially if the budget was skeletal to begin with. Wedding invitations are most often an extension of the wedding theme and colours so finding appropriate invitations that fit these requirements might end up costing a pretty penny.

On average, good quality wedding invitations cost about £2 each while handmade wedding invitations begin at around £3 each, we have some gorgeous hand made wedding invitations here. These prices dont normally include the response cards. Although a do-it-yourself bride can print these cards independently; in terms of time, supplies, and effort it might not always work out to be such a bargain after all. Typically, a full wedding invitations package would include all or some of the following:

• At least 100 invitations/announcements and a discounted price for more if ordered at the same time
• Envelopes and tissue papers/overlay for the wedding invitations
• Directions, maps, and hotel accommodations cards
• Wedding response cards (RSVPs) and envelopes
• Save-the-date cards for out-of-town guests
• Thank you cards and notes
• Reception menu cards
• Reception cards

There might be other miscellaneous cards such as those that include the website address for your wedding website and/or blog, change of address, pew cards, et cetera. 

Handmade Wedding Stationery Table Plans

Table plans are a great way of putting a professional finishing touch to your wedding or party, but you have to get it right, here are some do's and dont's to consider.

DON'T split up family or close friends if you can help it – most guests will prefer to sit with someone they are comfortable with..

DO consider a children's table if you're having younger guests. Not everyone invites young children but if you are going to this is a good idea, and positioning it near the door can also make sense, they can be taken out if they misbehave during the speeches.

DON'T make hard work trying to sort out your seating plan. Write everyone's names on post-it notes and move them around until you find an arrangement you like.

DO try to put at least a couple of people who know each other on each table – it'll help to kick-start conversation

DON'T forget to think about the top table seating plan. Traditionally this table should seat the bride, groom, the bride and grooms' parents, the best man and the chief bridesmaid, but you don't have to stick to this!

We can make these up in any colourway or theme to match your special event.Can be framed too, please enquire, Tel 01422 204408 handmade wedding stationery table plans
