Pre-designed or customised, It's Your Choice

Your wedding invitation is the first formal note about your wedding and your guests will need to have their invite in plenty of time.

Arrange for your invitations the moment your date, time and place have been organised. Three to six months before the service is what most professional planners advise.

After working out the number of invites add around 25 invitations to your order - 10 to 12 extra for mementos, plus extras for the last minute guests. Also, based on how big your order is, add 25 to 50 extra envelopes in case of errors in addressing.

A lot of well known wedding planners have the same opinion that you should prepare to post your invitations six weeks ahead of the wedding. This gives the guest enough time to act in response.

Take care that you have one fully assembled invitation weighed up at the post office to find out the exact postage.

Every bride wants her wedding to be exceptional. A good place to make a start is with custom wedding stationery. A big benefit with custom stationery is that:

You can write your own wording

Select the font, text size and colour

Choose either a simple design or something more elaborate.

Wedding invites and themed stationery items can be bought in a choice of styles such as contemporary, classic, floral, layered, embossed and religious.

You may decide to match the subject matter of your stationery to the tone of your wedding. For instance, if you are having a garden wedding then you may prefer to have a flower pattern print on your stationery items.>More

How to Organise Your Wedding Stationery

Wedding Invitations

A Printers Tale

Arranging your own wedding can be stressful at times and wedding stationery is probably one of the hardest areas to come to a decision on.

Expect to allocate between 5% - 10% of your total budget for stationery, so take your time and get it right!

While your Wedding Invitation is the centre piece of your stationery, you will be surprised at how many wedding stationery items there are, so try not to let things get too complicated.

Take time to step back and think about what you actually need now, it is easy to get snowed under with too much detail at the beginning.

Wedding Stationery Printers are usually asked four main questions when they are first approached and the first is So, how do I plan my wedding stationery successfully?

In buying property, we are all told it is down to Location, Location, Location!

In planning, it is down to Communication, Communication, Communication!

Discuss your thoughts and ideas with your Wedding Stationery Printer.

Use his expertise, after all you are probably doing this for the first time, he advises people as part of his daily working life.

It is his job to work with you and adapt designs from your ideas and creations and to advise you on what is possible.

He should help you become familiar with the wedding stationery printing process and timescales involved, this will help you determine your needs in advance and avoid unnecessary costs.

Correspond either by email or phone regularly with him, to ensure that you get exactly what you set your heart on and that any small issues are dealt with swiftly, before they escalate into a major crisis.

Establish a good working relationship with your Wedding Stationery Printer and no difficulty is insurmountable

So what stationery do I need?

Typically, stationery for the average wedding consists of Save-the-Date Cards, Wedding Day Invitations, Wedding Evening Invitations, Reply Cards, Order of Service Cards and Thank You Cards, so concentrate your efforts on these first.

Other items such as Menu Cards, Table Place Cards, Table Plans, Wedding Favours etc. can be addressed later when you have decided on a theme for your stationery.>More
