Before
you embark upon ordering your wedding
paper essentials, be smart about the situation and put together your list
of everything you need.

Not
only can this help you stay on top of your budget but also keep you organized
every step of the way.

From
menu cards and escort cards to programs and more, we are breaking down
everything you need to stay ahead of the stationary game.

Wedding
Stationery

Wedding invitations

Wedding
invitations
hold a special place in many hearts. It’s no wonder why couples pull out all
the stops to get the perfect pick that’s affordable and esthetically pleasing.

If
you’ve got a theme in mind, allow your wedding
invitation to cascade along. Remember, the invitation sets the
tone for your celebration so make it count. Be sure to include all the details
like time, date, dress code and venue of course.

Experiment
with fun shapes, styles and materials to nail the vibe you want. There’s simply
no hard and fast rule here.

Save
the date cards

Unique
save the date cards serve as the first form of interaction you’ll be sharing
with guests before the wedding. Whether you plan to include save the date
animations, customized postcards, save
the date wedding designs
or the most adorable photo magnets- the choice is all yours. Play around with
creativity and explore all options.

Make
it a point to include the 4W’s in your save the date announcement. And by this
we mean Who it’s From, What the event is, When it is and Where it’s being
hosted. Some hosts add their wedding
website too.

Above
all, mention that a formal invite will follow so guests know what to expect.

RSVP
cards

RSVP
cards
ask guests attending to’ respond sil vous plait’ on whether they’re attending
or not. They can be printed as separate entities but are usually delivered in
pockets of the actually wedding card itself.

Most
RSVP cards are sent 8 weeks before the big day while guests are asked to
respond on lines provided on the card, at least 3 weeks before the event.

As
a host, you can devise a card that coordinates with the wedding invitation for a stylish matching affair. Most RSVP cards
are smaller than the actual invite itself so be mindful when finalizing
options.

Thank
you cards

Wedding thank
you cards
show guests that their inclusion means so much. You can customize your thank
you cards for the weddinggifts,
reception, post wedding celebrations and more. After all, loved ones took out
the time to be a part of your big day.

Digital
variants and printable notes are hot sellers among hosts but you can pick a
style that best suits your preference. How about selecting personalization with
your initials as the monogram or a foiled stamp perhaps? Remember to be mindful
of their size as these tend to be on the smaller side.

Table
cards

Table cards
for wedding reception
designate who sits on which table. They serve as resourceful guides that
dictate sublime organization during the wedding
planning process.

Most
sit down dinner reception ceremonies include formal table number place cards
being delicately placed at the guests’ exact location. The font style is
usually kept elegant, size medium but bold and clearly visible from a distance.

Menu
cards

Playful,
visual and oh so sophisticated- wedding menu
cards for dinner party go above and beyond classic chart
options. Not only are they super useful in terms of letting guests know what to
expect culinary wise, they serve as intricate décor to formal dining setups
too.

Be
sure to let guests know of everything and anything you plan on serving at the
reception, especially when it’s a multi-cultural affair. Its common courtesy
and etiquette to do so.

Also,
tie in the event’s theme to match menu cards on the table for a coordinated
touch.

Program
booklets

It’s
good to give wedding guests an outline of what events to expect, keeping them
informed. Wedding program
booklets should include the ceremony’s order, wedding party member names, cocktail
hour times and other pertinent detailing.

This
timeline usually comprises of a paper that relates to the overall wedding style and is handed during the
nuptials.

Accommodation
cards

Destination
wedding or
not, accommodation cards for wedding
invites serve up as stylish stationary to inform guests about their
residential options at hand. Match the design to the original vellum invitation
or catch guests off guard with a truly unique template- totally your call.

In
cases where a block or hotel isn’t booked, it’s thoughtful to list a range of
options where guests can stay at conveniently.

Mostly,
you’ll find accommodation inserts for your personalized
wedding invitation comprising of transport details, directions and
schedules too.

Gift
registry cards

Worried
about how to ask guests for gifts for your weddingregistry? Gift registry
cards are a sophisticated and formal way of getting the gifts that match
your needs as well as taste. Couples who aren’t fond of gifts can ask for
donations to the charity of their choice.

Make
it a point to add relevant details of preferences and appropriate links to your
already setup registry. Print these in dynamic designs and place in affordable wedding invitations.

With this simple guide, getting
your wedding stationary organized
and on point has never been easier.
