Stationery / Wedding Albums Tips
List all the Stationery you want to include -work out approximate numbers. You can set a budget easier knowing quantity required
Colour Palettes - Take colours from your bouquet to add to your invitations to tie them together
Add to stationery with other co-ordinating items e.g. Guest Book, Post Box. Don't forget presents for Bridesmaids and Best Man! We can help
Don't try to do your table plan too early on. Unavoidable things can happen meaning guests you are expecting may not be able to attend, don't stress!
Try to enjoy the planning stage, it only happens once.
Your only going to do this once - so let's do it right!
You should expect to pay around 5% of your wedding budget on stationery. This includes your invitations and day stationery, ie. Table plan, name place cards Order of Service etc
Check the total cost of your invitations. Some prices seem really good value until you add in personalisation, envelopes and RSVP’s, sometimes doubling the cost. All of our invitations include these.
If you find a supplier you like but you are still on the look out for other suppliers, try asking for recommendations.
Keep it simple! If you're worrying it's too much, then it probably is...less is more, keep wedding stationery elegant and classic.
Don't forget you will only need one invitation per couple, family or household. Don't get caught out and over order!
Don't be afraid to DIY your wedding and remember that many hands make light work so enlist your 'Team Bride' to help.
Try not to be too upset when things don't end up perfect.
Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks! It’s your big day, you do it how you want!
Start planning as early as possible to make the process as enjoyable & stress free as possible.
Proof read everything before allowing printing to start, check absolutely every detail.
Eat before you leave for the ceremony - it’s a long time between breakfast and the wedding breakfast! Make sure you get some lunch!
If you’re printing over the whole of your invitation, as in, you want a red background, don’t spend a fortune on handpressed, diamond embedded paper. You’re only going to cover it up.
Once you have found what you are looking for, stop looking.
As often as possible, meet your suppliers face to face, it is so much better to build a rapport with the people who are helping with such a special occasion.
