The Basics
As a newly engaged couple, figuring out what wedding stationery is needed can be overwhelming - we’re here to help.
-
Wedding stationery refers to the various printed materials and items that are used to announce and communicate the details of a wedding (or maybe an event). These items are an essential part of the wedding planning process and are often used to set the tone and theme of the event.
-
A wedding suite can be a mix of any of the following items or items that may be unique to your special day.
Save-the-Date Cards: These cards are sent out to guests well in advance of the wedding date to inform them of the upcoming event and ask them to reserve the date on their calendars.
Wedding Invitations: The main event invitations are sent to the guests with all the necessary details about the wedding, such as the date, time, location, and RSVP information.
RSVP Cards: These cards are included with the wedding invitation and allow guests to confirm their attendance or decline the invitation.
Reception Cards: If the wedding ceremony and reception are held at different locations, reception cards are used to provide the details of the reception venue and time.
Information Cards: These cards may be included to provide additional information, such as accommodation options for out-of-town guests, directions to the venue, or any other relevant details.
Envelopes: Envelopes are used to enclose the various cards and ensure they are protected and presented neatly to the guests.
Thank-You Cards: After the wedding, thank-you cards are sent to guests to express gratitude for their presence and any gifts they may have given.

It’s not only essential to help communicate important details of the event, but wedding stationery is an opportunity for couples to showcase their unique style and personality, often incorporating colours, themes, and designs that reflect the overall aesthetic of their wedding. It is customary to have a cohesive design throughout all the stationery items to create a consistent and elegant look for the wedding. Many couples opt for custom-designed stationery to make their wedding invitations and related items truly special and memorable.
