handmade wedding stationery | details
Your stationery design and colour should be considered as part of the Wedding theme. This starts with the Invitation and follows right through to the Menus, Place Cards and finally the Thank You cards to ensure the theme is complete.
Save the Date Cards
These are a unique way of letting your guests to be know that they are going to be invited to your wedding. Especially if your wedding is during the summer months, when people may be going on holiday. Guests that receive one of these will also need a formal invitation to your wedding.
Wedding Day and Evening Invitations
These are normally posted twelve weeks before the event. It is advisable to order a few extra invitations to allow for mistakes and additional guests.
R.S.V.P Cards
These are sent with the invitations to encourage your guests to reply promptly and enable you to finalise your seating and catering arrangements.
Menu
Your guests will be interested to know what the food and drink arrangements are, whether it is a seated dinner or a more relaxed buffet. The menu can also advise them on speeches and toasts. You should order a minimum of three, per table of eight, plus a couple extra for the top table.
Place Cards
These are made from the same card and style as your invitations. They are usually left blank for your guests name to be added. Most place cards are ‘tent fold’ and free standing.
Wedding Website
This is your custom made website which will include all of the useful information that your guests will need for your big day. Some examples could be: Wedding list, venue location map, hotels in the area and local taxi numbers. This can be customised for your day and you will get and individual link to send to your guests.

Thank You Cards
This is a polite way to thank your guests for their gifts and for sharing in your special day. The cards are left blank inside for your own message
