Wedding planning may be stressful. There’s so much to accomplish, and the time seems to fly by as the deadline approaches. Whether you’re planning your wedding or assisting someone else with theirs, you’ll understand how crucial it is for things to flow well from the start until the big day. Planning is essential for everything from invitations and cards to flowers and automobiles.
There’s a lot to think about when it comes to wedding stationery. It will be easier to be stress-free as you prepare for the day if you plan everything ahead of time. Take a peek at our wedding stationery printing timeline. It will assist you in remembering everything you’ll require – as well as when you’ll need to place your order.
You may start thinking about the style and feel of your wedding stationery as soon as you’ve chosen your date and decided on the type of wedding you want. You’ll want everything from the invitations to the menus to match perfectly, so whether you’re creating your wedding stationery or hiring someone to do it for you, you can’t order print until you’ve decided on a design style and paper type.
If you’re having your wedding abroad, which means your guests will be away from home for a few days, you should let them know as soon as possible so they can schedule time off work, plan vacations, and arrange child care if necessary. If you’re having a local wedding, six months before the big day is a good time to mail save the date cards.
If you wait too long, your guests may have already planned a vacation or trip, especially if your wedding is in the summer. Remember that you must first choose the type of paper you desire before ordering any print. As you can see from our website, we provide a wide range of luxury and premium paper options. Because the paper you choose may have an impact on your design, plan ahead of time to have your cards designed and ready to ship.
You should be well into the design stage of your invitations around four months before your wedding, especially if you’re employing a professional designer. Designing invitations takes longer than designing save-the-date cards. They are more detailed and provide more information. Give yourself enough time to make sure your invites are printed and ready to mail. Designs can go back and forth a few times before they’re exactly right. Keep in mind that if you’re having your invites calligraphed, you’ll need to account for their time as well.
Some people provide information cards for their guests with their invitations. These can include any additional information that guests need to know but that you don’t want to clog up your invite design, such as travel or parking information, a menu preview, or any other wedding-related information. If you’re serving multiple meals, you may integrate this with your RSVP so that visitors can pre-order or let you know if they have any particular dietary needs.
Even though your RSVP card is just a confirmation of attendance, it must be delivered with your invitations and will most likely be created in the same style, so have them both designed and available at the same time.
Belly bands are a terrific way to keep your invitations, RSVPs, and other information organised fashionably. They can contribute a lot to the overall look and feel of the invitation and the sense of occasion.
You may personalise your envelope with a custom-designed wedding sticker to make it feel even more unique.
Things are starting to take shape! Send out your invitations 10-12 weeks before the big day if you’re getting married abroad. If you’re keeping it local, you can wait a little longer.
When most people think of wedding stationery, they only think of invitations, but there is typically a lot more print used on the big day. This could involve the following:
An order of service isn’t just for weddings in churches. The ceremony may include hymns or songs, readings, presenters, or other performers, depending on where the wedding is held. If the reception is held at a separate site than the ceremony, the order of service will include the hours and location of the reception. People typically retain the order of service as a keepsake, especially if it’s well-designed and printed, so make sure you have enough for each guest.
Even if you included menu information with the invitations, you’ll still need some for the tables on the big day. People enjoy looking at the treats in the store, and a professionally printed menu serves as a souvenir for you and your guests while also looking fantastic on the table.
A numbered table plan at the reception desk is a practical and beautiful approach to assist guests in finding their table.
These can be folded and placed on the table, or they can be displayed flat in specific stands at each table.
Folded place cards can incorporate the wedding stationery’s design and provide a charming personal touch for guests.
When menus, table numbers, and place cards are printed on premium quality, luxury paper and have a fashionable, coordinated design, they form part of the overall table setting and add to the sense of occasion.
It’s time to order thank you cards once the happy couple has returned from their vacation and settled in. A thank you card is always welcome (and, let’s face it, we all like to be thanked). Typically, these are sent out between two and six weeks after the wedding.
Although many couples opt to have their weddings videotaped, everyone appreciates having a photographic record of their special day. Beautiful, high-resolution photographs in saddle-stitched or perfect bound photo albums make lovely gifts for relatives and perfect souvenirs for the newlywed pair. The images can be incorporated into pages that suit the design style or theme used throughout the wedding stationery to create a unique keepsake of a very special day.
We serve couples, wedding planners, and wedding stationery designers with a wide choice of gorgeous, printed stationery for every need before, during, and after the big day at The Print Hive. You may choose the right finish for this most special of days thanks to the wide range of premium and luxury papers we provide.
