What is Wedding Stationery?
Wedding stationery can be separated into three categories: pre-wedding stationery, day of stationery, and post-wedding stationery. Pre-wedding stationery is everything you send prior to your big day, like personalized save the date cards, invitation suites, and bridesmaid boxes. Day of wedding stationery encompasses everything you’ll display at your wedding, like menu cards, signage, and wedding programs.
A wedding invitation suite specifically refers to the official invitation. This is the wedding invitation card, a wedding RSVP card, and a details card. Each print serves a different purpose. Your personalized wedding invitations should include the names of the couple, where it will take place, when it will begin, and any imagery that reflects your theme. RSVP cards for wedding guests let people mark if they will be attending, if they will be bringing a guest, and if they have any dietary restrictions. Custom RSVP cards need to be printed on a paper stock that guests can write on. Put everything else on a wedding details card: dress code, travel, accommodations, additional events (like a welcome party or farewell brunch), gift expectations, or a link to your wedding website. Most people will also include envelopes or postage for guests to mail their RSVP cards back.
All of these prints should be sent in wedding invitation envelopes that match your stationery theme. The final result is a cohesive mail bundle that gets people excited for your special day, sets the tone, and establishes your wedding style.
One way to create a cohesive stationery set is to use free design templates. This ensures all the colors, fonts, and design elements match across your different stationery prints.
