Ideas on Wedding Stationery

Being your guests' first impression of your wedding, the stationeries create anticipation and expectation of how you and your spouse are preparing for the big day. As a trendy communication tool for invitation, it is now like a lifestyle experience. In many ways, a wedding stationery is like your book.  Below herewith are some ideas on creating the perfect wedding stationeries.



Firstly, you may consider hiring a designer to create your stationery that best describes your personality and theme for the wedding.  The designer can help you create the unique stationery of your wedding story. Next thing to note, try to be bold when choosing colors. The colors should help bringing the essence of your wedding. Get your inspiration from your wedding venue or anything you like.

As with anything else in preparing for a wedding, you should plan ahead as early as possible. Similar to choosing a wedding gown, particularly if you are on a budget and is already having a headache searching for cheap dresses, careful planning of your wedding will surely help reduce any unnecessary stress.  Give yourself sufficient time ahead of the wedding, as there will likely be many unexpected happenings along the way for you to encounter as it gets closer to the wedding day.

Then, you should plan the flow of the wedding day itself and the days toward it as this would help you have an idea what is needed along the way when you prepare the stationery items. For instance, you may wish to send "Save-The-Date" cards prior to the official invitation. Some other stationeries that are used include RSVP card, reception card, directional card, menu, program, thank you card etc.

Many ways are available to present your stationaries, such as emboss, foil stamping and flat printing. Depending on your budget, there are several printing methods and post-production finishing. Just choose those that best match your wedding theme.
