guide to wedding stationeryThis guide is intended to help you decide what stationery items, and how many of each you need. It also gives some suggestions for wording and the kind of information you may like to include. Wordings are a suggestion only and you are very welcome to provide us with your own text if you wish. We can print your own text onto the outside of cards and pockets too if you want us to. For example, instead of 'Wedding Invitation' you may prefer to have your names and wedding date, or something else such as 'Winter Wedding'. Before the day stationery These can be sent out as soon as you have booked the big day, a year or more in advance, and are especially useful if you are getting married in the height of the holiday season. A simple flat card or one of our bookmarks or luggage labels is ideal. You will need one per household/family. Please Save the Date
