Things to Consider When Choosing Your Wedding Stationery

Updated: Apr 10

If you’re planning your big day soon, you probably already know how important wedding stationery is! It’s one of the most beloved traditions. Maybe you even have a Pinterest board dedicated to stationery inspo and wedding invitation ideas. 


Not only is it used for communicating with your guests, giving them all the crucial info such as the date, venue, and other relevant details, but it also gives them a sneak peek of what’s to come! So we’d say this is a pretty important part of your wedding planning process. 


But how do you choose the perfect wedding suite for you? We’re sharing three of our best tips here!

Wedding Stationery Tip #1: Think About What You Really Need


It seems like every wedding stationery checklist is different, isn’t it? For instance, some might be simple with just the invitations, save the dates, and menu cards, while others have a laundry list of ideas. 


When you are trying to figure out what’s best for YOU, know you can do as much or as little as you want. The important thing to remember? Go for your essentials. 


In other words, if you’re just sending out invitations and thank you cards, that’s perfectly fine! Personalize it as you see fit


Naturally, if your celebration includes events your guests should know about, your wedding stationery checklist should be expanded. But don’t feel like you have to go overboard if you don’t want to!

Wedding Stationery Tip #2: Go Digital


Sustainable weddings have been an ongoing trend for some time now, and it shows no signs of stopping! Eco-conscious couples are always looking for ways to ensure their celebration leaves a minimal environmental impact, and the stationery plays a big part in this. 


Instead of printing everything out, opt for a completely digital wedding suite!


Aside from being friendly on the planet, this approach is very cost-effective and budget-friendly. Plus, there are plenty of great services online that offer beautiful designs, so you won’t have to compromise on looks either!


If you decide to go digital, we recommend printing a few copies to keep forever. They make a wonderful memento of a special time in your life!



Wedding Stationery Tip #3: Consider Splashes Of Color

Most wedding invitation ideas feature white, neutral, or pastel tones. Although there’s nothing wrong with these palettes, splashes of unconventional color are always refreshing!

 

If you’re planning a summer celebration, hints of yellow and aquamarine will make your wedding stationery vibrant and eye-catching. Alternatively, you can always get inspired by the Arizonan desert landscape and throw in some red and golden shades. 


The possibilities are endless!
