Your Complete Wedding Stationery Checklist
Planning a wedding? Among the many exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) details, stationery plays a huge role in setting the tone for your big day. From the first ‘Save the Date’ to the heartfelt ‘Thank You’ cards, your wedding stationery is more than just paper—it’s a keepsake, a first impression, and a reflection of your love story.
So, where do you start? We’ve got you covered with this complete, no-fuss wedding stationery checklist to make sure nothing gets missed.
The Must-Have Wedding Stationery
1. Save the Dates
These are your guests’ first glimpse into your wedding! Whether you go for a classic design or something uniquely you, sending Save the Dates 6-12 months in advance helps lock in your special day on everyone’s calendar.
2. Invitations & RSVP Cards
Your wedding invitation is the heart of your stationery suite—it sets the vibe for your entire event. Make sure it includes all the essentials:
-
Names of the couple
-
Date, time, and location
-
Dress code (if applicable)
-
RSVP details (including a separate RSVP card or digital option)
3. Details & Information Cards
If your wedding has extra details (like accommodation, transport, or a weekend itinerary), a separate details card is a lifesaver. This keeps your main invite clean and elegant while ensuring guests have all the info they need.
4. Wedding Programs
A beautifully designed wedding program can guide guests through the ceremony and introduce your bridal party. It’s a lovely touch that adds to the experience.
5. Seating Charts & Place Cards
Help your guests find their seats with a seating chart at the entrance of your reception. Place cards add a personal touch to your tables and keep things organised.
6. Menus
A well-designed menu doesn’t just tell guests what’s for dinner—it enhances the overall aesthetic of your table setting. Whether you opt for individual menus or a large display, this little detail makes a big difference.
7. Signage & Welcome Boards
From ‘Welcome’ signs to bar menus and directional signage, these details help guide your guests and add a seamless flow to your event.
8. Thank You Cards
Once the celebrations are over, sending out heartfelt thank-you cards is the perfect way to show appreciation to your guests.
Extras That Elevate Your Stationery
Want to add an extra touch of luxury? Consider:
-
Wax seals for an old-world charm
-
Custom illustrations of your venue or florals
-
Letterpress printing for a tactile, elegant feel
-
Vellum wraps and ribbons for a polished finish
