A wedding is one of the most important days of anyone’s life and we dream of making it as beautiful as we can. The first and the most important thing that create the look and feel of the wedding is its stationery. It brings out them theme, personality and charm of the wedding and all its functions. What better to make it look the way you want with co-ordinated stationery at every step?
There is a myth that invitations are limited to sending out the day and time of the ceremony and are only a mode of giving information. But, in reality they are a perception builder for the guests and also a first preview to the touch and feel of the upcoming event.
Other than the invite itself there are a few other things that can wonderfully complement your day.
- Save your date: A small note to inform guests from interstate and overseas about the upcoming wedding to help them plan their trip. This serves two purposes 1. It’s about announcing the news to guests in advance and it does not require the venue and other logistics to be finalised so can be sent couple to get the dates locked.
-
RSVP: A card that ensures that every one who received the invitation lets the couple know if they would be attending the wedding. It gives you a check in advance for planning the function and catering.
-
Wishing Well: At times the couple desires that the guests to contribute towards a specific thing, for e.g. setting up their new home. They can send a wishing well card along with the invite to let people know what would be the best gift to give and saves the guests thinking over it endlessly.
-
Ceremony Booklet/Order of Service: A detailed booklet highlighting the people involved in the ceremony (bride and grooms side) and the importance and order of the rituals happening. It helps the event to run smoothly with every one aware of what’s happening around them.
-
Guest Seating Chart: A chart that can be put outside the function hall that tells the guests their seating pattern inside to avoid confusion and to smoothly run the ceremony.
-
Guest Book: A small token of love, usually put outside the reception/function hall where the guests can jot down their comments, ideas, love and notes for the newly wed couple. A fun thing to have as a keepsake for the couple.
-
Table Cards: To allocate seating, the names of the guests are put as a card on the tables to ensure every one gets a seat next to people they know/like
-
Menu and Table number: The menu for the event and table number can also be customised as per the theme of the event
-
Favour tags: Small tags with a little note can be tied to the favour to be given to the guests by the couple, it’s a lovely thing to do to make the gift more personalised.
-
Thank you Card: Every couple and their families want to thank the guests for being a part of their wedding and this can be done by posting a customised thank you note after the wedding.
Yes, the wedding can be organised without these details as well, but these small elements make the wedding complete. It is a belief that getting coordinated stationery items end up being very expensive, but like everything else these can be easily customised to suit your budget and taste!
So, why not use these ideas to make one of the most valuable days of your life wonderful without making any compromises.
