It all starts with the wedding planning: the date, the budget, the guest list, the venue, the style, the outfits, the colour scheme – months, sometimes years before the big day itself!
We can help couples to take their concept to printed reality – assisting with design, colour matching and finishes, even the additional touch of metallic sparkle. Ensuring everything from the Save the Date, Invitations, Welcome Boards, Stickers, Favour Labels, Place Cards, Menus, Tables Plans and Thank You cards all live up to the couple’s personal dream.
Every dream wedding day is different, with plenty of opportunities to reflect the couple’s vision. Creating their own wedding stationery allows couples to introduce and share this vision to their guests, however many that might be.
Once you’ve set a budget, created a guest list, chosen a date, found a venue, selected vendors and considered what you’re wearing, it’s time to talk to us.
Step 1 – Ideas and Concepts
Whether it’s a mood board, a folder of things you like or just a theme that you have in mind, this is where your personality can shine throughout your wedding. It doesn’t matter how you let us know how you want things to look, whatever way works for you will also work for us.
Step 2 – Design help
We can help you to develop your ideas into your wedding stationery. We’ll even make you a brew if you want to pop down and talk to our design team about what you have in mind. We will happily tweak things until it perfectly matches your concept.
Step 3 – Choosing Your Materials
There are so many options of colours, thickness, textures, shapes and finishes, which can at times be a bit bewildering, but with our experience and guidance, we’ll help you to choose the right options for you. Plus, we carry a good range of stock, meaning you can pick up and actually touch the options rather than guessing what the difference between 300 and 350gsm, matt and silk, flat and linen, would look and feel like.
Step 4 – Envelopes
Plain, matching, contrasting, coloured, square, rectangular – how will your stationery look when your guests receive it? And, if you’re dreading the thought of handwriting all those addresses, we can turn your guest list spreadsheet into printed address labels in a matching font to your stationery.
Step 5 – Quantities
Then it’s just a case of telling us how many you’d like.

Paper is traditionally given for first wedding anniversaries, representing the humble beginning of a marriage. Paper is considered a modest, fragile and inexpensive material. The traditional anniversary gifts for the early years start simply (progressing from paper for the first anniversary on to cotton for the second anniversary), becoming more luxurious (gold, diamonds) as time goes on, symbolising the growth of a marriage. For us and many couples, this isn’t the first time that paper plays an important part in a marriage, as it often begins with a ‘Save the Date’ card – are you ready to start your relationship with paper?
