Wedding stationery essentials: A short guide to planning your big day in style

Wedding stationery helps set the tone for your day and keeps everything running smoothly, from invitations to table plans and thank you cards.

Wedding Invitations: Your invitations are the first glimpse guests get of your wedding. Printed invitations still feel special, and many couples now add a QR code linking to their wedding website for extra details and RSVPs.  You can supply your own design, or use a design from Canva or Etsy as a low-cost way to create something personal.

Stationery for the Day

Popular wedding day stationery includes:

Welcome signs
Place name cards
Table name cards or numbers
Table plans
Menus
Order of Service booklets

Foamboard welcome signs and table plans are popular because they look smart, stand well on easels and are easy to display at the venue.

Order of Service booklets are often one of the items left until the last minute, so please don’t forget about them! They help guests follow the ceremony, including readings, hymns, songs and the running order.

Thank You Cards: After the wedding, printed thank you cards are a simple way to thank guests for attending and for their gifts. Keeping the design consistent with your invitations and venue stationery helps everything feel coordinated.
