Avoid These Common Mistakes When Choosing Your Wedding Stationery
Wedding stationery might seem like a small detail — until you realise how much it sets the tone for your entire day. From your save-the-dates to your signage, it’s the first impression guests receive and the thread that ties your celebration together. But with so many options, it’s easy to fall into a few common traps.
Here’s what to watch out for:
1. Leaving it Too Late
Custom stationery takes time — think design, proofing, printing, and production. Waiting too long can mean rushed decisions or paying for express services.
Start early, especially if you want something bespoke and beautifully crafted.
2. Forgetting the Day-of Details
Menus, seating charts, signage — these often get left until the last minute, but they’re essential for creating a cohesive, elevated experience. Plan your on-the-day stationery alongside your invitations to keep everything beautifully aligned.
3. Choosing Style Over Substance
Aesthetics are important, but so is clarity. Make sure your design doesn’t overshadow key information. A beautiful invitation still needs to clearly tell your guests where to be, when, and what to expect.
4. Not Considering the Full Guest Experience
Think beyond the invite. How do your colours, textures, and typography carry through the entire day? From welcome signs to place cards, these little details leave a lasting impression — and they deserve to be just as considered.
