There are so many exciting details to consider when planning your wedding, from the venue to the flowers, and especially the invitations. But another important aspect of wedding planning that can significantly enhance your special day is “Day Of” stationery. This is why we include matching Day Of stationery in all of our Wedding Invitation Suite Collections.
In this post, we’ll explore what Day of Stationery is and how it can beautifully complement your wedding day.
Understanding Day Of Stationery
“Day Of” stationery refers to all the printed materials to be used on your wedding day. While your wedding invitations set the tone for your event, Day-Of stationery ensures that the day runs smoothly and adds an extra layer of elegance to your special day Here are some key Day Of stationery pieces to consider:
1. Wedding Ceremony Program
Designed to provide guests with an overview of the wedding ceremony, including the order of events, readings, and any special acknowledgments or thank you messages. A beautifully designed program can serve as a lovely keepsake for both you and your guests. We always include matching wedding programs in our wedding invitation suite to make it easy for wedding planners as well as those who are planning their own weddings.
2. Wedding Menu
The next item on our list – the Menu! A well-crafted menu not only informs but also excites your guests about the culinary experience ahead. A beautifully designed menu can also be used to elevate the look of your wedding tablescape. Personalize with a list the delicious dishes your guests will enjoy during your reception.
3. Wedding Place Cards / Escort Cards
Designed to help guests find their seats with personalized place cards. These small personalized cards can make a big difference in creating a welcoming atmosphere, but they can also be used like menus to elevate the look of your wedding tablescapes. We include designer place cards in our wedding invitation suites with blank spaces for handwritten guest names and table numbers.
4. Wedding Table Number Cards
Wedding Table Number Cards like place cards help guests easily find their seats and can add to the beauty of your wedding tablescapes. Our wedding invitation suite collections include customizable table number cards.
5. Wedding Signage
Welcome banners and Seating charts are two of our most requested Day of products but any signage that directs guests to various areas, such as the ceremony, reception, and restrooms can be a valuable edition to your wedding day.
6. Wedding Guest Books
Wedding guestbooks may well be one of the most special Day Of stationery keepsakes to consider. You can place these at your wedding ceremony and/or your at your wedding reception – allowing your guests to write you well wishes that you will cherish for years to come.
