A Guide to Day-Of Stationery “Extras”

We’ve talked about the basics of wedding day-of stationery in our “What is Wedding Day-Of Stationery” blog post, but here is a list of “extras” to give you some additional inspiration.

Consider these fun details when brainstorming your day-of stationery order!

• COCKTAIL NAPKINS

• KOOZIES

• FROSTED CUPS

• DRINK STIRRERS

• MATCHBOXES

• VOW BOOKS

• COASTERS

• STICKERS/LABELS

• THANK YOU NOTES

• WELCOME BAG NOTES

• FAVOR TAGS

• STYROFOAM CUPS

We love helping client’s bring new ideas to life, so we always suggest browsing Pinterest for more unique details!

These custom designs take a little longer for production than our normal wedding stationery, so make sure to contact us in plenty of time before your wedding date.
We suggest about 2.5 months before the big day!

We can’t wait to create some of these fun, unique details for your wedding!

HOLIDAY OFFICE CLOSURE

We close our office for the month of December to give our hard-working team a much needed break. Why you ask? Well a few reasons! We can't guarantee our typical turnaround times due to being short staffed, our printers have holiday closures themselves, and there are always annoying supply chain delays that occur during the holidays.

BUT if you're a current client or ordering from the shop, don't worry! We'll still be working behind the scenes to make sure you're taken care of.

Cheers! XO

Our Favorite Details

B E L L Y    B A N D S 

My favorite invitation suite accessory is belly bands! Belly bands can be a subtle way to elevate the suite and tie all the stationary pieces together.  I love how they keep everything organized for those opening the envelope. Plus, there are so many different design ways to coordinate a belly band with an invitation suite, whether it's a solid color, a personalized monogram, names, initials, etc!

I love the idea of including a couple's doggo on an accessory that's as fun as something like the cocktail napkins, or koozies! I think that's just an adorable way to be personal and express the couple starting a little family with the first commitment of getting a dog together. As a guest, I love to see such a sentiment turned into art and then shared amongst guests for a take-home gift, and I love to have a cute dog that I know on my koozie while I party and celebrate- Just fun all around!

E N V E L O P E  L I N E R S 

Envelope liners add the perfect amount of “pop!” Keeping the invitation cards more on the traditional side, while reserving the colors, patterns, or custom illustrations for the envelope liner is one of my favorite styles of invitations. Adding more of your personality to the liner is also a good way to avoid looking at your wedding invitations years down the road and thinking they look dated. Envelope liners also look amazing for flat lays, are fairly inexpensive, and don’t add to the envelope postage amount. We usually suggest adding an outer envelope if you decide to do an envelope liner so your guests don’t rip open the envelope with the liner and tearing it. But we also do plenty of invitations with single envelope's with liners too!

Wax seals are my favorite little detail to add to an invitation suite. They are a perfect accessory whether you're wanting a classic and traditional invitation, or a funky and modern one because there are so many color and design options. Wax seals are a great option if you love the look of a clean and simple invitation, but want to bring in something unique to your wedding - such as your main wedding color or monogram. It just gives it that little pop of color and elegance to really enhance your invitations. You can even use them for escort cards or menus on your wedding day as well.

I love using deckled edges to create a soft look in a suite. These hand-torn edges, feathery edges give a romantic or vintage vibe and make the card stand out from the rest.

I love adding silk ribbon as a finishing touch to a clients suite! It really elevates the suite and looks gorgeous in just about any color. If you're willing to splurge a little bit for an add-on, this is the one!
