We&#8217;ve got you covered&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>1. Think about what you really need<\/h3>\n<p>These days, the list of desirable wedding stationery items is almost endless.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/documents\/order-of-service-printing\" target=\"_blank\">orders of service<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/documents\/sign-notice-printing\" target=\"_blank\">wall signs<\/a> and table plans to table numbers, <a href=\"https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/documents\/menu-printing\" target=\"_blank\">menus,<\/a> place names, wedding favour cards and more.<\/p>\n<p>But you don&#8217;t need to have everything!<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t think something will add much value to your day, consider skipping it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_817\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-817\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-817\" src=\"https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BowWeddingStationery.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"595\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BowWeddingStationery.jpg 794w, https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BowWeddingStationery-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BowWeddingStationery-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/BowWeddingStationery-768x762.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-817\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: bowweddingstationery on etsy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For example, an Order of Service may be a nice to have. But if you&#8217;re having a small ceremony on the beach or at a local beauty spot, it&#8217;s probably safe to forego them.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Multi-purpose wedding stationery<\/h3>\n<p>Design your wedding stationery to be as multi-purpose as possible.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place names &amp; food menus &#8211; write the guest name on one side and their food selection on the reverse.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_810\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-810\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-810\" src=\"https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/NTcustomDesigns-Wedding-Name-Cards.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/NTcustomDesigns-Wedding-Name-Cards.jpg 794w, https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/NTcustomDesigns-Wedding-Name-Cards-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/NTcustomDesigns-Wedding-Name-Cards-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-810\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: NTCustomDesigns on Etsy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>Table numbers &amp; guest book signatures &#8211; write the table number at the top of the card and leave space for the table guests to share well wishes at the bottom. You can then collect the table number cards and add them to wedding day scrapbook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. DIY approach<\/h3>\n<p>Wedding stationery design is big business, however an increasing number of couples are keen to add a personal touch and go the DIY route.<\/p>\n<p>With Pinterest and an infinite supply of wedding blogs, it&#8217;s easy to get inspired.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be a great way to shave a few pounds off your budget.<\/p>\n<p>Common DIY aspects include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The design &#8211; canva.com and similar design tools have made it easier than ever to create the wedding stationery you&#8217;ve dreamt of.<\/li>\n<li>Folding &#8211; ordering <a href=\"https:\/\/doxzoo.com\/products\/loose-sheets\" target=\"_blank\">loose sheets<\/a> to fold at home can help keep the costs down.<\/li>\n<li>Flourishes &amp; embellishments &#8211; stores like Hobbycraft are a treasure trove of little flourishes and embellishments that you can use to jazz up your wedding stationery.
