How to personalise your wedding #2: create some easy DIY memorable wedding stationery

by

One of my favourite websites, when I’m wearing my design hat, is the printing site moo.com. They provide brilliant customisable printed products at really good prices. I used them for my ‘JK’ monogram stickers that I created for my wedding stationery and they can help you produce all sorts of creative personalised wedding ideas. Here are some lovely ideas that other creative brides and grooms have done:

SAVE THE DATE CARDS
Another fun idea are these ‘tying the knot’ save-the-date cards. The pictures of the bride and groom (Kerry and Terrell) at various ages are printed on Moo Minicards and then are tied to a home-printed card carrying the details, with a perfect knot.

PLACEHOLDER CARDS
Kelly Harris personalised Moo’s minicards with the faces of her guests to make everyone feel special (they make great icebreakers too). Kelly laboriously sourced photos of her 300+ friends and family from Facebook and other means and then displayed the place holder cards in corks which she found in on eBay. Absolutely gorgeous!

GUEST WISHCARDS
Gary and Luzel made guest wishcards for their wedding using lots of their favourite photos printed on Minicards on one side, and a printed little “advice for the newlyweds” message on the reverse. Very cute and very memorable.

EXTRA WEDDING DETAILS BUNDLES
Chris Hannah designed some Business Cards in the same colour as his invitations to make a cute little package that included cards for things like Wedding Gift List, Dietary Requirements and wallet sized Travel Directions. He then bound them with hand-cut paper strips, held together with round stickers, customised with his wedding monogram.

Use a mix of your official shots on business cards, greeting cards or postcards for Thank you card, like Tania Chau did.

5 Creative Table Number Ideas

by

It’s the little details that your guests will notice at your wedding, and your table numbers are no exception. You can have fun and really represent yourselves as a couple, plus they can break the ice and start conversation and you can let your guests get to know you know as a couple even more.

Here are 5 table number ideas to inspire you:

1. use postcards as numbers. Write a personal message to your guests, or write a note about why that place / landmark / photo is important to you both as a couple.
Postcards as table numbers

2.  Use  pictures of the bride and groom at ages corresponding with the table numbers.

Is this the most creative wedding invitation ever?

by

Not content with a boring old paper wedding invitation, illustrator, Jessica Hische, and Facebook designer, Russ Maschmeyer, created possibly the most imaginative wedding invitation I’ve  ever seen.
Beautiful wedding invitation

They made a simply gorgeous website, entitled The Story of Jess and Russ (click here to check it out), to tell the story of their romance, from meeting and engagement to career highs and lows, and invite guests to their wedding. A truly modern invite, it even features links out to photos on Flickr and images stored in the Cloud, as well as moving graphics that appear as you scroll down the page.

The design elements from the invitation website were then carried over into their wedding reception in the form of beautiful laser cut lettering and gold foil stamped letters and tiny stars.
