When it comes to organising your wedding, it’s only natural to want to make it stand out from the rest. After all, with some 250,000 weddings taking place in the UK each year, it can be difficult to figure out how your wedding can truly shine. Of course, your wedding will be special to you, regardless of what you do and where you hold it. To add a little more intrigue for your guests however, you may wish to consider making your wedding stationery totally unique. This is often the first impression your guests will have of your upcoming nuptials, so really grab their attention with stand-out stationery. To help you come up with some ideas, here are five examples of unusual wedding stationery to feast your eyes upon.
Bride in charge
If you’re the one who wears the trousers in the relationship, then you’ll love this wedding invitation design, seen on dzineblog.com. The idea is to pull the string to make the bride drag the groom across the card. This will then reveal all of your essential wedding details. What’s lovely about this design is that it adds a bit of humour and light-heartedness to the invitation.
Set a new record
If music plays a big part in your lives then you’ll likely want to ensure it has a role in your Big Day. Set the tone for your wedding with this 7-inch LP Save the Date idea, seen on elleuk.com. You could change the colour in accordance with your wedding theme – just make sure you don’t forget anything important.
Scratch card invitation
Make your wedding feel like everyone’s lucky day, with this scratch card invitation idea, seen on bespoke-bride.com. Once all of the panels have been scratched off, your guests will be able to see which date you have chosen. This would work really well if you’re planning to have a casino night as part of your evening entertainment.
Blow up Save the Date
Although it’s tradition to send out Save the Dates printed on paper, there’s no rule which states that this is a must. Instead, set a lively tone for the day by sending out your Save the Dates printed on balloons, like this one from creativemarket.com. Leave a note with instructions for your guests to blow up the balloon to reveal the details of your wedding day. Again, choose the colours in line with your chosen wedding theme. This idea is quirky and works well for those planning to invite a lot of children along to the day.
Aeroplane ticket design
If you’re planning to marry abroad, why not give your guests a taster of the day by designing the invitations to look like boarding tickets? I saw this clever design on realsimple.com. I love how much it ties into a theme – it seems like the obvious solution for the creative husband and wife to be. Just be sure to let people know that they will still need to purchase actual aeroplane tickets.
How will you make your wedding stationery unique? We would love to hear your ideas!
