When you’re planning a wedding, you will no doubt have loads of different things racing around in your mind. From the clothing you’re going to wear to the people you’d like to invite, you’ve got loads to do, and it will probably feel like there’s no time to do it. In a lot of cases, this can leave smaller jobs, like the paper at your wedding, on the back burner. To help you to avoid this, this post will be going through everything you need to tick this box.
What Will You Need? Most weddings are reasonably traditional, even if they don’t take place in a normal venue. This means that there is a common set of different options people will want at their wedding when it comes to paper. Below, you can find some examples of these, along with the details they will often include.
- Invites: People won’t be able to attend your wedding unless they’re invited. The easiest way to do this would be using a group email, sending everything within a couple of hours. Of course, though, for a wedding, most people will want to push the boat out. Mailing paper invites is a great way to do this, and you just need to include times, dates, and any options people might have on the day, like food.
- Order Of Service Cards: On the day of your wedding, it’s likely that your partner, family, and yourself will be very busy making sure it all goes to plan. This will make it hard to answer loads of questions regarding the order of the day. Order of service cards can solve this issue, giving you an easy way to let people know what’s going down. Along with this, some people will also include this with the invites.
- Table Dressings: The wedding breakfast is a very important part of the day, and, like the rest of it, you’ll be extremely busy. To help push things along, having tables set out with people’s names is a great way to avoid awkward organization. Putting people amongst people they know and those they don’t will spark some good conversation, but you’ll need some little paper name tags before anything starts.
- Other Souvenirs: Of course, most people want to add a little bit of unique flair to their wedding, and paper can be one of the best ways to do it. Whether you choose to have paper flowers at your wedding or any other souvenir, you have loads of choices to go from. Finding inspiration in this area is a simple matter of researching on websites like Instagram and Pinterest.
Getting It Made: Spending hours handwriting all of this will drain your soul and make your wedding feel a little depressing. To avoid this, there are a couple of different professionals with the skills to help you out. Below, you can find some examples of these, along with the tools you can use to find the very best of the bunch.
- A Designer: Developing the experience to design tasteful wedding paperwork will take a very long time. Thankfully, though, you don’t have to spend this energy, as loads of people have already done it for you. A good graphic designer will only take a couple of weeks to make everything you need, and then you’ll be ready to send your paper onto the next leg of the journey.
- A Good Printing Shop: Once you have some designs ready, you can make your first test prints with a couple of different companies. When they’ve all arrived, choosing the highest-quality will be very easy, and you can make any tweaks you’d like and get a whole batch printed out. There are loads of great sites for this out there. Most of them offer deals, giving you an easy way to save some money.
- Use The Reviews: Choosing the people who will be in control of this part of your wedding will be a daunting task. Making sure that everything goes to plan when you’re very busy can make it hard to spend a lot of time on one thing, so errors will often be impossible to fix. To solve this issue, reviews can be a powerful tool and will give you a good idea as to the quality of the work you’ll be receiving.
The Organization: As the last area to consider, it’s time to think about organization, and the impact it can have on your big day. This part of your job is the most important of all, so it needs to be handled correctly. Below, you can find some examples of the areas you’ll have to consider.
- The Printing: Getting all of your paper printed on time can be a challenge. With the reviews you’ve read, you’ll probably have a good idea of the fastest companies out there. With this in mind, making sure you have the right one should be nice and easy.
- Mailing Out Invites: With everything printed, you’ll be ready to start the process of getting it mailed out. To save some money here, a lot of people will want to look into the idea of paying for bulk shipping of their invites. Your local postal company should be able to help you with this, but you’ll still need to get them sent on time.
- On The Day: On the big day, your order of service and table cards will need to be put into place for people to use. In most cases, the venue you’ve chosen will be happy to do this for you, making it easy to put this job to the back of your mind.
- The Results Of Poor Planning: Finally, as the last thing to consider, it’s worth thinking about what you may face if you don’t plan your big day well enough. Having to deal with problems will make your wedding a lot hard. So, to avoid this sort of mistake, you should make sure to plan very wisely.
Hopefully, this post will give you everything you need to make the job of your wedding paperwork a lot easier. A lot of people will forget about jobs like this, leaving them until the last minute or not doing them at all. Of course, though, this will only make your life harder on the day.
