2023 wedding stationery trends you should be considering.
If you're planning a wedding this year, make sure to check out these modern trends that will make your wedding invitations and stationery stand out.
Your wedding stationery is the first impression your guests will get of your special day, so why not make it unique and memorable? If you’re wondering what the hottest trends in wedding stationery are this year, then you’ve come to the right place! From personalised menus and blind embossed envelopes to unique heartfelt signage, here is my top picks for modern wedding stationery trends in 2023.
LET YOUR PERSONALITIES SHINE
personalisation.
For me this year is all about personalisation. Nothing says "special" quite like adding a personal touch to your wedding stationery. It’s a great way to make your wedding stand out from all the others and add your own unique personality. Whether you opt for customised calligraphy with a special message that reflects your relationship, there are many ways to make your wedding stationery more meaningful.
LOVE LETTERS
custom monograms.
A monogram is usually two or three letters that represent an individual or couple. In wedding stationery this is usually the letter of your first name. Using modern typography (fonts) and design techniques such as merging letters or adding images you can create something very personal to you as a couple. Custom monograms are versatile – they can be used in countless ways throughout your wedding stationery! For example, you can use them on save-the-date cards, invitations, thank-you notes, menus, place cards – just about anything related to your wedding day.
ADDED SOPHISTICATION
personalised menus.
Add an extra layer of sophistication to each place setting by providing your guests with a personalised menu. Guest often chose their meal preferences months in advance, so it’s a great reminder of what’s to come.
MAKE IT FUN
wedding crosswords.
An interactive way to keep your guests entertained during the wedding reception, why not try create a wedding crossword. A personalised crossword is a fun activity for guests, so why not make yours truly one-of-a-kind and tell your love story. You can use a free crossword creator like this one from Puzzle Maker to help create your design.
THE FIRST IMPRESSION COUNTS
envelope love.
It’s no secret that envelopes can often be overlooked when it comes to stationery design—but not this year! Address printing, envelope liners, blind embossing (a process which creates a raised design without using ink), and personalised wax seals will be big trends for 2023 weddings.
SAY IT WITH WORDS
unique signage.
Unique heartfelt signs will be another popular trend at weddings this year. Whether you choose a meaningful quote or fun phrases, having unique signage throughout your venue will add character and charm and really showcase your personality. These custom signs also make a great piece of statement artwork in your home. These signs will be conversation starters and cherished mementos long after the big day is over.
