Wedding Stationery Printing – The Ultimate Guide to Paper Choices for Your Big Day

When planning a wedding, every detail matters. From the venue and flowers to the food and the favours, it all comes together to create your perfect day. But how do you set the tone before the big day even begins? Your Wedding Stationery does exactly that.

From elegant Save the Dates to personalised Thank You Cards, your paper choices say a lot about your style. At Printed.com, we offer a wide range of paper stocks and special finishes to bring your dream designs to life – whether you’re going luxe, rustic, minimalist or modern.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through our stunning paper options and the full range of Wedding Stationery products available, helping you plan everything down to the final fold.

Why Does Paper Choice Matter for Wedding Stationery?

Your paper is more than just the base for your design – it influences the entire feel of your Wedding Stationery. Is your wedding romantic and whimsical? Opt for textured papers like Tintoretto Gesso. Going eco-friendly? Consider Seed Paper or Recycled Uncoated. Want to add shine? Papers like Pearl Oyster and Lux may be the perfect option for you.

The paper you choose affects:

  • The visual tone of your wedding
  • How colours and inks appear
  • Texture and tactile quality
  • Compatibility with finishes like foil or die-cutting
  • Sustainability and eco credentials
