STATIONERY 71 Take inspiration from beautiful designs by local stationers Paper YOUR TYPE ON Y our stationery will set the tone for your big day but it can be stressful deciding on a theme and colour scheme. To help give you some inspiration, we’ve asked local stationers to send in their favourite pieces. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. ❤ Ask someone to check your invitation proofs before approving them to make sure there are no mistakes. ❤ Having a consultation with your stationery supplier is a great way of exploring different ideas. ❤ Supply your loved ones with confetti packets upon arrival. ❤ It’s common to mention any dress codes you may have on your invitations. ❤ If you have a specific gift idea or would like money donated to charity, tell your guests on your invites. ❤ Sending save-the-dates made from recycled card or sustainable sources is a great way of being kind to the environment. ❤ Some of your friends and family may be travelling from afar, so include a list of local accommodation.
