Handmaking as much as you can for your wedding seems to be the done thing these days. But what happens if you aren’t crafty or don’t have the time to dedicate to sitting for hours creating the perfect favours, decorations and stationery?
A little research for companies that can help can go a long way. It is worthwhile spending a little time to find a company that can do everything for you. This way you have consistency in the look and know that everything will be with you in plenty of time.
When I got married in 1999 I was adamant I was doing all of the work myself and it took a lot of the fun out of everything. I was stressed with making sure everything was perfect and I don’t need a reminder of how much it cost me in supplies! I would keep messing up and have to buy more!
Aura Print are a printing company that have 11 wedding themes to choose from to create everything you need. From save the date notices to thank you cards.
I was kindly sent a one of their wedding stationery packages and was delighted with the range of not only design but card thickness too. The website is really easy to use. Click on the wedding stationery section, there is a drop down box to review all 11 themes or choose by save the date, invitation etc.
Once you click on the theme you like it will take you through each step so the products are completely unique to you. My favourite was the 800gsm card which I can imagine would be great made into magnets as a keepsake. I did something similar with birth announcements for Ethan in 2004 and they are still perfect to this day.
You choose the paper thickness, size, whether it is single or double sided. You can even upload your own artwork. Each design is fully customisable with names, dates, locations and more. There are elaborate floral themes which feature dark colours and gold leaf, through to simple, elegant scroll and minimal detail.
After ordering you can request digital proof so that you know every detail is perfect.
Your printed stationery is posted within 2 days so great if you need things in a hurry. Making your own would never take only 2 days so think of all the extra things you could be doing towards the wedding!
Your wedding should be one of the best days of your life and spending the run up to it stressed about stationery isn’t ideal. Places are starting to reopen and we are allowed to have more family and friends to social events and weddings etc. Focus on enjoying your big day and leave the work to those who you know are going to do a great job from start to finish.
After the wedding you simply send them a photograph of the big day and they can make custom thank you cards. The perfect ending to the perfect day.
