Wedding Day of Stationery Ideas

Let's chat Day of Stationery...  

At Events by Jade, we believe day of stationery is always a good idea.  It can easily be defined as any paper goods used on your bid day.  Think welcome sign, menu cards, and more.  At first glance, it may seem like DOS is pretty easy to understand, but we often have brides ask many questions around this topic, so we hope this blog helps to break things down. 

Ceremony Programs - 
​
Many feel this is outdated and skip this, but that's completely up to you.  If you do opt for a program, it's a great place to include all your wedding party.  Quick tip - use the back for additional notes such as a thank you note for guest or even parents. We recommend one per couple. 

Dinner Menus - 

We think menus are a beautiful way to make the table feel elevated and upscale.  When you have a menu card, the table looks complete.  There are many ways to make the card special and unique to the bride and groom.  This is also a great place to add additional information to the back.  Day of timeline, fun get to know you questions from bride and groom, crossword puzzles, etc.  You will need one per guest (Also account for any empty chairs.) 

Escort Cards -

These cards tell the guests where they will be sitting for dinner.  They will have their name, table number, and food choice located on it.  This is a great place to have a fun and creative way to display them.  

Table Numbers - 

These can be displayed a few different ways.  Easels, tented, holder, frames and more. You will need one per guest table. 

Signage - 

Here are a few additional ideas for day of signage. 
- Welcome sign 
- Unplugged ceremony sign 
- Signature drink menu 
- Guest Book
- Cards and Gifts

We hope this break down of day of stationery helps you figure out what is needed and how much to buy.  Now, what are you going to order for your wedding?
