We all know weddings are big business these days. Last month, The Guardian newspaper estimated the cost of the average UK wedding at a little over £20,000. Even though times are tough and savings have to be made, Paper Themes have a range of wedding stationary that is great value and don’t mean you need to sacrifice style for savings.
Save the date cards seem to be an essential part of wedding planning these days. No betrothed couple want to run the risk that after months of careful planning half their guest list can’t attend because they are away, working or worse at someone else’s wedding. I know from personal experience that being told the date with only a couple of months notice can lead to difficult conversations with the not so happy couple if you can’t attend their big day. So sending a Save The Date card as soon as the date is set, signed and sealed is less a luxury and more a necessity especially in peak wedding season.
I don’t know about you but my house already has several of these cards pinned or propped about the place. I find these a useful clue to the kind of wedding I will be attending. And I need clues, there are about as many ways to get married as there are people tying the knot these days. Will it be a traditional church do or a pagan ceremony in the woods? Sometimes the stationery can give you a good idea of the planned colour scheme.
(Asking the prospective Mr & Mrs is also a good idea if you aren’t sure.)
Save The Date cards from Paper Themes start from as little as £1 per card (minimum order 20) and the range offers a choice of funny, classic or contemporary designs. With 63 to choose from you are bound to find the one that fits in with your style. As you would expect, the site also offers co-ordinating options for all your wedding stationery needs from invitations to thank you cards, orders of service to menu cards. The site is easy to navigate and the cards simple to personalise.
