Personalised maps – If you're looking for something quirky yet useful, then a personalised map is the perfect wedding stationery idea. Many brides find that a map can help guide their guests to the wedding venue, showing that sharp turning or unnamed road that's easily missed.  After your wedding day, your map will provide a lovely keepsake that you can your guests can treasure forever.

Hand crafted.  From the moment the save the date arrives at their doorstep, transport your guests into your wedding theme with handcrafted, bespoke stationery. If you're looking to really showcase a particular theme (e.g. fairytale) then getting your stationery handmade using luxurious textures and limitless creativity, will create an unforgettable look.

Traditional. Offering pearls, ribbons, satin and damask print - timeless wedding stationery is a clear favourite with many brides who want their stationery to look sophisticated and chic. There are so many simple, yet stunning designs to choose from, many of which are extremely affordable because of their simplicity.

Eco-friendly. If you're planning a green wedding then eco-friendly stationery is a must. Seed booklets, plantable save the dates and plantable paper invites are all fabulous ideas to showcase your green theme. We love the idea of plantable invites which your guests can plant to remember your big day for years to come. These ideas fit particularly well with a festival or barn wedding, adding to the rustic, countryside theme.

Travel. If you're a keen traveller then we love the idea of passport save the dates and location specific invitations. Travel stationery is an up and coming idea which we spotted only last week at the National Wedding Show! Such a fab idea for jet setter couples who want to incorporate their love for travel in their wedding theme. Alternatively, this idea is perfect for destination weddings as it sets the scene perfectly.
