Navigating your wedding stationery can prove to be an overwhelming experience for couples. There are countless styles, finishes and papers to choose from.

At Kaizen Weddings, we pride ourselves on being specialists in printing wedding stationery where we print everything from directional signs and table numbers to save the dates and wedding invitations.

 

Make your stationery inviting

Your invitations will set the tone for the rest of your big day. Everything from the finish of the paper to the design will incorporate the theme of your wedding day.

We offer an unrivalled selection of paper choices, print finishes and designs to the couples who choose Kaizen Weddings.

We’ve put together a few top tips to help equip you with the information you need to begin organising your wedding stationery.

 

Save the date

The very first piece of stationery couple will need to think about are their save the dates.

Not only are they the first indication your guests will have of the vibe of your big day. Additionally they play a crucial role in ensuring the attendance of those who you want to have at your big day.

Typically, couples choose to send their save the dates 12 months ahead of their wedding to ensure that their guests have enough notice to plan their attendance into their schedules.

Choose from uncoated, silk, kraft, ivory, pearlised and frost white paper to print your save the dates on. Our save the dates can be finished to A7, DL & A6 size depending on your preference. We are also able to offer rounded or straight edge finishes on save the dates.

Whilst couples should send these our 12 months in advance of their wedding, we appreciate life can get in the way. This is why we offer a super-fast 2-day turnaround on our save the dates.

 

Invite in style

Here at Kazien Weddings we understand just how important your wedding invitations are. Not only do they invite your nearest and dearest to your big day, they are also a further glimpse for guests of your wedding colour scheme and of course the essential information around your big day.

We offer an extensive portfolio of printing options, paper finishes, design and sizes. If you’re overwhelemed by your options, why not arrange a free wedding consultation with our dedicated team? Their aim is to make the experience as enjoyable and stress free as possible.

 

Add some glamour to your invitations

Foil printing is undoubtedly one of the most popular wedding finishes we offer at Kaizen Weddings.

Having invested in state-of-the-art hot digital foiling technology our foil printing is not only of the highest quality but we’ve also made the process as cost effective as possible too.

Our foiling blocking can be finished in gold, rose gold and silver and can be printed on ivory, silk or uncoated card and we’re able to print in a variety of quantities to suit all budgets.

 

RSVP Cards

Increasingly popular amongst our couples are our RSVP cards. Easy to slip in with your invitations, our RSVP cards ensure your guests reply in a timely fashion.

We print our RSVP cards in smaller sizes such as A6 A7 and DL to ensure they fit neatly inside your invitations and don’t add bulk inside the envelope.

We can ensure that your RSVP cards are finished in the same style as your invitations to keep your stationery printing consistent.

 

Additional touches

Here at Kaizen we specialise in all things weddings. We have found increasing demand for gift list cards to be inserted into couples’ invitations. If you’ve registered for gifts at a specific shop, these are a great pointer for your guests. We find couples increasingly use these cards to inform guests of honeymoon funds or charitable donations in lieu of gifts.

As with all of our printed products we can print your gift list cards on any of our paper types and ensure that their design is in line with the rest of your wedding stationery.

Additionally information cards have also grown in popularity in recent years. These are great for couples to put directions on and to list accommodation options.

Our information cards are also a great choice for couples who are having a destination wedding. Include flight information, hotels and travel companies to assist your guests in booking.

In addition to printing your wedding invitations our experienced and dedicated team can assist with your orders of service, place names, thank you cards and welcome signs.

Is there a more momentous day in a couple’s life than the wedding day?  In addition, is there anything more potentially overwhelming to think about for a couple?  Every couple wants and strives to make everything perfect.  This includes every minute detail.  From the venue to the music and their finalising lists, couples just want to ensure everything is right on the big day.  One of the biggest elements is the wedding stationery.  This is a couple’s first impression out to their world.  The stationery will set the tone for the proceedings.  Kaizen Weddings have been helping couples throughout Ireland and the UK deliver beautiful and timeless wedding stationery packages.  Let’s look at the different wedding stationery finishes offered to you by Kaizen Weddings.

Wedding Stationery Finishes – Card Stocks

All of the wedding stationery offered by Kaizen Weddings is available to you on a multitude of alluring card stocks. Wedding stationery is important as it gives your guests all the information they require for your big day.  In addition the stationery sets the tone and builds the excitement long before the big day arrives.  Every couple is unique and tastes can vary so let’s look at some of the card stock options available to you, if only to alleviate some of the stress of being overwhelmed by information.

Frost White

Frost white is one of the most popular choices for card stocks.  This is the classic card stock, so if you want something tried and true, the traditional route is for you.  This bright-white, uncoated card stock features a subtle texture.  Therefore, it provides a high quality and tactile finish.  Frost White really allows your designs to shine.

Ivory

Ivory card stock comes all the way from one of the most critically acclaimed paper mills in the world.  This card stock adds a subtle warmth and texture to your stationery design.  This bespoke cream card features a soft texture.  The Ivory has quickly become a favourite for couples across Ireland.

Kraft

The Kraft card stock is quickly becoming one of the most popular stocks for wedding stationery.  This card stock is perfect for those looking to create a vintage and rustic vibe to their proceedings.  It took us many years to source the right type of kraft card.  However, we think you’ll agree that the time spent looking was well worth it.

Pearlised

Looking to add a touch of sparkle to your wedding stationery?  Look no further as our Pearlised card stock will have you covered.  Pearlised card stock is a double-sided silver pearlescent card stock.  In addition, we can overlay colour to create a shimmer effect to your colour palette.  There have been some pretty unbelievable designs created with this card stock.

Silk

The silk card stock is one of the most versatile.  The semi-gloss texture really allows colours to pop.  It is the perfect complement to full-colour photography based wedding stationery.  This card stock is contemporary and bursts with colour.

Uncoated

The uncoated card stock is the perfect choice if your pastels, watercolours and traditional designs need a more tactile feel.  This card stock is high-quality and provides soft matt colours.  It is the perfect card stock for foiling and embossing.

Special Wedding Stationery Finishes

In addition to offering a variety of card stocks, the team at Kaizen Weddings have some special finish options to take your wedding stationery to the next level.

Foil Blocking

Foil blocking is a favourite addition to wedding invitations.  You have the option of gold, silver or copper foiling.  The metallic finish catches the eye perfectly.  In addition, it provides a unique contrast to the printed background.

Embossing

Make your wedding stationery stand out, quite literally, with embossing.  It is an eye-catching addition to your wedding stationery.  Create raised areas of design or text that create feature areas on the design, and give a classy look and tactile feel to your wedding stationery.

Personalisation

Kaizen Print offers you a personalisation service for your wedding stationery.  We can print guests’ names, addresses, messages and more directly onto your wedding stationery.  If you are worried about making a mistake or illegible handwriting with your stationery, you no longer have to.

Perforation

Some couples combine their wedding invitations with RSVPs through ticket-like designs.  Using perforation allows you a tear-away element that can be returned as an RSVP.

Wedding Stationery Made Simple

Is there a more momentous occasion than the wedding?  For many couples it is the ultimate celebration.  Friends, family and colleagues gather to celebrate the union of two people about to embark on the journey of their lives.  It is the reason we strive to ensure our wedding is the perfect event.  From clothing to event space, and from food to the DJ, every detail is a laboured one.  Much of the big day is out of our control.  However, one thing we do have control over is our wedding stationery.  It sets the tone for the proceedings and informs your guests on all the pertinent details.  Therefore, it is vital to ensure your wedding stationery informs and excites your guests.  In addition, the process of selecting your stationery should also be exciting and not turn into a laborious amount of work.

Wedding Stationery at Kaizen Print Ireland

There’s so much stress in organising a wedding.  Here at Kaizen Print Ireland we have a dedicated team who are happy to help you with your full wedding stationery package.  From Save the Date cards right through to the final Thank You cards, we strive for this bit of planning to go as flawlessly as possible.  Let’s look at some of the options Kaizen Print provides for your big day.

Save the Date Cards

To start planning your perfect wedding, you need exciting Save the Date cards to create the perfect tone for your event.  These cards are not as formal as the invitations but they do give your guests notice to plan themselves.  We have a range of paper options, sizes and finishes that will suit your needs and budget.

Wedding Invitations

The formal start to counting down to the big day!  The wedding invitation is really the most important component of your wedding stationery.  It contains all the necessary information for your guests, including location and times.  In addition, the invitation sets the tone and style for the occasion.  You can experiment with shapes, sizes, styles, colours and paper stocks to truly reflect your personalities.  Let the excitement begin!

RSVP Cards

A key component to organising your big day is knowing who is going to attend your event.  The RSVP card allows you to keep track of final numbers which will inform so much of your planning.  Therefore, you are able to confirm guest numbers and get to work on your food ordering and start your table plans.  Our RSVP cards are available in a range of sizes and card stocks.  We can create the perfect RSVP card to beautifully compliment your wedding stationery.

Wedding Gift List Card

The Wedding Gift List card is a popular trend in modern wedding invitations.  They are the perfect way to relay your wants and wishes to your guests.  It is not a must for your wedding stationery.  However, they can strike the right balance of your wishes with those who are unsure of what to gift.  Therefore, ensure the design is elegant and respectful.

Order of Service Booklets

Order of service booklets help your guests stay on top of the proceedings and inform them of what is next on the agenda.  They can be full booklets or simple timelines, whichever suits the tone of your wedding.  However, it is up to you what to include and we are more than happy to help you along the way.  Our booklets are printed on your choice of elegant silk or uncoated paper stocks.

Table Plans

Table plans are one of the most memorable and functional items of your wedding day.  They are guaranteed to be viewed by each and every guest.  They let your guests know where they are sitting and eliminates any confusion.  In addition, they can act as the welcome to your big day, so make your guests feel welcome and excited with a brilliant design.  We have two options you can choose from:  A poster, which is suitable if you plan on framing.  Second is a Mounted option, suitable for placement on an easel.

Table Name Cards

If there is any remote chance of confusion following the table plan, the Table Name card will clear it up.  In addition to being useful, you can use these cards to inject personality into the formalities.  You can continue the theme set out with your wedding stationery or go with something totally different and fun.  Our table cards are printed on a range of cards stocks.  In addition, they are printed on both sides to ensure visibility.

Event Menu Printing

Now that you have exchanged your vows, it’s time to eat!  Wedding menus let your guests know what they will be eating over the course of the evening.  You’ve put a lot of effort into planning the meal for your guests.  Therefore, allow your menu to reflect that effort.  The menu is one of the most exciting elements of your wedding stationery for your guests.  Therefore, impress with the food and dazzle with your menu printing.

Thank You Cards

Once the glow of the most memorable day dims a bit, you can reflect upon the day and your guests with a thank you card.  Make the card perfect to express your thanks to every guest who shared in your moment.  You can choose from a range of card stocks to give the best finish to your design.  You can continue the theme of your wedding stationery or showcase a beautiful wedding photograph.  The choice is yours.  Therefore, make it the perfect conclusion to your event.

Get In Touch for Your Wedding Stationery

Wedding planning can be gruelling.  You want to ensure every minute detail is perfect and memorable for your guests.  However, all your planning doesn’t need to be stressful.  Let Kaizen Print assist you in designing and printing the perfect wedding stationery.  Compliment your occasion with exciting stationery that excites your guests.  We have been working with couples all across Ireland for years.  In addition, we pride ourselves in our ability to adapt to each and every individual request.  Our talented team of designers can create and print something personal and perfect for you, no matter your style or budget.

Wedding Invitations: Summer Design Trends

Aah, nothing says summer wedding like Uncle Dermot all liquored up and sweating in his good suit. We kid. Summer is the perfect time for a wedding and we’re here to help you make it perfect. 

We have all the stationery items you need to pull it off in style. But what style? While we can take care of the printing and design, you should have something in mind for the type of design you like. 

If you are stuck for an idea, here’s a few to get you started.

Locations

Use the outline of a map from your town, country, the place where you met or even a map where the event or events will be. It can be very stylised and functional. 

A background image of a park, the ocean or any place that is important to you is ideal for your invitations and all your paper items. If you are having an away wedding, use an image from that location, like a palm tree or mountain. 

Share and Share Alike

Perhaps an image or design that depicts how you met. You could have your invitations designed to look like a menu, listing names and locations like a restaurant menu does. 

Chess or checkerboards, beer mats, bowling items, anything that is special to you that reminds your guests how you met. You could use an image of a bike, or a canoe. We can add colours, coating, foil blocking, anything you think will suit your ideas.

Whatever brought you together will keep you together. Use a guitar image or piano keys with musical notes if music is your thing. Finding your special design makes your wedding so much more unique. 

Family

You can use a picture of the two of you, and if you have children, include them. This is nice for couples who have been together for a long time or for newly blended families. 

Use pictures of your pets, if that’s the way you roll. Maybe you met at the dog park, so why not include them on your special day? Our pets are often a major part of our family and having them be a part of the big day makes it special and unique.

Colour Coordinated

Find the perfect invitation that matches everything in keeping with your whole theme. Use the invitations as a beautiful accent to the colour theme of decorations, the Bridesmaid dresses, decorations and all other items used. 

Match them up with name place cards, thank you cards, save the date, all the paper goods you need. Why stress when we can take care of all of that for you. Order all your custom designed stationery at the same time and let us worry about that for you.

Let The Invitation Talk

Perhaps you would rather go down a more traditional route. A beautiful invitation doesn’t need to be trendy or busy. A beautiful paper with just the right font and a beautiful trim or coating. 

Choose from embossed printing or graphics, to enhance and draw focus to certain areas. Choose the perfect finish for your invitations to bring it all up to the level you expect for your special day. 

Find something that looks antique, classy, regal or just plain simple design. We can help you make it yours so it’s unique and special for only you.

If you are starting to plan your wedding, chances are you have seen a lot of invitations by now. The best plan is to find the pieces you like and bring them to us. We can help you come up with the perfect design for your invitations and all your wedding stationery needs.
