The Day-of Stationery Styles We Can’t Stop Staring At
As much as we can sit here and drool over drop-dead gorgeous invites, we’re just as obsessed with the ceremony and reception essentials that couples can play with. With all the money spent on the wedding itself, it’s understandable why lots of brides and grooms just end up using the paper goods that their venue provides - table numbers, escort cards, even menus. It’s easy and cost-effective. But more often than not, these day-of details only come in black and white and are lackluster at best. That’s why we love Minted and all of its stunning selections to outfit a modern wedding. From ceremony programs to place cards, table numbers to mesmerizing menus, all unique designs from independent artists, the end to end options that couples have at their fingertips are truly endless and promise seamless wedding style across all stages of the wedding.
I got my save-the-dates from Minted, so when I ordered my place cards and menus for my wedding day, I thought it was a great way for us to close the loop on our whimsy wedding design and refresh the memories of our guests on what their first impressions of our wedding were (after receiving our save-the-date).
If you’ve forgotten about your day-of needs, let these Minted mainstays remind you:
📝Everything is fully customizable to suit your style.
📝Place cards are offered with free guest name printing, exclusively at Minted.
📝Menus give guests a sneak peek of the meal to come. All menus can be customized to match a Minted invitation design and printed in the color of your choice.
📝Table numbers - Table numbers enhance the look of your tablescape and put the finishing touch on your special day. All table numbers come with free custom text printing of the names or numbers of your tables. Offered with double-sided printing.
We rounded up a few of our favorite day-of designs that add so much to just that, the day of!
Really, take a look at any of the below and try not to focus on the pretty paper. We dare you!
Something like these gilded drape place cards really set off a shades-of-purple tablescape with greenery, matte black plateware, and gold metallic utensils. The prismatic botanicals and fancy-font printed calligraphy offer a feminine touch to the design, but the silver metallic foil brings a nice balance. Mixed metals done so right.
Your flowers can be a great complement to table numbers and place cards, too, if you’re picking up some of the petal palette in a harmonizing floral motif like this technicolor flora periwinkle, teal, and cerulean creation.
And if you really want to get that custom, flawlessly-styled setup, it’s all about layering different looks that all work together on a table. We like starting with a neutral canvas - like a khaki or burlap-colored tablecloth - simple white ceramic plates and chargers, and then selecting table numbers and place cards that aren’t from the same suite but accented by the same kind of metallic foil (rose gold to match with copper flatware and similarly-etched glasses).
