Destination Wedding Stationery: What You Need to Know

Your venue is booked. The flights are sorted. Now for the part your guests will never forget.
Destination weddings are becoming more common. Tuscany, Lake Como, Greece, the South of France. And one of the most common questions I get from couples planning overseas is: what do we do about stationery?
The answer is simpler than you think.
Stationery Travels
Paper is one of the easiest things to transport internationally. Your wedding invitation suite will be mailed directly to guests in Australia, long before anyone boards the plane.
Your on-the-day pieces including menus, place cards and table numbers pack flat and fit in a suitcase with room to spare.
Linen signage is another destination wedding favourite. Welcome signs, seating charts, bar signs. It folds, it's lightweight, and a quick steam on arrival and it's ready. No freight nightmares. No customs concerns.

The Details That Make It Personal
A destination wedding already has the setting. Tuscany's rolling vineyards. Lake Como nestled beneath the mountain peaks. Santorini's clifftops above the Aegean. The sun-drenched châteaux of the South of France.
What bespoke wedding stationery does is bring you into it.
A suite designed specifically for your day, your palette, your vision. Guests receive the invitation and already know they're in for a considered, curated experience. From welcome drinks through to the recovery lunch, every touchpoint is an opportunity to bring your story into the room. Stationery is the thread that ties it all together.

What To Plan For
Save the dates: sent early, these do the heavy lifting for international guests booking travel.
Wedding invitation suite: main invitation, details card, RSVP and accommodation cards, all mailed from Brisbane, Australia.
Welcome event stationery: menus, signage and place cards for the welcome drinks or dinner the night before.
On-the-day pieces: menus, place cards, table numbers, bar signs, welcome signage, seating chart. All packable. All worth it.
Recovery lunch: a considered menu or signage to close the celebration as it began.
