An introduction

Stationery is often treated as a design question and is first of all a timing question. Save-the-date, invitation and reply hang on a chain: who is invited when decides when you have a reliable guest number — and you need that for venue, catering and seating. Stationery is therefore not decoration at the edge but the metronome of the planning.

The second point is content, and that is where nearly all the follow-up questions come from. An invitation that does not answer place, time, running order, dress code, travel and how to reply generates messages — mostly one at a time, mostly to you. What does not fit on the card belongs somewhere you can name.

And then there is everything made of paper on the day itself: menus, table numbers, order of events, thank-you cards. Much of it is produced late and therefore in a rush. This section works through the order — what goes out when, what has to be on it, and what can be produced together instead of three times separately.
