card types – Just about anything is possible

There are several types of co-ordinating cards, scrolls and additional stationery items such as photo albums and guest-books available.

It can be confusing when you try and work out what goes where. Bear in mind that if you don’t want to follow the conventions, done by daisy will work with you to create a perfect solution especially for you. If what you want isn’t mentioned, just ♥ contact us and we’ll work out how we can do it for you.

Save the Date Card possibly with an envelope, or even as a fridge magnet?

We can supply either
A6 (105 x 148mm) post card style	landscape/portrait	single flat-stitched insert
A6 (105 x 148mm) folded card style	landscape/portrait	single flat-stitched insert or spine-stitched insert

or any size to order
If you are planning your big day during high summer or maybe around Christmas, or even abroad, this is an advance warning to all your guests.

You need to be ultra-organised here; send this card between 12 to 6 months before your wedding (see timing) You also need to have very clear ideas of the colour scheme and/or style of wedding that you’re thinking of if you want all your stationery to co-ordinate.

Wedding Invitation with envelope

We usually supply a folded card style – why not choose from…
A5 (148 x 210mm) folded card style	usually portrait	single flat-stitched insert or folded spine-stitched insert
or
A6 (105 x 148mm) folded card style	usually portrait	single flat-stitched insert or folded spine-stitched insert

This is likely to be the first hint to your guests about the style of your wedding and will probably reflect your style as a couple too. It is the main information source about your celebration. If you are going to enclose reply cards and envelopes, maps to the venue, accommodation information and possibly wedding list details, then you may like to consider another slightly larger, possibly padded envelope to fit it all in.

This invite should be sent to your guests between 12 and 8 weeks before the date of your wedding, in order to allow time for the replies and time for you to plan.

The design featured on this key item is pivotal to all other co-ordinating items, which don’t necessarily have to repeat exactly the same design. In fact, dare we suggest that the other cards are often better with just an element of this main design?

Scrolls with presentation box

We are able to supply an A4 (210 x 297mm) printed scroll, rolled and tied with ribbon, presented in a matching box. There are several colour and finish options. The box will feature a stitched-on element, such as your names and possibly an embellishment and the scrolls themselves can feature stitching too. To save you some money, we can supply the boxes flat for you to make up yourselves. For pricing options take a look at our ♥ how to order pages. Sturdy, outer posting boxes are also available.

Evening Invitation with envelope

We usually supply a folded card style – why not choose from…
A5 (148 x 210mm) folded card style	usually portrait	single flat-stitched insert or folded spine-stitched insert
or
A6 (105 x 148mm) folded card style	usually portrait	single flat-stitched insert or folded spine-stitched insert

This is to send to those who will not be present at your wedding service, but will join you afterwards to celebrate. The design featured on this invite is often the same as that on the Wedding Invitation.

This invite should also be sent to your guests between 12 and 8 weeks before the date, at the same time as your Wedding Invitations.

Reply card with/without envelope

We usually supply
A6 (105 x 148mm) post card style	landscape or portrait	with single stitched insert or printed direct-to-card

This is the ‘RSVP’ that you have requested on your Invitations. It ensures that some of your less organised or very busy guests don’t have to think about composing an acceptance or otherwise! It is an optional (organised) extra to pre-print a return address label for the envelope/reverse, with some brides even going to the generous length of pre-stamping the envelope!

This card usually has very simple brief wording with a dietary requirement space and will probably not feature a design element - after all they are going to be sent back to you.

Order of Service or Order of the Day

We usually supply either
A5 (148 x 210mm) folded card style	with 2 folded double spine stitched inserts (up to 8 page sides)
or
A4 (210 × 297mm) paper sheets

The folded card option is usually an outer cover featuring folded printed inserts, (though if you have opted for a simple civil ceremony or simply want an Order of the Day, you may wish to work with a narrow DL format) (99 x 210mm)

The card outer cover may feature the names of the Bride and Groom as well as the date, time and venue of the Wedding, or this information can be shown on the first page of the insert. The subsequent insert pages are to guide your guests through the hymns and readings of the service or indeed to communicate details of the civil ceremony and the celebrations that you have planned.

Often undecorated, in simple classic white or ivory, this card might feature a narrow (coloured) ribbon or braid through the fold to co-ordinate with your chosen colour scheme. This item is usually ordered much later than the invitations (see timing), because you will have detailed arrangements that are not usually finalised until much closer to the wedding date. The style that you select will probably match that of your Invitations to provide a cohesive feel to all your stationery.

A4 printed paper or card sheets can be printed (in a co-ordinating colour if required) as a simpler option

Table Plan
A1 (594 x 841mm)
or very occasionally A2 (420 x 594mm)

A large unique collage decorated to reflect the colour scheme and style of your wedding, co-ordinating with the theme of your other stationery and the reception décor.

This is a one-off piece and is usually displayed at the reception venue entrance on an easel for example. This plan will illustrate the layout of the tables and who’s sitting where and with whom. The Table Numbers or Names correspond to those on the actual tables and the name position echoes the positioning of the Place-Cards.

Prices for Table Plans usually work out at around £150.00, but are quoted individually and reflect the tight timing that usually accompanies the final guest list for any wedding. Strict copy deadlines have to agreed and accepted to give done by daisy enough time to produce a Table Plan that you will be proud of.

A beech easel is available for loan if you are Sussex–based and can collect.

Table Numbers/Names

We usually supply a double-sided postcard style
A5 (148 x 210mm) folded card style	landscape/portrait	with flat-stitching or printed direct-to-card
or
A6 (105 x 148mm) post card style	landscape/portrait	with flat-stitching or printed direct-to-card

These accompany the Table Plan and can be as simple or as decorative as you like. Not always strictly defined as stationery, done by daisy has been known to get very creative with Table Numbers and Names! Let your imagination run wild and have some fun!

Place Cards or Favour Tags
No standard sizing

We usually supply Place Cards as	60 x 100mm folded
Most popular Tag sizes are	Narrow 90 x 35mm or Wide 100 x 50mm
Standard hole can either be a	small round heart or daisy.
Tags can be left	un-punched.
Tags are offered	Blank or with sewn-on names, or cut or torn to size.

Ribbon can sourced to match and is usually 3mm wide and 25mm long in satin or organza. Length can be varied, wider options & a range of colours can be sourced.

Again, as plain or as crazy as you like and again pricing is totally dependent on quantity and content. Tell us what you want and we’ll find a way it get it made! If you want some of our ideas to reflect the style or theme of your wedding then we have loads of them!

If the names of the guests are to be included in the order, then the same strict copy deadlines that apply for the Table Plan are also applicable here.

Thank-You Cards with envelope

We can supply either
A6 (105 x 148mm) post card style	landscape/portrait	single flat-stitched insert or blank

A6 (105 x 148mm) folded card style	landscape/portrait	single flat-stitched insert or folded spine-stitched insert

Your guests came and saw and ate and drank! Shouldn’t they be thanking you for such a wonderful day, yes of course, but they did give you a fantastic present and without your nearest and dearest friends, family and neighbours you wouldn’t have such treasured memories of your perfect day – so take the opportunity to tell them so.

Supplied with an envelope, this card can include a pre-printed insert or be left blank for a personal and individual thank-you message
