A Guide for All Couples - with Downloadable Checklist

Whether minimalist or opulent – when planning your wedding, sooner or later the question arises: Which stationery is really necessary? And what is more of a “nice to have”?

As a designer with years of experience in the wedding industry, PapierRomantik shows you which cards, signs, and details should not be missing from any wedding – and how you can cleverly use your budget without compromising on style and quality.

In the downloadable checklist, you’ll find both categories clearly summarized.

The Most Important Stationery Elements at a Glance

You should definitely plan for these basics:

• Save-the-Date Card
Ideal for long lead times or destination weddings. Gives your guests planning security well in advance.

• Main Card (Invitation)
The centerpiece of your stationery. Contains all important information about place and time as well as the official and formal invitation.

• Detail Card(s)
For information such as dress code, accommodations, gift wishes, or schedule – so the invitation doesn’t become overloaded.

• Response Card / RSVP
Facilitates planning and ensures quicker responses – especially a must-have for classic stationery. This can be sent back to you as a response card or you can share your wedding website link with your guests there (e.g., via a QR code) or an email address/phone number.
