You'll love this guide if...
You are:
Planning your own wedding
Wondering when invitations should be ordered
Unsure what wedding stationery you'll actually need
Wanting everything to feel organised from the beginning
Looking for a wedding stationery timeline you can actually follow
Wedding stationery is more than just invitations.
Your stationery is one of the first experiences your guests have of your wedding.
From your save-the-date arriving in the post to the welcome sign that greets guests on the day, every piece helps tell the story of your celebration.
You don't need every detail perfectly matched.
But when your stationery is planned as a whole, everything feels more thoughtful, connected and personal.
This guide helps you start with the practical decisions first, so you can enjoy the creative ones later.
Hi, I’m Amy
I'm the designer behind Poppyseed Design.
I create bespoke wedding stationery for couples who want their wedding to feel beautifully personal, not like someone else's Pinterest board.
Over the years, I've helped couples bring their wedding vision together through invitations, signage and on-the-day stationery that feels considered from beginning to end.
I created this guide because I know one of the biggest questions couples have isn't what looks good.
It's...
"Where do we even start?"
Hopefully this guide gives you that answer.
What you will walk away with...
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED.
No more wondering whether you've forgotten something important. The checklist walks you through each stage of your wedding stationery.

SEE HOW YOUR STATIONERY FITS TOGETHER.
Discover how thoughtful stationery creates a more connected experience, from the first invitation to the final details on your wedding day.
"Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Amy was an absolute pleasure to work with when we wanted help creating an original design for our wedding invitations & signage."

Frequently Asked Questions
WHEN SHOULD I ORDER MY WEDDING INVITATIONS?
Every wedding is different, but allowing plenty of time for design, proofing and printing makes the process much more enjoyable. The Wedding Stationery Checklist & Timeline includes a simple timeline showing when to start planning your invitations, alongside the other stationery you'll need throughout your wedding journey.
WHEN SHOULD I SEND MY SAVE-THE-DATES?
Save-the-dates are especially useful if you're planning a destination wedding, getting married during a busy season, or have guests travelling to celebrate with you. The guide includes suggested timings to help you decide when to send them based on your wedding plans.
WHAT WEDDING STATIONERY DO I ACTUALLY NEED?
Not every wedding needs every piece of stationery.
The guide walks you through the different stages of wedding stationery,from save-the-dates and invitations through to on-the-day pieces like menus, place cards and signage, so you can decide what suits your celebration.
DOES THIS GUIDE INCLUDE ON-THE-DAY WEDDING STATIONERY?
Yes. Alongside invitations, you'll also find a checklist covering items such as welcome signs, seating plans, place cards, menus and other on-the-day stationery that helps your wedding run smoothly.
IS THIS GUIDE SUITABLE IF I'M ONLY HAVING A SMALL WEDDING?
Absolutely.
Every wedding is different, and you won't necessarily need every piece included in the guide. It's designed as a flexible planning tool to help you understand your options and choose what works best for your wedding.
CAN YOU ALSO DESIGN OUR WEDDING STATIONERY?
Yes.
I create bespoke wedding stationery for couples who want everything to feel beautifully connected, from save-the-dates and invitations through to menus, signage and the finishing touches on the day. If you'd like some help after reading the guide, I'd love to hear about your plans.
HOW MANY WEDDING INVITATIONS SHOULD I ORDER?
A common mistake is ordering one invitation per guest. In reality, most couples only need one invitation per household or address. The guide includes this and other practical tips to help you avoid common stationery mistakes before you order.
WILL THIS HELP IF I HAVEN'T CHOSEN MY WEDDING STYLE YET?
Yes.
One of the first steps in the guide is thinking about the overall look and feel of your wedding before making stationery decisions. Even if you're still deciding on colours or styling, the checklist will help you understand what comes next.
IS THE GUIDE FREE?
Yes.
