Semi Custom Wedding Stationery: Make It Your Own
The short answer: Semi-custom wedding stationery means starting from one of The Design Shop's pre-designed collections and personalising it- colours, wording, finishing touches, and small tweaks- to make it feel like yours. It's quicker and more affordable than fully bespoke, while still giving you something genuinely personal. Collections like Autumn Floral, Olive Branch, Wild Romance and Minimal Monochrome each give you a different starting point.
A bit about who's writing this- I'm Becky and Hawthorne and Ivory is my wedding stationery design studio. I make colourful, fun-loving save the dates, invitations, on the day pieces (menus, place cards, signage), guest books and thank you cards for UK couples. Semi-custom lives in The Design Shop, which is exactly where we're headed.
Planning a wedding involves many exciting and important decisions, and one of the most personal choices you'll make is your wedding stationery. Semi custom wedding stationery is a great way to put your own mark on a design without going fully bespoke.
In this blog, we'll explore the joys of semi custom wedding stationery, guide you on how to make it uniquely yours, and showcase some of the stunning options available at The Design Shop.

How to Personalise Your Wedding Stationery
One of the best parts about semi custom wedding stationery is the ability to make it uniquely yours. For collections from The Design Shop, there are several customisation options to ensure your stationery reflects your style and personality. Let's explore some of these options in detail:
Colours
The colour palette you choose sets the tone for your entire wedding. Whether you want to match your stationery to wedding party attire or your wedding flowers, changing the colours featured in a design is a simple yet impactful way to make your stationery your own. From soft pastels to bold hues, the possibilities are endless.
Envelopes
Envelopes are like the wrapping paper to your beautiful stationery gift. Swapping the envelope colour can add an extra layer of personalisation and excitement for your guests. Imagine their delight when they receive a beautifully coloured envelope that hints at the joy inside.
Additions
I totally understand that personal touches make all the difference... and that's why I offer the option to add all kinds of illustrations to your designs... From your wedding venue, beloved pets or even a map of the surrounding area. These additions not only enhance the design but also create a memorable keepsake for you and your guests.
Flourishes and Finishes
To elevate your stationery further, consider adding luxurious finishes such as foil accents, ribbon ties, wax seals, or vellum wraps. These elegant touches add a sense of sophistication and show off your attention to detail.
Creating semi custom wedding stationery is a delightful and creative process. It allows you to put your personal stamp on a design, making it truly yours without the time and cost investments of fully bespoke options. From choosing colours and illustrations to adding luxurious finishes, each decision brings you closer to the perfect representation of your wedding day.
I absolutely love hearing all about your ideas and getting the opportunity to blend them with my creativity. Each love story is unique, and it's truly a joy to infuse your personal touches with my design expertise, crafting something that speaks to who you are as a couple. Let's collaborate and create something beautiful together!
By choosing semi custom wedding stationery, you're opting for a blend of convenience, personalisation, and beauty. You get to enjoy the best of both worlds- beautifully pre-designed templates created by a professional (yours truly)... that you can tailor to fit your vision perfectly.
