Why I think you should book a professional wedding stationer...

| Becky Smithbury

The short answer: Booking a professional wedding stationer takes one big task off your plate. You get expert help with timing, wording, etiquette and printing, peace of mind that everything will land on time, and stationery that genuinely impresses your guests- rather than hours of DIY frustration with templates and home printers. The fairy-godmother bit is real: you brief the vision, the rest gets handled.

If we haven't met before, I'm Becky and Hawthorne and Ivory is my wedding stationery design studio. I design colourful, fun-loving save the dates, invitations, on the day pieces (menus, place cards, signage), guest books and thank you cards for UK couples- either through The Design Shop's ready-to-customise collections or completely bespoke.

Life can be a whirlwind, and when it comes to planning your perfect wedding… it often feels like time slips through our fingers like sand. With a never-ending to-do list and a multitude of decisions to make… it's easy to get overwhelmed.

This is where a professional wedding stationer, such as myself, can bring a sigh of relief to your busy schedules.

I completely understand the joys and challenges that come with wedding planning. I've done the sleepless nights spent agonising over colour schemes, floral choices, finding the perfect DJ… it can be tough! So, that's why I wanted to take the stress out of your wedding stationery.

I'm here and ready to be your wedding stationery fairy godmother, waving my wand of creativity and expertise to ensure your stationery journey is a smooth and delightful one.

But, how exactly can I help with your wedding stationery? Let's get into it…
