Choosing paper and finish
Most couples choose a heavy board in matt, silk or a textured uncoated finish. Gloss suits bright, photo-based designs. Keep the same paper across invitations, menus and place cards for a consistent look. Read about paper finishes and paper weights.
Names on each piece
Place cards, addressed envelopes and personalised invitations can be printed from a guest list spreadsheet. Check spellings carefully – especially family names – and send the final list once RSVPs are in. See variable data printing.
Timing
Invitations are usually printed months before; on-the-day items in the final two weeks. Neither needs Same-day, so use Standard or Economy and leave time to check. Collect from Rivonia or have delivery arranged.
Wording tips
Invitations usually start with who is hosting, followed by the couple's names, the date written out in full, the time, the venue name and address, and the reception details. Add the dress code, an RSVP date and how to reply. Keep extra information – accommodation, gifts, directions – on a separate information card so the invitation itself stays uncluttered.
Placing your order for wedding stationery: everything is done online – choose the specification, pick Economy, Standard, Express or Same-day where offered, upload your file and pay. We accept card payments through Yoco and EFT; anything under R5,000 is paid upfront, and R5,000 or more needs a 65% deposit. We message you when the job is done so you can collect from Rivonia Central in Oriental City, or we arrange delivery to your door at a quoted price.
