When it comes time to choose your wedding stationery, you may feel a little overwhelmed. First, the themes and styles feel endless. From stationery adorned with colorful floral prints, to rustic details and even stationery that features photos of the happy couple – it can be hard to nail down which look is thee look for the two of you.

We like to say, when in doubt, go classic. Timeless wedding stationery is our go-to choice because it can fit any wedding-day style. Look for beautiful paper, classic printing and gorgeous fonts that’ll come together in harmony to create romantic wedding stationery.

Begin with a Timeless Save the Date

A timeless save the date should include the three important details about your wedding, and not a whole lot else! Our favorite designs with classic styling don’t include photos, but instead let your simple and joyful message shine.

When looking for a save the date that’s simple but romantic, pay close attention to the paper stock and printing methods that are used. Our favorite printing for save the dates is thermography; it keeps the cost affordable, but it’s way more special than flat digital ink. The lettering is raised from the paper and either glossy or shimmering (depending on the color you choose). Thermography save the dates definitely set a sophisticated tone.
