Wedding Notes: The Paper Trousseau
We remind our brides that getting the guest list ready and the invitation order placed is a big job, but it is not the only part of your wedding paper trousseau. In addition to you personalized thank you cards, reply cards and envelopes, napkins and programs- there are other paper items to choose.
For a sit-down dinner, select table and place cards if you wish. Use paper and ribbons to match your invitations. Calligraphy will ad an elegant and personal touch to each card.
For an evening reception we suggest that you use bright and rich colored inks since the room is likely to be dimly lit. Menu cards tell your guests that you took time to carefully select a well-planned menu for their enjoyments. Use vellum paper stock as it will look special. Smaller cards can be placed at each plate, or if you are planning a buffet, a framed menu card at each end of the table works well.
We offer a gentle reminder that once home from your honeymoon, it is time to write thank you notes. Proper etiquette suggests that you respond within three months after the wedding, thanking people for their presence as well as their generosity.
Do let our experienced consultants help insure that your paper trousseau is complete.
