Wedding Stationery Styles for Every Personality

Choosing your wedding stationery is no easy task thanks to the amount of options and different styles. Each couple has their own personal style, and that should shine through on your invitation suite. After all, your wedding invites and save-the-dates set give guests a sneak peek at what's to come on your big day. We've made a guide to find out which type of wedding stationery, from the type of font to the color scheme, is right for you.

Want: Fun and fresh

Try: Amatic SC
This invitation to a colorful wedding in Houston, Texas gets the message across audaciously and cheekily with a wild invite that isn't afraid to push the envelope or sample the color wheel. The mix of block letters and playful script give the suite a carefree, youthful vibe. Plus, the fun and funky cacti illustrations make sure the recipients of this invitation know that they're in for a great time.

Want: Fashionable flourishes

Try: Calligraphy, Mademoiselle Camille
Big, swooping lettering and elegant designs are what you're looking for. Take this stationery suite from a classic Southern wedding for example. With its gold typeface, monogrammed header inside an illustrated wreath, and watercolor illustrations of the wedding venue, the suite creates an image for the guests of what to expect at this wedding. The invitation shows off a truly traditional and timeless look of pure elegance.

Want: Sleek and minimalistic

Try: Mohave
For their Brooklyn wedding, this couple stayed true to their industrial and flower-free theme with a sleek, modern invitation. We love how the bold typeface used on the couple's names juxtaposes with smaller, thinner typeface used for the rest of the invitation details. Straightforward and to the point, this is one chic invitation that doesn't mess around.

Stationer: Bella Figura
Not only does this company based in downtown Syracuse, New York, have lovely products, but the team of 75+ designers and calligraphers are serious about the environment: "We donate 1 percent of our sales to essential environmental organizations," says the website.

Want: Classic and refined
 

Try: Serlio and Shelley Volante

For traditional stationery think simple with elegant fonts and minimal colors. This suite from an outdoor wedding in the Catskills used fonts in all caps for a clean, uniform look with no illustrations or designs, save for the map of the compound on which the wedding was being held. The bride hand painted the edges of the invitation with a coral color to match with the inside of the envelope and to give the suite some personality, without deviating from the cohesive feel.

Stationer: Mixed Company
Tara Keleher, founder and creative director of Mixed Company, focuses on everything about the weddings, from invitations and event branding, to floral design and full on wedding planning.

Want: Simple with a rustic feel

Try: Asterism 
This stationery suite from an outdoor wedding in Marfa, Texas features calligraphy-esque font, which is actually a foil stamp with minimal designs surrounding the typeface. The scrawling lettering fills out the space on the card, giving life to the suite without having to incorporate a border. The leaf design following RSVP is just small and simple enough to work with the rest of the suite, and the pink watercolor illustration on the back of the invitation works perfectly with the minimalist vibe of the suite. Plus, the blush ribbon adds that needed vintage feel to round out this rustic look.

Stationer: Signora e Mare
Stationer Katie Hyatt was inspired to pursue a career in lettering after discovering old handwritten love letters in her grandparents' home. The name Signora e Mare means Lady and the Sea and was inspired by her love of the sea and of Italy. The stationer is based out of Atlanta, GA.

Want: Part folksy appeal, part fairy-tale panache.

Try: Hand-drawn lettering
Romantic doesn't have to mean sappy, and folksy doesn't have to mean unrefined. For proof, take a look at this charm-loaded suite from a destination wedding in Morocco, decorated with delicate florals and hand-drawn lettering. Alternating between script and block lettering as well as the bright pink and green illustrations gives a fun and fanciful feel to this stationery. Plus, the map and illustrations of the wedding events on the back of the invitation add a super sweet detail without being too cutesy.

Stationer: Rosie Harbottle
Rosie Harbottle, a freelance illustrator based in Devon, UK says she works to make sure her "personally tailored designs capture the magic of your day."
