Mini Folded Cards: Smaller than a donut and twice as sweet.

Don’t you just love little stuff? Babies, tiny notebooks, bite-sized sweets…

Custom printed Mini Folded Cards
A cute little set of cards for all occasions, even the hard ones.

We added custom printed mini cards to our site because, well, our customers asked us to. If you’re wondering what you might do with cute little cards, we’ve got some suggestions (btw, we’ve ALWAYS got suggestions).

How about a little set of various ‘Just Because” cards? Perfect for a last minute gift or to include with flowers for a friend. You could create a set of 5 or 10 different designs, your customers would love it.

A wittle baby wedding or shower card is irresistible….

These little babies are great for weddings/showers too – as greeting cards or notes for guests. And how about white ink calligraphy on the cute little kraft envelopes as place cards at the table? Genius, amirite?

Custom printed mini note cards used as place cards at a wedding table with white ink calligraphy on the kraft envelopes.
Pre-print the message on the inside or have the happy couple write a little note to their guests. Do whatever you want, you’re the designer.

And don’t even get me started on gifting occasions like birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. The possibilities are endless – find out how to create your own mini folded cards here!

Wedding Paper Trends for 2021

2020 brought us a new product called a Change the Date, which really sucked for everybody involved. The good news is that weddings will make a comeback in 2021 and we’re here for the personal vibe that’s trending. Industry experts like The Knot are calling 2021 the year for Micro Weddings. That’s a small, more personal event but a big celebration with new and old traditions we love.

What does this mean for wedding stationery designers? It means a great opportunity to use customized design in your invitation suites, signage, favors and whatever else you create using your big ideas and our custom printing processes. And remember to login or create an account for wholesale pricing for creative pros.

  • Our die cut and hole punched gift tags can be used for favors, attached to attendants bouquets or hung on table wine. We used them here attached to boutonnieres to let each guest know that they are so important to the happy couple that should be adorned in flowers just like the wedding party. Click photo to see gift tags.
  • While white with greenery will still grace many weddings, this year brings rich color back. A less formal, warm vibe is applied to just some of the options you can access at StationeryHQ.com. Click photo to see more wedding options.
  • We printed table numbers on 8.5 x 5.5 cards using our variable data option. Create as many original designs as you need and put them in a multi page pdf file and upload. That’s it.
  • Our water resistant beverage labels add a little panache to beer, water bottles, and wine bottles.
  • We got creative with a product that is typically used as a growth charts for littles. Fine printing on a heavy canvas with dowels at the top and bottom and a ribbon for hanging makes for a gorgeous and inexpensive sign. Click on the image to see exact dimensions.
  • Variable data place cards are the perfect way to bring the theme to the table. Do just one design for all, or create a series of cards that corresponds to a table number design. The back is the perfect place for various quotes about love or fun facts about the couple.
This #10 flat card is elegant on a plate OR in tucked into a napkin.

Or choose our 6″ Round Die Cut for your menu for a little whimsy.

Keep in mind that with smaller crowds at weddings, it’s easier than ever to add designer touches and personalized paper accents. Brides and grooms will love the pieces that reflect them and their relationships. Look for more whimsy, humor and intimacy in wedding design for 2021. And don’t forget about sustainable paper, that will be important to your clients. We currently carry Recycled Cotton T-Shirt (actually mad from…wait for it… recycled t-shirts), Bamboo, Hemp and 100% Smooth Post Consumer Waste in most sizes and products.

Here’s to love and celebrating in 2021 – cheers!

Blush and Gold Wedding Papers

Waste Not Luxe Blush Envelope lined with engagement photo

We were lucky enough to have two of our kids get married in the last year and a half and this time the bride had a vision of a romantic blush wedding with a dash of sparkle and a ton of fun.

The invitation was double thick with matte gold foil. This is a custom order since I included two different processes. Because I am high maintenance.

18 x 24 Art Print
Use various Art Print sizes to custom print a single sign for your wedding or special event.
Art Print used as wedding signage for a blush and gold wedding theme.

I used our Art Print option for the signs. The easel sign is 18 x 24 mounted on foamcore. The Guest Book and Unplugged Ceremony signs are 11 x 14 to fit in standard frames.

2″ round stickers for misters in the heat
Program using A7 flat Cards
Back of A7 Program

The wedding day was hot as Hades and we didn’t want our guests’ flyness to melt so we did last minute misters (with lavender, cuz we are cool like that) and since I’m a designer I really needed the little bottles to look cute and not… last minute. So I printed 3″ round labels (because rectangles are way harder to line up on 180 bottles) and we made fans out of  Flat A9 Cards.

There was no printing involved in this photo, but isn’t my son so handsome? The bride is pretty cute too.

Each guest had unique menu
Variable data place cards with gold foil
#10 Flat Card for Menus with Rounded Corners at Blush, Gray and Gold themed wedding.

Our flat foil variable data place cards were perfect for this look. We included a menu which was silly because the guests didn’t have a choice. I created 10 original menus (and printed 20 of each) that included a joke and fortune in case the peeps at the table needed an icebreaker. #10 Flat Cards with rounded corners were perfect to insert in the blush linens. This was a huge hit with our guests.

That’s me and Mr. StationeryHQ smooching on the right. Wish I could do my own wedding all over again, good thing I have one more kid to go… see more of our guest book options and wedding supplies here.

Blush tones for wedding will always be in style.
Blush and Gold wedding papers will always be in style.
Blush and gold weddings will always be in style, from the flowers to the gowns and the fine wedding paper stationery. Flowers coordinated with custom printed menus, table numbers and place cards. The overall look is dreamy and elegant. The bridesmaids and the groomsmen looked lovely in their blush outfits and the wedding invitations which were custom printed on double thick paper with gold foil stamping were show stoppers.

 

White Ink on Colored Envelopes, yea baby!

We are pretty sure you are going to love this option as long as you know how to set up your files for print. For now we are only printing addresses on the front of the envelope, stay tuned for addressing + back flap – we are working on it!

For variable data with white ink:

1.    Create a multi-page, 7.25″ x 5.25″ document with each name and address on a single page for the A7 envelope.

2. Create a new swatch called SpotColor_White. This example is in InDesign.
