What information is traditionally included in wedding stationery?
See the thing is, there are traditions of how to word things, what you should include, but I say screw that...to hell with all those ridiculous traditions. My rule is, if it feels right to you...then that's what you need to include.
That's why my Wedding Newspapers are perfect for you to completely put your own ideas and stamp onto things and include whatever is important to you...and no-one else. Whether you want my Wedding Newspapers, have another supplier in mind (how very dare you ha ha) or fancy a bit of a go yourself....please promise me that whatever you send to your guests will represent you, your day and personalities 100%!
