Incorporating your own personal style into your wedding starts with the wedding stationery. Save-the-date cards and invitations are the first few items that your guests will receive and they set the tone of your wedding. Other components that come thereafter would be ceremony programmes, table numbers, place cards and thank-you notes.

Here are some design elements to consider :

• Postcards. Save-the-date cards can be designed as a postcard. Quirky and cost-effective when it comes to postage.
• Theme. Develop a theme around either a monogram, a graphic illustration or perhaps colours.
• Texture. Choose unusual paper. Combine other materials such as satin or organza ribbons, florettes, stickers, crystals etc. with your chosen paper.
• Di-cut. Unusual shapes are bound to create attention. 
• Eco-friendly. Some couples are going eco and using recycled paper and materials.
• Stamps. Pos Malaysia offers a custom-designed stamps service.
