01 / Event stationery
Give the gathering
a common thread.
For small event planners and couples, event stationery starts with the way a gathering unfolds. Where will a guest pause, look for a name or need a little direction?

Think in moments
Follow your guest
through the day.
Use this sequence to identify what your event might need. The examples are prompts for your brief, not a fixed package of printed pieces.
- Arrival
A clear first welcome.
What should people notice when they arrive? Note the wording that introduces the occasion and any information that helps them find their way.
- Together
The right detail, in the right place.
Think about names, the order of events or information guests will read together. List the details that need to remain consistent across your paper.
- Afterwards
A thought to carry home.
Is there a final message you want people to keep? If a personal note matters more than event information, explore personalized notecards too.

A planner’s starting point
One gathering.
One useful outline.
Bring together the event type, intended audience, known dates and the moments you’ve identified. Separate confirmed wording from details that are still changing.
If you already have an invitation or visual direction, describe what you would like the event stationery to share with it. Quantities and practical requirements belong in the brief as questions to discuss.
