Beach Wedding Stationery With Starfish

Send out save-the-date cards months in advance of the wedding day.  How far in advance should they be sent?  That depends on the type of wedding.  Up to a year for destination weddings, so those who will travel long distances will have plenty of time to make arrangements.  Usually six months is enough time, but use your own judgement as you will be the best judge of timing.  The more info guests have ahead of time, the better.

We offer wedding program templates for beach and tropical wedding ceremonies. They can be flat or folded.  Also, fan type programs that are held on a stick.  

Z-fold or tri-fold type programs will have text on three areas and open like an accordion.  At the Sandpiper Wedding store we have tri-fold programs with printing and images on one side of the paper and the programs will be folded after they are purchased.

The wedding stationery on this page comes from the print-on-demand Zazzle.com site.  Designers will add their own unique images to paper and create text templates for the customer to use and add their own information.  Because everything is "printed on demand" shipping may take longer than orders placed at grab and ship places.  Uniqueness takes time.

Each shop-keeper at Zazzle will set his or her own royalty as they choose, so prices will vary.  Also the paper choice will reflect a change in price, with basic paper being the least expensive and the metallic type costing more. 

Although your order will be placed through an individual store, the items will be shipped by Zazzle.  If returns or exchanges need to be made, you will do that through the Zazzle site and not with the shop you purchased from. 

Also, please be aware that it is up to you, the customer, to proofread all text added to any product.  Zazzle does not proofread anything before shipping.

Some invitations and folded greeting cards now come as instant downloads along with the printed option.  See more on each product page.

Hydrangea flowers and starfish are images I have always used separately to create unique wedding invitation suites. 

The Seaside Garden design is perfect for couples who want to combine their love for the sea with pretty white wedding flowers.

This hydrangea is called "Blushing Bride" and the photo and graphic design is ours alone.

Once the wedding and honeymoon is over, you may be breathing a sigh of relief and hoping that life will become more calm and relaxing.  And it should, but you will have one more time-consuming task to undertake - writing the "thank you" cards!  Send notes of thanks as soon as possible after the honeymoon is over.  That is when it's time to get down to business and begin your life together.  And speaking of togetherness, both of you should work on writing the notes since you both were the recipients of the gifts. 

Have some wine and make an evening of it and reminisce as you come up with thoughtful wording for each individual card.  A simple, "Thanks for the gift" just doesn't cut it, neither does a pre-printed card - unless you also add a personal note with it.  And don't forget to thank the members of the wedding party, officiant, musicians, etc., if you haven't already.

If you need some inspiration, whether you will be thanking guests for their gifts, or bridesmaids for all their support.
