Beach Wedding Stationery With Starfish

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.

Each shop-keeper atZazzle 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.  Rounded corners are an option too.  All invitations will come with plain white envelopes.  

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.

What a great idea - personalize your own postage stamps!  Personal postage is easy to create using ready-to-use templates.  Themed stamps coordinate with a beach wedding or tropical celebration.  Save the date cards with postage to match are an exciting addition to your marriage announcements. 

Customize to your hearts content and make your mailings super unique.

Bridal or wedding shower invitations can also have the starfish theme.  Combine sea life with the bride's favorite colors, or her chosen wedding theme.  You will find images of tropical ocean water, beach sand combined with custom text on many sizes of invitations.  At Sandpiper Wedding we will happily create an invitation just for you.  

This 5x7 inch size can have rounded corners, a scalloped edge, bracket shape, and other options.

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.

Postcards are very affordable.  Magnets are popular.  And paper save-the-date announcements (come with envelopes and a choice of specialty paper) can achieve a more elegant look.

Wedding programs can come in shapes such as fans, round, or die cut to suit a wedding theme.  Program templates can be flat or folded.  Z-fold or tri-foldtype 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.

Book type, folded programs have text templates on four sides.  They are affordable and easy to customize with all ceremony info plus a thank you message or reception information.

Hydrangea flowers and starfish are images I have always used separately to create unique wedding invitation suites. Then, I thought, why not combine them for a bride who loves both! So, our new design for summer weddings incorporates a white, pencil sea star with white hydrangea flowers.

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.

Featured on a light blue background, this image can also be found on a wedding program, seating cards and more.

If you'd like to decorate your sweet treats with elements from the ocean that are completely edible, look no further than Andie's Specialty Sweets shop at Etsy.

They create the most incredibly realistic items that are made to be eaten!

I can see them being added to a wedding cake, cupcakes, or used as stand alone favors - just add a thank you tag!

Besides starfish, they have very realistic looking  seashells, sand dollars, lollipops, and colorful beach glass made from sugar, and sometimes chocolate. (photo is from Andie's Specialty Sweets at Etsy - used with permission.)

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, I have an Example "Thank You" Wording page to get you started.
