A quirky new trend has arisen recently in the wedding stationery market: plastic cards. With more and more young couples choosing a fresh and fun modern wedding and dispensing with churches, traditional white dresses and expensive table linen, it is perhaps unsurprising that conventional wedding stationery has gone out of the window for many young brides. Once upon a time there was a standard form for wedding correspondence which called for a succession of expensive die-cut save-the-date cards, single-fold invitations printed with the names of the couple’s parents, and finally thank-you cards all in a staid ivory with a script font. However, this has largely gone the way of the white dress and the church wedding, becoming only one style of planning a wedding.

In its place offbeat young couples are instead turning to more memorable, durable wedding correspondence. This year has seen a huge increase in the availability of practical means of communication with a twist, such as printed fridge magnets, bookmarks, and the credit-card sized plastic card. Easy and affordable, plastic card printing is available online offering a full range of design options for font, wording, colour and image. The sky really is the limit, which suits alternative weddings or weddings looking to represent an unusual theme in all of their correspondence. And best of all, a credit-card sized card can be slipped easily and securely into the recipient’s wallet, making it memorable and easy to find, hugely increasing the chances of an RSVP!
