FAQs About Illustrated Wedding Stationery
Want to know more about illustrated wedding stationery? We've got all the answers!
What is illustrated wedding stationery?
Illustrated wedding stationery features hand-drawn or painted designs, often created by an artist or designer to reflect your wedding theme or story. From detailed venue sketches to floral watercolours and bespoke portraits, it’s a beautiful way to add personality and artistry to your invitations, menus, and on-the-day paper goods.
How much does illustrated wedding stationery cost?
Prices vary depending on the artist, level of detail, and number of items you need. Expect to pay from around £3–£10 per invitation, with bespoke illustrated suites starting from £300–£500 for a custom design. Fully hand-painted or luxury finishes can cost more, but many couples see it as a keepsake investment.
How long does it take to create illustrated wedding stationery?
Custom illustrated designs usually take four to eight weeks from concept to print, depending on revisions and printing times. If you’re short on time, some designers offer semi-custom collections where you can personalise existing illustrations for a faster turnaround.
What should I include in my illustrated wedding stationery suite?
Your main invitation is the star, but many couples also choose to include RSVP cards, details cards, menus, place cards, and signage that all feature matching illustrations. Some even extend the design to save the dates or thank-you cards for a cohesive look.
Can you have your wedding venue illustrated on your stationery?
Absolutely - venue illustrations are one of the most popular choices! Artists can create watercolour or line-drawn versions of your venue, which look beautiful across your invitation suite and even as on-the-day signage or framed keepsakes.
What’s the difference between bespoke and semi-custom illustrated stationery?
- Bespoke illustrated stationery is completely unique and designed from scratch for your wedding.
- Semi-custom stationery with illustrations uses a designer’s existing templates, which you can personalise with your colours, wording, and sometimes an illustration style.
Semi-custom designs are often quicker and more budget-friendly, while bespoke offers total creative freedom.
When should I order my illustrated wedding invitations?
Aim to start the design process at least six to eight months before your wedding, especially if you want a custom illustration. This gives you time for drafts, printing, and delivery. If you’re opting for semi-custom or digital designs, you can often order closer to your date.
