Wedding season is on the horizon, and for couples getting ready to tie the knot in 2025, there’s one thing that still holds a timeless charm: beautiful, printed wedding stationery.
Yes, digital RSVPs and wedding websites have their place, but nothing sets the tone for your big day quite like a thoughtfully designed invitation that lands in someone’s hand. It’s the first real glimpse your guests get of your wedding vibe, and it deserves to be personal, intentional, and yes, totally you.
At SBS Printers, we’ve been helping couples across Greenwich bring their vision to life on paper. This year, we’re seeing some fresh, exciting trends in the world of wedding stationery that reflect not only changing aesthetics but shifting values too.
Sustainability Meets Style
More and more couples are making eco-conscious choices these days, and wedding stationery is no exception. We’ve seen a real rise in the use of recycled cards, natural fibres, and even seed paper that guests can plant after the wedding (how lovely is that?).
Minimal designs with soft, earthy tones are on the rise too, not just because they’re on trend but because they reflect a more sustainable, thoughtful way of celebrating. And for couples who want to save a little on printing but still keep it elegant, QR codes linking to digital RSVPs are a smart and seamless touch.
We love chatting with couples about how to incorporate sustainability into their stationery without sacrificing design. With so many eco-friendly materials available now, it’s easy to create something beautiful and responsible.
Personality First
Gone are the days of cookie-cutter templates and generic fonts. This year, we’re seeing couples go all in on personalisation and using their invitations as a way to tell their story.
Some come in with hand-drawn maps of their venue. Others want to include a pet portrait or a timeline of how they met. We’ve even printed custom monograms and poems written by the couple themselves. The point is, wedding stationery is no longer just informative. It’s expressive and captures a feeling, a relationship, or a shared sense of humour, even.
That’s where local printing really makes a difference. Our team at SBS is hands-on. We can guide you through choosing the right materials, layout, and finishes and even help with design if you’re not quite sure where to start.
The New Look of Wedding Invites
From a design perspective, 2025 is going to be clean, bold, and modern. Typography is taking the spotlight, with names set in oversized serif fonts and layouts that are simple but striking. It’s a look that works especially well on soft-touch matte papers or with a touch of metallic foil for that wow factor.
Colour palettes are also evolving. While blush pinks and dusty blues still have their place, we’re seeing a turn toward richer tones – think terracotta, sage, midnight blue, and lavender grey. These colours pop beautifully on textured paper and pair well with natural elements, like dried flowers or twine, when packaging invitations.
Beyond the Invitation
One of the joys of working in print is seeing how couples carry their theme all the way through from save-the-dates and invites to on-the-day signs, menus, table plans, and thank you cards. There’s something so satisfying about seeing a couple’s style flow cohesively, stationery from start to finish.
Whatever the theme, the right print finishes, such as foil stamping, letterpress, hand-torn edges, or vellum overlays, can tie it all together. And we love helping couples figure out those small, special touches that guests remember.
