wedding itinerary cards.
So you’re getting married and making a weekend or a destination out of it, YAY! And also, wait. What’s the plan? What are the important dates and times? Where is everything? What do I wear? Is there transportation? Do I need a hotel block? And so on…These are the questions your guests will be asking themselves! Let’s make it easy for them.
The wedding itinerary / timeline or wedding details or wedding weekend card is going to be the saving grace for your guests. Along with a wedding website.
Here’s the thing. The card is the starting point. An immediate way for guests to peruse what the heck is up for this big celebration. They can wrap their mind around what’s to come and what’s expected of them. You can provide as much or as little information as you see fit on this card WITH a clear mention of checking the wedding website for additional information and maybe direct links for booking important things, such as hotels!
Wedding itinerary / timeline requirements: All event dates, locations, times and attire clearly stated. All transportation information / times clearly stated. Wedding website with clearly defined details for all of the aforementioned as a backup to the card!
Now what kind of itinerary card do you want? Let’s review some of the difference style I can create for you here, at Stephanie Tara Stationery! …
The map itinerary card.
The map itinerary card - the most popular option! On one side, it’s a one of a kind, hand painted map illustration. We include as many details as you desire and feel necessary for showcasing the are your guests will be staying at for your wedding. On the back side is the itinerary or details. There are multiple layout options here and I will always guide you on what I think is right for your stationery but they are all essentially the same when it comes to what information is being provided!
The love story details card.
The love story details card is the next most popular design! On one side, I paint all the important milestones of your journey together as a couple, leading up to your wedding! You can include as many milestones are you’d like. [ p.s. afterwards, I always recommend my couples order a large print of their love story art, to frame and hang in your new home! ] And on the back side is the wedding details / itinerary information.
The details enclosure card.
The enclosure card is a modern, simplistic approach to the details card. It’s super practical, holding all the other components inside its interior pocket. And on the inner flap is all the needed information. So it’s basically the perfect bundle of information designed beautifully. The enclosure card is very versatile and can be a variety of shapes and colors. This particular style was sealed with a wax seal, adding a level of sophistication that I personally adore.
The location to picture match, itinerary card.
A side by side, organized and easy to follow itinerary card. Matching the artwork from the front of the card [ which is a map in this case ] to the correlating information on the back of the card, is a fun way for guests to go spot each location on the map illustration on one side and then know what each one of them is going to be on the back!
The line drawn map and town outline.
For this map / itinerary card, the couple wanted a clean, line drawn map on one side, outlining some key locations. And since most of the couples guests were flying into Raleigh for this wedding and had ever been before, they provided a comprehensive list of fun spots to check out with a quick description of each, on the back side. I was impressed with this thorough “places to see” list that the groom organized, it was so thoughtful! The couples friends and family could look at this list and right away get a sense for what each spot was about and decide if they wanted to venture over in the time between any wedding related events.
The map and timeline.
The timeline can be combined with any of the above styles! On the right, you’ll see the timeline design which has an art deco feel, paired with small, line drawn symbols. You’ll see drawings of rings, champagne glasses, a shuttle bus and more! If I don’t already have a drawing for the event, I will work one up for you ;) The timeline is super detail oriented and it’s not recommended if you feel anything could change otherwise this may be confusing to your guests! I personally like the timeline as an itinerary card that is waiting for each guest in the hotel room welcome bag for destination weddings because the specific outline can be super helpful to friends and family!
