We love working with people who are as passionate about unusual and sustainable materials as we are, so when the opportunity came to collaborate with Nova-Terra, it was a natural fit. Together, we have brought together Nova-Terra’s creative designs with Dynamic Print’s range of unusual eco-friendly papers and specialist printing and finishing. The result is a collection of papers that are not only kinder to the environment but also bring something different to a printed project.

Papers with a story to tell

This collection includes some wonderfully unusual papers made from natural and recycled materials, including 100% cotton, seaweed, agricultural waste, grass, confetti and even elephant poo! We also have a range of seeded papers containing wildflower seeds. These are particularly popular for wedding stationery, invitations and promotional materials because the paper doesn’t have to be thrown away once it has been used – it can be planted and, with a little care, turned into flowers. And we know it really works because we’ve got our own little experiment going on at our industrial estate! Take a look at our garden and you’ll see some of our seeded paper doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

Some of our favourite unusual papers

One of the papers that always gets a reaction is our seaweed paper. It contains 30% seaweed and has a lovely natural appearance. But there’s something else that makes it memorable…

It actually smells like the sea!

Then there’s our coffee husk paper, which contains real coffee husks within the sheet, and our confetti paper, which has colourful pieces scattered through the paper to create a fun and celebratory look. These papers aren’t trying to look like conventional paper and that’s exactly what makes them so interesting.

Sustainable doesn’t have to mean boring

We think sustainable print should still look and feel fantastic. The texture, colour and natural inclusions in these papers can add another dimension to a design, particularly when combined with traditional finishing techniques such as hot foiling, embossing, debossing and die cutting. They can work beautifully for wedding invitations, stationery, packaging, certificates, promotional materials and creative projects where you want the finished piece to stand out.

Would you like to see the papers?

If you’re looking for something a little different from a standard recycled paper, we’d be happy to send you a free eco paper sample pack. There’s really no substitute for seeing and feeling these papers in person. Some of them are quite difficult to describe until you have them in your hands! If you’d like to find out more, get in touch with Dynamic Print and we’ll be happy to help you choose a paper for your project. You can also find out more about our collaboration with Nova-Terra and their creative work by visiting Nova-Terra. We really enjoy working with unusual papers, and this collection is a great example of how sustainable materials can be both environmentally conscious and genuinely exciting to print on.

Planning a wedding involves hundreds of little details, and wedding stationery is one of the easiest things to overlook. From your first save the date through to your thank you cards, printed details help set the tone for your wedding and bring your overall style together. At Dynamic Print, we specialise in premium wedding printing, including hot foiling, embossing, debossing, die cutting and luxury digital printing. We work with a wide range of beautiful papers and finishes to create wedding stationery that feels as special as the occasion itself. So, what wedding stationery do you actually need?

Here’s our wedding printing checklist to help you plan.

1. Save the Dates

Your save the date is often the first piece of wedding stationery your guests will see. It should include the essential information:

• Your names
• The wedding date
• The location or general area
• A note telling guests that a formal invitation will follow

Save the dates can be simple, elegant or highly creative. If you want to make a strong first impression, consider foil printing, embossed details or a specialist paper stock.

2. Wedding Invitations

Your wedding invitation is arguably the most important piece of your wedding stationery. It needs to provide all the information your guests need, including:

• Wedding date
• Ceremony time
• Venue
• Reception details
• RSVP information
• Dress code
• Accommodation information, where relevant

You may also want to include additional invitation inserts covering directions, accommodation, transport, your wedding website or other useful information. For a luxury finish, hot foil wedding invitations are particularly popular. Gold, silver, copper and coloured foils can add a beautiful metallic detail, while embossing can give your invitations a tactile, three-dimensional finish.

3. RSVP Cards

If you are asking guests to formally confirm their attendance, an RSVP card can be included with the invitation. Remember to allow space for:

• Guest names
• Attendance confirmation
• Meal choices
• Dietary requirements
• Any other information you need

Including a pre-addressed envelope can also make it easier for guests to return their response.

4. Order of Service

An order of service helps guests understand what is happening during your ceremony.

It might include:

• The names of the couple
• The wedding party
• Ceremony timings
• Readings
• Hymns or music
• Special acknowledgements
• The order of the ceremony

This is another opportunity to bring your wedding design together through your choice of typography, paper and finishing.

5. Wedding Menus

Printed wedding menus don’t just tell guests what they are eating they can also become part of the table styling. Menus can be personalised with each guest’s name or designed as a shared menu for the table. For a luxury wedding, consider combining a beautiful uncoated or textured paper with foil printing, embossing or die cutting.

6. Place Cards

Place cards make it clear where each guest should sit and can also become a decorative part of your tablescape. They can be printed on a wide variety of papers and cut into different shapes to complement your wedding stationery. For something more memorable, consider foil-stamped place cards or embossed names.

7. Table Numbers and Table Names

Whether you choose numbers, names, places or something completely personal, your table stationery should be easy for guests to see. Your table numbers or names can be designed to match your invitations and menus, creating a consistent look across your wedding.

8. Seating Plan

A seating plan is particularly useful for larger weddings. It should be clear and easy to read, allowing guests to quickly find their table. A professionally printed seating plan can also become an important part of your wedding décor. From large-format printed boards to individual cards and beautifully finished paper, there are plenty of ways to make it part of the overall design.

9. Wedding Signage

Wedding signage helps your guests find their way around the venue while adding personality to your day.

You might need signs for:

• Welcome signs
• Ceremony directions
• Reception directions
• Seating plans
• Bar menus
• Guest books
• Gift tables
• Photo booths
• Wedding favours

Keep the design consistent with your invitations and other stationery so everything feels part of the same wedding.

10. Wedding Favours and Tags

If you’re giving your guests a wedding favour, a small printed tag can add a personal finishing touch. Tags can include your names, wedding date, a short message or simply a thank you. Specialist die cutting and foil printing can turn a simple favour tag into something much more distinctive.

11. Guest Books and Other Printed Details

There are plenty of smaller printed items that can easily be forgotten when planning your wedding stationery.

Depending on your wedding, you might also need:

• Guest book cards
• Advice cards
• Thank you tags
• Confetti cones
• Drink tokens
• Bar menus
• Cocktail cards
• Table plans
• Wedding favour labels

You don’t necessarily need all of these the right stationery depends on your wedding and your venue.

12. Thank You Cards

After the wedding, don’t forget your thank you cards. These are traditionally sent to guests who attended your wedding or gave you a gift. You could include a favourite photograph from your wedding day or continue the same design used throughout your wedding stationery.

Don’t Forget the Printing Details

Once you’ve decided what you need, there are a few practical things to consider before sending your artwork to print.

Check your quantities

Don’t order exactly the number of guests attending. It’s always sensible to allow for a few extras, particularly with invitations, menus and place cards.

Check your artwork carefully

Proofread names, dates, addresses, timings and dietary information carefully before approving your artwork. Once something has been printed, mistakes can be expensive to correct.

Think about your paper

Your choice of paper can completely change the look and feel of your wedding stationery. At Dynamic Print, we work with a wide range of premium and specialist papers, including textured, recycled and environmentally considered stocks.

Consider finishing

If you’re looking for something more luxurious, think about whether hot foiling, embossing, debossing or die cutting could enhance your design. These processes add texture and dimension that you simply don’t get from standard digital printing.

When Should You Order Your Wedding Printing?

Don’t leave your wedding stationery until the last minute. Save the dates are generally sent well before the invitations, while invitations need to allow guests plenty of time to RSVP. On-the-day stationery such as menus, place cards and table plans can be finalised closer to the wedding once your guest numbers are confirmed. If you’re using specialist finishing such as foil blocking, embossing or die cutting, allow additional production time.
