Pick a consistent type hierarchy and one or two colors for the whole printed suite. Use a separate proof for each piece, since guests read a menu while seated and a schedule while moving. Ask one person to check event names, spelling and time formats everywhere before print.
An ivory menu and plum seat card
Invitations & paper
An ivory menu and plum seat card
A place card and menu share cream centers and deep plum borders.
The repeated paper color connects the table details and gives names a clear place.
Use a menu per table or per end of a long table if you want fewer printed pieces. Clear actual ingredient questions with the caterer.
Ask before you decide. Which information should stay on the supplier list instead of a public card?
A folded cream ceremony program
Invitations & paper
A folded cream ceremony program
A small folded cream paper program has a quiet open layout.
A fold makes room for order, names and optional context without making each text line too small.
Start with ceremony order and the information that helps a guest participate. Print a full-size sample and check it folded.
Ask before you decide. Who checks readings, titles and spellings with the participants?
Two colors for companion event cards
Invitations & paper
Two colors for companion event cards
Blue-green and cream companion cards overlap on a pale surface.
Separate cards help hosts send just the additional events each household is invited to.
Use event names prominently so color is a secondary clue. Keep the finished piles separate and check an example envelope for each invitation group.
Ask before you decide. Can each household tell which events require its reply?
A blue folded weekend schedule
Invitations & paper
A blue folded weekend schedule
A folded blue-and-cream schedule uses alternating panels.
Panels help separate locations, days and transport times without needing a dense list.
Give the most important route one clear panel. Add a private contact for last-minute changes and keep a plain-text version available.
Ask before you decide. What information will still be accurate if the weather changes?
Separate print quantities
For an 80-person dinner, a place card may be needed per guest, a menu per setting or table, and a schedule per traveling household. Count each from the right list and hold a few blank cards for handwritten replacements.
