Classic & Creative – It's All About You

 
PLEASE NOTE
We apologise for the inconvienence
however we will be closed next Thursday & Friday
23 & 24 May, 2013.
So if travelling from far to visit the shop,
please plan around this.
Thank you.

 

Paper & Stuff has everything the discerning bride requires
to create stand-out stationery.

Select from a wide range of papers, browse beautiful ribbons,
discover delightful accessories, be inspired by our
gorgeous stationery samples.

Our samples are just the tip of the iceberg!
Many brides fall in love with a buckle, ribbon or simply a colour.
We will help create the invitation to suit, and help
theme the rest of the stationery to match.

We will work with you to make everything as easy as possible.

To select your beautiful stationery,
simply visit and talk to us about what is available.
Our wedding display boards show only some of the options,
there are more tucked away which if you ask, we'll bring out.
Or phone for an after hours appointment,
alternatively, contact us via email.

We offer stationery packages in three convenient options
that will help meet your budget.

DO-IT-YOURSELF
The most economical option, for those on a strict budget.
Choose the invitation style and materials you like.
Purchase sample pieces next, to take home
and confirm that they will work with your printer.
Play with your design until you are happy with the outcome.
Then bring or post the sample back to us, along with the
number of invitations that you are needing to make.
We’ll calculate the quantities of materials required and pull your order from the shelf, or order in any materials that are needed.
Then you print, cut and assemble your stationery.
You can proudly tell your friends that you made them yourself!

WEDDING-IN-A-BAG
Our Wedding-in-a-Bag option is our most popular.
We help you with invitation selection and also talk about any
other items and stationery you may require for your big day.
Once you are happy with your chosen design,
we do all the artwork, printing and cutting.
(Please note, you will receive proofs of the artwork for checking
before any printing proceeds.)
Everything required for assembly is put together in a bag for you.
When you pick it up, we show you how to assemble the
first invitation, provide all our helpful tips and tricks, and then
you do the rest and save on the assembly fee.
You can proudly tell your friends that you made them yourself!

CUSTOM-MADE
With this option we do everything for you.
When we have helped you through the design and selection,
we take care of the rest.
  Your stationery will be completed ready for pick-up
and you don't have to lift a finger.

Wording for Gift Suggestions

Here are some suggestions to consider for your
gift suggestion wording.

 

WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 1

More than just kisses so far we've shared
Our home has been made with love and care
Most things we need we’ve already got
Like a toaster and kettle, pans and pots

A wishing well we thought would be great
(but only if you wish to participate)
A gift of money is placed in the well
Then make a wish… but do not tell

Once we’ve replaced the old with the new
We can look back and say it was thanks to you!
And in return for your kindness we’re sure
that one day soon you'll get what you wished for!



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 2

They have their dishes and towels for two
They have pots and pans and oven mitts too
So what do you get for the Bride & Groom
Whose house is setup in every room?
Their house needs repairs and some upgrades too
But you can not register for carpet and glue.
A well that holds wishes is the way to go
So lets make it easy for all that know.
An envelope will be provided for those who have room,
To give a monetary wish to the Bride and Groom
A wishing well will be on display at the reception hall
To attach your wishes, for the couple, with love from all.



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 3

Our home is quite complete now,
We've been together long.
So please consider our request,
And do not take us wrong.
A delicate request it is,
We hope you understand.
Please play along, as it will give
Our married life a hand.

The tradition of the wishing well,
Is one that's known by all.
Go to the well, toss in a coin
And as the coin does fall.
Make a wish upon that coin,
And careful as you do.
Cause as the well's tradition goes,
Your wishes will come true.

So on this special day or ours,
The day that we'll be wed.
Don't hunt for special gifts
But give money is it's stead.
And as you drop the envelope,
With money great and small,
Remember, make your wish
As you watch your money fall



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 4

The tradition of the wishing well
used on the wedding day,
is here both for your money gifts
and for what you would like to say.

So please drop in a token of love
for this special Groom & Bride,
as they start their life united by God
to live forever side by side.



WISHING WELL WORDING POEM 5

Because at first we lived in sin
We've got the sheets and a rubbish bin
A gift from you would be swell
But we'd prefer a donation to our Wishing Well!!

 

WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 6

Soon you will hear our wedding bell,
As Friends and family wish us well.
Our household thoughts are not brand new,
We have twice the things we need for two.
Since we have our share of dishes and bedding,
We're having instead a wishing well wedding.
But more important we ask of you,
your prayers of love and blessings too!



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 7

This wishing well is here today for family and friends. Take an
envelope, make a wish and please drop it in. As it falls into the
well your wish, for the couple, will come true. A token for the
couple, to help them begin, will be welcomed, too. Please take the
time to make a wish before the day is through.



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 8

Now we are to be Mr & Mrs
We don't need a wedding list of dishes
we have two kettles, two toasters, two microwaves
We require a house for which we have to save.
If you would like to give us a gift,
A cheque or vouchers would give us a lift
We like to think of it as our 'Wishing Well'
Which will be filled with your love, we can tell.



WISHING WELL WORDING POEM 9

Our home is quite complete now,
we've been together long,
so please consider our request and do not take us wrong.
A delicate request it is, we hope you understand.
Please play along as it will give our married life a hand.
The tradition of the wishing well is one that's known by all.
Go to the well, toss in a coin and as the coin does fall,
Make a wish upon that coin and careful as you do.
Cause as the well's tradition goes your wishes will come true.
So on this special day of ours, the day that we'll be wed.
Don't hunt for special gifts but give money in it's stead.
And as you drop the envelope with money great and small,
Remember, make your wish as you watch your money fall.



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 10

"We've been together a few years now;
we have pots and pans and linen and towels;
we have glasses and toasters, really quite a few;
so instead of more gifts, we suggest this to you;
if it doesn't offend and it won't send you running;
what we would really appreciate is quite simply money;
we know choosing gifts can be such a pain;
and this way there is no chance of bringing the same."



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 11

"If you were thinking of giving a gift, to help us on our way.
A gift of cash towards our house, would really make our day.
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift,
feel free to surprise us in your own way."



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 12

We really would appreciate a little money of our own,
instead of a little gift for our new home!
We know you want to find something nice
But it's such a hassle to find the right price
So come and enjoy the day all sunny
We really would appreciate a little money.



WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 13

To save you looking, shopping or buying.
Here is an idea, we hope you like trying.
Come to our wedding, to wish us both well.
And bring this small envelope, to throw in our wishing well.
Fill it with paper any colour will do.
Now that we have saved you, all of that fuss.
We hope you will come, and celebrate with us.

 

WISHING WELL POEM WORDING 14

Many of our guests have enquired
For a gift idea to be inspired
Like many young couples today
We have most things anyway
If you would like to give, it is our request
For something for our treasure chest
A gift of money you can afford
Is just what we need you can be assured
Without the help of this little pun
Our honeymoon would not be much fun


   
WISHING WELL POEM 15

We don’t want to offend but we have it all,
all household goods and so much more.
To save you shopping, sit back and rest,
a gift of currency is our request.

Don’t go overboard or rob any banks,
any little thing will make us smile with thanks.
We supply the wishing well,
just pop in an envelope and who can tell?

Now that we have saved you all the fuss,
we would love you to come and
celebrate with us!
   


HONEYMOON FUND 1

We’ve collected most things over the years
from household appliances, to linen and
holiday souvenirs

With everyone travelling from afar
it may be hard to fit a present in the car

Our wish is only to see you on the day
celebrating in your own special way

But if you still wish to give a gift
we’d love you giving our honeymoon fund
a little lift

Place your gift in an envelope
and wish for all your dreams and hopes



HONEYMOON FUND 2


We're on our way to ?
for a romantic honeymoon,
A holiday for us to share that
hasn't come too soon.
So if you're thinking of a gift
and are not sure what to get,
A gift of cash would help us most
to get us on that jet.
But most of all we'd love you there
on our special date,
To share with us our happiness
and help us celebrate



GIFT VOUCHER 1

Your presence at our celebration
is all that we ask,
but if you wish to bring a gift
and are stuck for ideas
a voucher from (insert store)
would be put to good use!

Bride & Groom's names
   


GIFT VOUCHER 2

To save you looking, shopping and buying,
Here’s an idea we hope you’ll like trying,
As we have all the little things we require,
Some vouchers for bigger things is what we desire,
But, most importantly, we request,
that you turn up as our wedding guest!

Vouchers from (insert store) or a contribution to our
(insert store) registry
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

   

CHARITY REQUEST

Next to your presence at our wedding,
a donation made to the charity
of your choice in honour of our marriage
would be the most meaningful gift
you could give us.

Thank you

 

BIRD CAGE POEM WORDING 1

Many guests have enquired
for a gift to be inspired.
A Bird Cage we thought
would be great,
but only if you wish to participate.
A gift of money is placed in the cage,
to help us advance to
our next life stage.
If it is however a gift you find,
please be assured we will not mind.


BIRD CAGE POEM WORDING 2

If finding a gift is hard to do,
then our bird cage is just for you!
A gift of money is placed in the cage
and will help us advance
to our next life stage.
If it is however a gift you find,
we're sure a place for it we'll find.
Most important is your presence this
day and night, as our wedding
without you just won't be right.


BIRD CAGE POEM WORDING 3

We two love birds have it all…
Family, Friends and Love galore.
If a gift you intend to help our nest,
and need some help may we suggest
a contribution to our bird cage
will help us along to
our next life stage!
Most important is your presence
this day and night
as our wedding without you
just won't be right.



BIRD CAGE POEM WORDING 4

Soon you will hear our wedding bells
as friends and family wish us well!
Our household thoughts are not brand new,
we have twice the things we need for two!
Since we have our share of dishes and bedding,
we're having instead a bird cage at our wedding.
Just slip your gift of money between the wire,
and then we can shop for what our hearts desire!
Most importantly we request,
that you join us as our wedding guest.


BIRD CAGE POEM WORDING 5

On this special day of ours,
the day that we are wed,
don't hunt around for special gifts,
you'll surely lose your head!
Just pop some money in
this (an) envelope,
and slip it into our bird cage.
any little amount will be
met with thanks and
advance us to our next stage.
We thank you for your
precious gift given from the heart.
Remember - your willingness
to participate will give
our married life a head start!


BIRD CAGE POEM WORDING 6

 To save you looking,
shopping and buying,
here's an idea we hope you like trying.
In place of a kettle, toaster
and serving tray,
a gift of money would help
us on our way!
Just slip your gift of money
between the wire,
then we can shop for
what our hearts desire!
But if you had something else in mind,
we're sure a place for it we'll find.
Most important is your presence this
day and night, as our wedding
without you just won't be right.


BIRD CAGE POEM WORDING 7

Like birds who build their
homes with care,
we have every little stick and chair.
Our nestled home of love is great,
but we do plan to update!
A birdcage will be
at our reception for our guests
who would like to add funds
to help our nest!
But most importantly we request,
is that you join us as our wedding guest!

Menus

For seated receptions a table menu can be a good idea.

They can be a seperate item that sits upon a plate,
combined with the placecard,
or combined as menu, placecard and thank you.

You can choose to do one per guest or one per table.
If you have large table or round tables it can be good to do two menus per table, so that everyone can see one.

Order of Service

These are simply as they are called,
a program of the order of service for the marriage ceremony.

Whether you are being married in a field or in a church
these can add a nice touch to the ceremony,
and make a lovely keepsake.

Many churches have readings and hymns
that require the guest to have the words for participation.
This is also an easy way for everyone to know what's happening next.

They can be as simple as an A4 piece of paper folded in half,
to a ornate decorated program.

Fans & Parasols

Perfect accessories for perfect photo opportunities.
These also make excellent bridesmaid gifts.

You can also add pearls or rhinestones
to the fans to 'bling' them up.

Good Luck Cones

While confetti may have gone 'out' of style with many venues,
these paper cones are perfect for throwing rice or rose petals
to wish the new "Mr & Mrs" good luck.

It always pays though to check what your venue allows.

Placecards

Placecards are a personal touch for any seated reception.

They can be as simple as a folded piece of card with the guests name
on it, or as much as a combined namecard, thank you and
menu that sits on a guests plate.

Paper & Stuff can make personalised coasters for your special event.
While not as thick as a traditional coaster,
these will still do the job for you.
