Wedding Planner: The Seating Chart

Pink Peony Seating Chart, Custom design by VanillaRetro



  One of THE most stressful parts of planning a wedding is undoubtedly the Seating Chart.

Though we all love our families, and we do want them to be a part of our day, we all have a crazy Aunt / Uncle / Sibling / Parent or [insert relative here] who we just dread putting with anyone for fear of them embarrassing or arguing, or god forbid fighting, with one of your fellow guests.

The Etiquette of Invitations

Many people become overwhelmed when beginning to plan their Wedding Day. There are a lot of things to consider; the invitations and associated paper goods being a very small part of it. But that does not mean to say that the invitations are unimportant.

Love is in the Air

I really love doing themed invitation designs, and this one has been floating around my head for a while. There is nothing new about Airmail themed invitations - that has been done before, I admit it. But what I really wanted to create was the Wedding Program, and the invitation suite gives Brides and Grooms the option of having fully coordinated stationery.

Ohio Woodland Wedding

One thing which I really enjoy doing, but don't get to share very often, is the custom designs for the wonderful Brides and Grooms who want something completely unique. This one is one of my favourites, and consisted of a full invitation suite, along with matching day stationery such as Table plan, table numbers, and escort cards.

Rustic Eco-Friendly Invitations

Here at VanillaRetro, we love designing invitations which work best with eco-friendly cardstock, such as Kraft card. So we've been hard at work developing new designs for the eco-conscious Brides-to-be of 2014, and here are a few snapshops of two of our newest ranges printed onto 100% recycled 300gsm Kraft Cardstock

NEW PRODUCTS! Designer Pocketfold Invites...

Here at VanillaRetro just across from Liverpool on the Wirral Peninsula, we have been busy, busy, busy beavering away and our product range. I am so proud of how far the company has come this year, since I approached the Prince's Trust and completed their Exploring Enterprise Program and I am finally in a position to expand my range to include Printed Units! Huzzah! Though we will continue to provide Customized Digital Templates for you to print at home if you so wish, we are very excited to now be allowing those without home printers to enjoy our creations too!

Guestbook Alternatives

 Thumbprint posters are the ideal alternative to traditional Guest Books. Everyone wants to keep a record of who attended your wedding, but writers block or one too many glasses of champagne can lead to some questionable entries. And besides, after the event, most of these keepsakes end up getting dusty and forgotten in the bottom of a bureau drawer.
