WEDDING INVITATIONS
One easy way to add wax seals to your wedding is by using them on all of your invitations and stationery. If you use the seal on your invitations, your guests will recognize it. They might even wonder where else you incorporated it! It also gives a special and personalized touch that guests love. For example, if you have a monogrammed initial seal, you can use it on each invitation to create a cohesive look across all of the stationery.
You could even go one step further and make each envelope unique by varying the color or texture of the wax seal used for each one! Adding a wax seal is a simple way to add excitement, elegance, and a special touch to your wedding invitations.
They add a beautiful, vintage effect to the stationery that is sent to your loved ones.
FAVORS & GIFTS
Wax seals also add a personal touch to gifts and favors. If you’re giving out small gifts like candles, jewelry boxes, or mugs, consider sealing them with personalized wax seals featuring your initials or other meaningful symbols. This will show your guests that you put extra effort into making their gifts special, and it’s sure to leave them with an unforgettable impression. You can also use wax seals on gift tags attached to larger items like flower arrangements or centerpieces—it’s an easy way to make something ordinary into something extraordinary!
TABLE DECORATIONS & PLACE SETTINGS
Wax seals can even be used as part of table decorations or place settings at the reception. Customized stamps featuring names or initials make great name cards that will help guests find their assigned seats without any confusion.
The other option is if you want something more eye-catching, you could use metallic wax beads in lieu of regular ones for added sparkle and shine. And if you want something truly unique, try using two different colors—one for each side—to create stunning two-tone designs!
PLACE CARDS AND SEATING CHARTS
Incorporating your wax seal on place cards and guest seating charts easy way to add customization to your reception. Select the color of the wax that complements your color scheme.
MENU CARDS
My love for menu cards go to the moon and back- I talked about it in my blog post. If you put in the planning and time for a beautiful menu, why not have it printed on gorgeous paper.
WEDDING FAVORS
Make wedding favors even more personalized by adding a wax seal. For a dainty touch, add a tiny flower stem to the look. Simply ask your florist for a small bunch of tiny stems that dries beautifully, they will stretch a long way.
VOW BOOKS
A wedding vow book is the perfect lifelong keepsake to hold heartfelt words and commitment you and your spouse share.
THANK YOU CARDS
You have one final time to offer a lasting impression with all of your guests.
