Sealed with a loving kiss or S.W.A.L.K for short. We no longer live in the days of handwritten letters under beeswax candles creating a warm, yellow glow in the room. The sound of scratching quill against parchment with stained fingers from the blotting of ink; now we just send a text message! LOL and BRB. Once upon a time, a letter was sealed with a wax stamp. Some seals more simple than others; a crest or imprint of state impressed into the hot wax and dried to signify status or importance. How grand to receive a beautiful white envelope with a symbol or initial sealing the flap shut for that extra touch of finesse and class. Let’s bring it back! No mess or fuss with the wax and candles ( there are far too many other pressing matters at hand) so Printing Boutique have lovingly designed easy peel stickers tailored to your wedding stationery. Really seal the envelope shut with a loving symbol or message for your addressee to open. How about you and your loved ones initials? Two dove birds symbolising your love and unity? Whatever you choose, this little touch is a real flourish! The perfect way to sign off any Invitation, RSVP or Thank you card.
Our stickers come in a range of sizes. The smaller for a more subtle effect to add a charming element to the envelope. A glint of gold or silver to create a classy, expensive seal. Pastel or nude colours add a delicate touch to accompany a simple design inside that await your curious guests. The bigger the bolder. Show off and truly celebrate your forthcoming wedding day. Red and green colours would follow in the footsteps of a traditional wax seal sent many a moon ago so why not use a bold font or image to entice the person opening the envelope? Think of other ways you could incorporate this sticker into your wedding stationery. Placed at the bottom of the invitation as a signature, placed at the bottom of the order of services to add continuity and relevance. Maybe placed delicately on a folded napkin for the hungry wedding guests to behold as they tuck in to bread and butter? Before the stickers are shipped to you, it will need your seal of approval of course. We will only ship your orders on approval of the proofs personally and considerately designed by our experienced graphics team.
More than one design?
Undecided on one design? Consider ordering a couple of designs and use this to your advantage. If you plan to send off the whole wedding stationery package – Save the Date, Invitations, RSVP and Thank you cards – tell a story with your stickers from start to finish. The evolution of your big event can be captured through symbolism that a wedding naturally bestows; wedding rings, church bells, entwined initials or birds to name a few. Something old, new, borrowed and blue.
Colours
Colour really captures and represents theme in an amazing way. Take red for example – romance, roses, valentines and passion. To another anger, danger, warnings and fire. Traditional colours for a wedding may be whites and creams, gold, silver and bronze. You could capture a particular colour that will be used frequently at your wedding for example the bridesmaids dresses or the ushers ties and pocket square to add continuity and consistency. What will you be saying with the colours you use?
Where can you use the stickers?
Stickers create a lovely touch of decoration to most wedding stationery but here are some other examples that stickers can be used for on your wedding day! Confetti cones held by your elated guests as you exit the venue. Placed at the bottom of your order of service booklets. Seals on napkins or paper cups at the evening party. That little touch of colour and design added to wherever you choose can bring depth and detail in the simplest of ways.
Using text or an image – or both!
Sometimes less is more. Quite simply you and your very soon to become husband or wife’s initials may be all your stickers need to crown the wedding invitation or its envelope. Immediately recognisable to that lucky family member or friend receiving it in the post. An image to represent your love for one another creates an endearing message such as hearts, birds, the sun and the moon. Say it more than words ever could.
