Event decor has an awkward shape as a purchase: you need an oddly specific quantity, everything has to match, and there is a hard date. Printing handles all three better than most options.

Quantity that suits a real event

You need eleven table numbers, not ten or twenty-five. You need eighty-three place cards. Conventional suppliers price in boxes and minimums; printing to order has neither, so you buy the number you actually need.

Matching is the whole point

Nothing makes an event look thrown together faster than near-matching items from three sources. A set printed in one run – numbers, card holders, menu stands, favours – is genuinely identical in colour and finish. This is the most common reason we get event enquiries.

What people order

Table numbers and menu holders. The workhorses. Stable bases matter more than looks – a number that blows over outdoors or gets knocked by a chair is a nuisance all evening. Our menu card holder is designed for exactly this.

Place card holders. Small, high quantity, easy to personalise. If you want names printed directly rather than on cards, say so early – that is a per-item job and it affects the timeline.

Favours. This is where printing shines: a small keepsake specific to the couple or the occasion, in a quantity no manufacturer would look at.

Signage and cake toppers. One-offs where a custom shape or a name is the entire product.

The timeline, honestly

This is the part to get right. A standard design in a standard colour: allow one to two business days for dispatch plus your provincial delivery window. A custom design: allow one to three weeks including a prototype round, because you will want to see one before eighty exist.

Start the conversation earlier than feels necessary. We would rather quote a comfortable schedule than a tight one, and we will tell you plainly if a date is not achievable instead of taking the order and hoping.

A word on colour

Matching a specific wedding colour is possible but not guaranteed. Send a photo of the fabric or swatch in daylight and we will tell you which of our materials comes closest and whether it is close enough to look intentional rather than like a near-miss. Sometimes a deliberate contrast is the better answer.

Tell us the date, the quantity and the look and we will come back with a real plan.
