Most popular printing products for weddings
Postcards
Postcards serve as invitations and programs, both of which are indispensable for weddings. In addition to standard postcards, you can offer cards in Kraft cardboard, Pearl cardboard, linen cardboard or with metallic finishes. All these options add an extra touch of elegance and uniqueness.
Greeting cards
After the wedding, the couple usually sends thank-you cards, so consider printing thank-you cards to write a personal message inside. The best choice is a C1S greeting card (where the outside is coated and the inside is not).
Tent cards
Tent cards and menu cards are common printed products you'll see at dining tables. Tent cards are often used to display the table number assigned to each guest, or can be a simple display of the couple's name. Menu cards, on the other hand, are used to display the evening's menu and show guests what to expect during the meal.

If you need greeting cards, chances are you'll also need envelopes. These may or may not need to be printed.
