    Mid wedding season catch up & Sophie's travel dilemma

    Wedding stationery can feel like one of those things you have to get right — but how much do you actually need, when should you order it, and do you really need save the dates? In this episode of The Aisle Diaries, Joella and Sophie are joined by Sophie Elizabeth from Sophie Elizabeth Wedding Stationery to talk about everything couples need to know about wedding stationery, from invitations and RSVPs to table plans, menus, signage and those all-important little details. Sophie shares her honest advice on when to book your stationer, how many invitations you actually need, what information should go on your invitations and why she thinks save the dates can be a waste of money. The girls also discuss digital invitations, wedding websites, QR codes, adult-only weddings, dietary requirements and how to make your guest list crystal clear. Plus, they get into wedding stationery budgets, current colour trends, whether sage green has officially had its moment, why couples shouldn't be afraid to spend money on the details they genuinely care about, and some of the biggest stationery mistakes Sophie has seen. And, of course, there’s a Bridal Spiral involving a missing table on a table plan… because even wedding suppliers are human! If you're planning your wedding and feeling overwhelmed by stationery, this episode is packed with practical advice, honest opinions and plenty of laughs to help you figure out what you actually need — and what you really don't. ✨ In this episode: When should you book your wedding stationer?What actually needs to go on a wedding invitation?Do you really need save the dates?How many invitations should you order?Wedding stationery budgets explainedAdult-only wedding wordingHow to handle dietary requirementsWedding websites & QR codesWhat to do when your guest list changesWedding stationery trends and coloursWhy your wedding budget should reflect what matters to YOUThe reality of running a wedding stationery businessA very honest stationery Bridal Spiral!Produced by TAEPodcast - www.taepodcast.co.uk
