Not sure where to start with your wedding theme? Explore 10 key tips for choosing the perfect theme and colour palette for your wedding stationery and overall celebration.

There’s something effortlessly romantic about a beach wedding. The soft sound of waves, the sea breeze in your hair, the golden light at sunset—it all sets the stage for a wedding that feels intimate, beautiful, and timeless. It’s no surprise that so many couples dream of exchanging vows with sand between their toes and the ocean as their backdrop.

If you're planning a beach wedding, your venue is already doing a lot of the talking. So why not match the magic of your setting with equally stunning wedding stationery?

Make an Impression with Beach Wedding Invitations

Your wedding invitation is the first glimpse your guests will get of the day you’re planning—so set the tone with a beach-inspired design that reflects the romance and atmosphere of your chosen location.

At Dotty About Paper, we offer a gorgeous range of beach wedding invitations to suit all styles. Whether your vision is soft and romantic or bold and modern, there’s a design to match your theme. Some of our most popular styles include:

• Heart in the Sand – A timeless symbol of love etched into a sandy shore

• Coastal Walk – Illustrations of a couple strolling hand-in-hand along the water’s edge

• Shells & Starfish – Subtle nods to the natural beauty of the seaside

• Ocean Views – Watercolour waves or scenic coastal prints to evoke your beach location

Each invitation can be personalised online with your names, wedding date, and venue details—making it truly unique to your celebration. Many designs also have matching RSVP cards, guest information inserts, and even save the dates, so you can carry your theme throughout every stage of your wedding planning.

Set the Scene for a Memorable Day

A beach wedding is about more than just a beautiful backdrop—it’s a whole experience. By choosing beach-themed invitations, you help your guests anticipate the vibe of your celebration from the very beginning. It’s a subtle but powerful way to let them know what to expect—whether you’re planning a barefoot ceremony at sunset or a relaxed celebration under a beachside marquee.

And it’s not just about style. Including important details—like dress code (sensible shoes!), travel logistics, or nearby accommodation—on your invitations or guest info cards will help your day run more smoothly.

Create a Coordinated Look

At Dotty About Paper, you can find a full suite of matching stationery to bring your beach wedding theme to life. From order of service booklets to table plans, place cards, and thank-you cards, each piece can be tailored to your colour scheme and layout preferences.

Want to go a step further? Consider choosing signage that complements your invitation—like a matching welcome sign at the entrance to your ceremony or a menu displayed at each table during your reception.

Start the Celebration Early

Your wedding invitation does more than share practical details—it invites your loved ones into the joy and story of your day. For a beach wedding, that means evoking a sense of ease, elegance, and unforgettable celebration from the moment your invite lands in their letterbox.

Let Dotty About Paper help you create the perfect first impression with beautifully designed beach wedding invitations that match your unique vision.

The build-up to your wedding day is filled with excitement and planning, from choosing the perfect venue to finalising your guest list. After months—or even years—of preparation, you finally get to celebrate your love surrounded by family and friends. But once the celebrations come to an end, there’s one last important task to complete: thanking your guests.

Why Sending a Thank You Card Matters

Your wedding guests took time to be there for you—some travelled far, gave generous gifts, or helped make the day truly unforgettable. A wedding thank you card is more than a polite gesture—it’s a meaningful way to show your gratitude and let your guests know how much you appreciated their presence, support, and kindness.

What Makes a Great Wedding Thank You Card?

Your thank you card should feel personal, sincere, and reflect the style of your big day. At Dotty About Paper, we offer beautifully designed cards that match your wedding theme—so your stationery remains consistent from your first save the date right through to the final thank you.

Benefits of Wedding Thank You Cards:

• A Personal Touch: Add a heartfelt message and a favourite photo from your wedding day to make each card feel unique.

• Beautiful Keepsake: A thoughtfully written thank you card becomes a lovely memento for guests.

• Consistent Design: Coordinate your thank you cards with the same collection as your invitations, table plans, and on-the-day stationery.

• Easy to Send: Our cards are perfectly sized, come with envelopes, and are easy to personalise online.

Who Should Receive a Thank You Card?

Make sure to thank everyone who contributed to your special day:

• Guests who attended your ceremony or reception

• Anyone who sent a gift, card, or best wishes

• Friends and family who helped with planning or setup

• Suppliers or service providers who went above and beyond

Top Tips for Sending Your Wedding Thank You Cards

1. Don’t Delay

Aim to send your cards within a couple of months of your wedding while everything is still fresh in your memory. If you’ve just returned from your honeymoon, now is the perfect time to start.

2. Keep a List

Track each gift or contribution alongside the name of the giver. This will help you personalise your messages and ensure no one is left out.

3. Make It Personal

A simple, handwritten message goes a long way. Try to mention the gift specifically or include a line about a shared moment on the day.

4. Choose the Right Photo (If Including One)

Including a wedding photo on your thank you card adds an extra layer of warmth and makes the card even more memorable.
