Wedding Stationery Shapes
A Guide to the Modern Stationery Trend
If you’ve been following wedding stationery trends for the last few years, you’ve probably noticed that it’s no longer just about the design or colours; shapes have entered the chat and made themselves a major part of the overall look.
From soft arches to playful scallops, modern stationery is moving beyond the traditional and into more expressive formats. The right shape can instantly elevate your stationery and make a simple design feel more considered.
Here is a breakdown of the most popular stationery shapes right now, and how to choose the right one for your wedding style.

“How do I actually achieve shaped wedding stationery?”
If you love the look of arches, ovals, or wave edges, there are two ways to achieve this depending on your budget and how hands-on you want to be; professional die cutting at a print shop or DIY with a cutting machine at home (like Cricut).
Professional Die Cutting
We recommend Peterkin Printery, they offer die cutting services where your stationery is cut into custom shapes using professional machinery, kind of like a giant hole punch. They have order minimums, so chat to them about the process before ordering.
How it works:
Finalise your design in the correct size
Choose your paper stock
Select a die shape or organise a custom die
Submit your file for printing and cutting
Things to know:
You may need to allow for a setup cost if creating a custom shape
Turnaround times are longer than standard printing
This option is best if you want a high-end finish without the trial and error.
DIY Cutting on Cricut
If you are more hands-on, you can create shaped stationery yourself using a cutting machine like a Cricut.
How it works:
Design your stationery in Canva using one of my templates
Use the standard process for your machine for ‘print and cut’
Print professionally or at home
Use the machine to cut out the final design
Things to keep in mind:
Alignment between print and cut needs to be tested, I recommend the print and cut method for perfect alignment
Results can vary depending on your machine and settings
That said, once you get the hang of it, it can be a great way to create custom shapes at home.
