Your Wedding Newspaper – All Your Questions Answered
When will my wedding newspaper be printed and delivered?
For addresses in the UK, your wedding newspapers are usually delivered within about 6-8 working days. If you order before midday, that day already counts as the first day of production.
What size will my wedding newspaper be?
We print your wedding newspaper in the generous 280 x 400 mm broadsheet format – roughly A3 size, so there’s plenty of space for all your favourite moments.
How many pages can I include in my wedding newspaper?
Your wedding newspaper can be anything from 4 to 40 pages long. Just make sure your final page count is divisible by 4.
Which programme should I use to design my wedding newspaper?
That’s entirely up to you. Our partner platform Smartpaper24 allows you to design your newspaper right in your browser. If you prefer, use the popular Canva tool with our free templates, or download our InDesign templates if you’re looking for more flexibility and customisation.
How do I pay for my wedding newspaper?
Paying is easy – simply use PayPal or your credit card.
Who usually creates the wedding newspaper?
Friends, family members and the couple themselves all create wedding newspapers. Best men, maids of honour and siblings often put one together as a surprise gift. Many couples design their own wedding announcement newspaper to share their story, send unique save-the-date cards or invitations, or thank guests after the wedding.
What should go in a wedding newspaper?
The most important thing is to make it personal and unique to the couple. Here are some classic ideas that always go down well:
- Fun facts about the bride and groom
- Interviews with parents or in-laws
- Family trees and a bit of family history
- The story of how they first met
- Hen and stag do highlights
- Romantic photo collections
- Quotes and messages of congratulations
- The A to Z of love
- A tongue-in-cheek marriage guide
When’s the best time to give the wedding newspaper?
If it’s a surprise gift from loved ones, most couples receive their newspaper on the big day itself—often right after the ceremony, during the wedding breakfast, or at the evening reception. Couples who create a wedding announcement newspaper or invitation usually send copies to guests several months before the big day. They can also share copies afterwards as a special thank-you keepsake.
What sections should a wedding newspaper have?
Popular wedding newspaper sections include:
- Front page – newspaper headline, wedding date and a main photo
- Wedding day guide – timetable, venue information and useful details for guests
- Meet the wedding party – introductions to bridesmaids, groomsmen, family and key guests
- News-style pages – reports, stories and highlights presented in a newspaper format
- Guest activities – quizzes, puzzles and games to entertain readers
- Credits and imprint – information about the people behind the newspaper
What interactive games can you include in a wedding newspaper?
Popular interactive wedding newspaper games include quizzes about the couple, wedding bingo, crossword puzzles, “Guess Who?” games using childhood photos, and challenges where guests match fun facts to friends and family.
Who gets a copy of the wedding newspaper?
You can order exactly as many copies as you need – just one for the newlyweds, a handful for close family, or a hundred for all your guests. Since every wedding newspaper is made with so much thought and effort, it’s often worth printing a few extra – and the more you order, the better the price per copy!
What’s the best paper for a wedding newspaper?
The paper you choose sets the mood. For a classic newspaper feel with light, rustling pages, go for our 60 gsm newsprint. If you’d prefer something a bit more substantial and premium, opt for 80 gsm or 90 gsm. There’s no right or wrong here – just pick what feels best for your special day.
