Who usually creates wedding newspapers?
The couple, friends, family members and members of the wedding party can all get involved. Best men, maids of honour and siblings often make one as a surprise, while couples can design their own wedding newspaper for invitations, announcements or as part of their wedding day.
What should I include in a wedding newspaper?
Make it personal to the couple and their love story. Ideas include:
- Fun facts about the couple
- Interviews with parents or loved ones
- The story of how they first met
- Highlights from their relationship
- Hen and stag do memories
- Favourite photos
- Personal messages and congratulations
- An A to Z of their love story
- A light-hearted marriage guide
When should wedding newspapers be given to guests?
For a surprise, they can be handed out after the wedding ceremony, during the wedding breakfast or at the reception. Couples using them as invitations can send them before the wedding, while copies given afterwards can make a memorable thank-you keepsake.
What sections can I include for the wedding day?
Popular wedding newspaper sections include:

- A wedding day guide with the timetable and venue details
- A wedding party section introducing bridesmaids, groomsmen and family
- News-style stories about the couple
- Quizzes, games and a crossword puzzle
- Credits and special thanks
What fun extras can I add?
Add fun extras such as wedding bingo, quizzes, a crossword puzzle or a “Guess Who?” game. You could also include a QR code linking to the couple's wedding website, photo gallery or other useful information for guests.
Can I include a welcome note?
Yes. A short welcome note from the couple is a great way to introduce the newspaper, thank guests for coming and set the tone for the wedding day.
How many copies should I order?
There's no need to order more than you need. Choose a single copy as a keepsake, several for close family or enough for all your guests. Larger quantities can also reduce the price per copy.
What paper options are available?
Choose 60 g/m2 newsprint for a classic newspaper feel or 80 g/m2 or 90 g/m2 for something heavier and brighter. The best option depends on your wedding newspaper design and how image-heavy your pages are.
