Making a Name For Yourself in Personalised Wedding Stationery

Can you introduce yourself and the work your company does in print?

I’m Grace, the proud owner of Print On Me. I’m 32 and mother of two little girls Bella aged seven, and Lily who is one years old. Print On Me specialises in bespoke personalised wedding stationery and signage, working directly with couples to design and print stationery to match their personalities and wedding day requirements.

How has the business evolved since it was set up?

The business idea coincided with Covid-19, so we initially diversified into vinyl personalisation. As weddings returned, we transitioned that skill into gifts and invested in a Platinum 9060 UV printer for bespoke Foamex signage.

To close the loop on the stationery side, we added a Xerox Versant 180, Epson SureColour printer, and a Titanium 0604 digital cutter, allowing us to offer high-end print and precision cutting in-house.

What has it been like entering the world of print and personalisation?

We’ve grown by taking small steps initially to gain confidence and knowledge of the market and the requirements of our target couples. We now bring new ideas to our couples and print an ever-growing range of products. Each order is bespoke, so we never grow tired of the range we offer. All our weddings and couples are individually worked with so we have no mass-produced products.

What differences do you see in providing products for weddings compared to other print or stationery type businesses?

Unlike commercial print, wedding stationery is deeply emotional. We aren't just printing paper; we’re creating the first glimpse a guest has into the couple's biggest life event. It’s a high-pressure and high-reward environment where we pivot between invitation seasons and signage seasons, always remaining customer-led rather than stock-led.

What support and knowledge have you gained from your family along the way?

We are very much a family business, and I feel incredibly lucky to have that foundation. My father brings over 40 years of experience in the print industry – his deep technical knowledge and his extensive network of both UK and international contacts have been invaluable in helping us source the best equipment and materials.

My mother also works very closely with me on the design and stationery production side. Together, we’ve combined my parents' decades of industry wisdom with new digital techniques, allowing us to constantly learn and develop our skills.

How did it feel winning Welsh Stationery Company of the Year at the Welsh National Wedding Awards?

Winning was a total whirlwind! Being voted for by our actual customers made it so much more meaningful. In such a competitive market, knowing our couples took the time to support us was the ultimate validation that we’re doing something right.

What changes are you seeing or expect to see when it comes to printed wedding products?

More QR code products in which couples are using websites to collate RSVP and menu options. Luckily for us invitations, menus, and signage are all big wedding vibe items.

Do you have anything else to add, or any advice for someone to start a career in print?

Be proactive getting started doesn’t happen overnight. Choose your equipment carefully it’s a big investment – ask questions and don’t be afraid to ask for advice. Finally, surround yourself with likeminded people.
