Let me start with a statement: I LOVE wedding maps. Ok, let me correct that- I love any map. Ever since I was little, I have been obsessed with maps. Perhaps it’s a combination of my love of nature and travel. For weddings, there is also the element of shared experience- you can show your guests where you are getting married- whether it’s a beach, a lone island, or a busy city. You can show them pieces of your shared history (where you got engaged, where he or she proposed, and where you like to hang out). You can even showcase some tourist spots (great for city weddings). The opportunities are endless!
What can you use your wedding map for?
Wedding Map Inserts & Save the Dates
You can include an insert card in your invitation suite that showcases the map. This is a fun little surprise for the guests- besides the traditional invitation and the rsvp card, they receive a visual representation of where you are getting married, the city or the beach they can explore, and maybe some cool tidbits (where you live or hang out, or your favorite restaurant).
Wedding Maps Envelope Liners
A wedding map envelope liner is a great way to impress your guests as soon as they open the envelope. These envelopes will be the only envelopes your guests will keep- with a little map featuring the details of your wedding.
Display Your Wedding Map
There is no limit to what you can do with a wedding map! You can display an oversized map print at your wedding as a part of your decor. You can frame it and use it a guestbook. You can use your map in your other wedding stationery, on welcome bags, as gifts,…sky is the limit. I am always overflowing with ideas, so if you have something in mind, I am sure that we can create something great and unique together!
Welcome Bag Inserts
Welcome bag inserts are one of the most popular map requests! You can do a fun map on one side and a wedding day schedule of events on the other…this makes the piece super practical, while guests are also left with a mini art piece that they can keep and frame once the wedding is over.
Pricing
Typically, custom map design starts at $250 and ranges depending on the size and level of detail + printing costs. I am happy to recommend the size and paper based on your budget.
