A guide to stationery, design, & printing jargon
The world of quality stationery printing comes with its fair share of industry jargon. This glossary is designed to demystify key terms, making it easier to navigate everything from premium wedding invitations and printed baby thank you cards to order of service booklets and photo gifts. Let’s dive in and simplify the journey to perfect printed stationery!

Watercolour
Watercolour is specific painting technique. It creates a uniquely impressionistic effect Although it lacks the precision of other painting methods, we absolutely love it. For this reason, watercolour designs are found throughout our website. For the most part, this takes the form of floral wreaths and motifs. There are some exceptionally gorgeous watercolour designs in our floral wedding invitation collection, as well as in our range of christening invites. Drop by and take a look!
Web2Print
What is Web2Print technology? Web2Print is what lies at the heart of Utterly Printable. It is a software driven platform which allows consumers to design and personalise products for print on our website. On our platform, users can manipulate colours, fonts, icons and photographs to deliver completely customised stationery products. And of course, once personalisation has been finished, designs can be sent for professional printing at the click of a button.
Wedding Menus
Once you’ve done all the tastings and confirmed all the details with you caterer, you need to order yourself some personalised wedding menu cards. Wedding menus are formal cards that sit on your wedding reception table. They tell your guests what that can expect to eat during your feast but can also carry details about the order of festivities and speeches.
We have a great range of personalised wedding menus on our site. Navigate over to check them out.
Wedding Order of Service
Also known as a ‘wedding program’, a wedding order of service booklet or card is used to guide your guests through your wedding ceremony. Whether you are holding a religious or humanist service, it is useful to signposts songs, readings and important moments in the ceremony. We also thing that a beautiful wedding order of service acts as a charming memento of a special day.
We offer all of our wedding order of service with multiple pages: 4-page, 8-page and 12-page, so we have you covered no matter the length of your ceremony.
Wedding Suite
Isn’t it nice when things match? To help keep a continuous style running through your wedding, we have collated many of our wedding stationery products into ‘suites’. What this means is that all the products within a suite have the same style. A full wedding suite consists of the following:
WhatsApp Invitations
As part of our efforts to be an environmentally friendly stationer, and to meet the requirements of an ever-changing World, we have developed a range of invitations designed for WhatsApp, text message and SMS. All the designs are formatted to the aspect ratio of an average smartphone screen. You can design the invitation on our website, then we provide you with a high-resolution jpeg for you to send out to you friend and family. It is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way of spreading your news.
Our WhatsApp invitation collection includes the following items:
Wording
Wording is the actual text content that ends up on your invitation or announcement. What you write depends hugely on what sort of event you’re holding, and it can be tricky to hit the right tone. Fortunately, we have put together a collection of articles to help with this very problem.
World Land Trust
Launched in 1989. World Land Trust (WLT) is a non-profit conservation charity focused on protecting endangered forests. WLT conserves existing forests by funding local NGO partners to purchase critically threatened land, and where land has been previously cleared, tree planting connects fragmented forest.
We have partnered with World Land Trust to bring Utterly Printable customers our Micro-offsetting print service. This allows customers to carbon offset the exact carbon footprint of their printed stationery.

Wreaths are paintings of floral borders that feature on many of our stationery products. For example, you can find a great collection of wedding invitations with floral wreaths here.
