What are some LGBT wedding cards and stationery ideas?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12 · For guests

Short answer

You can use any stationery you like, with colours, symbols or wording that reflect your identity and relationship. There is no required design for a same-sex wedding in the UK.

Many couples choose designs that celebrate who they are without relying on old-fashioned labels. You might pick a palette that feels like you, from soft pastels to bold, bright colours. Symbols such as pride flags, interlocking rings or custom monograms are popular, but they are entirely optional.

For wording, you can avoid terms like bride and groom if they do not fit. Try partner names, titles you both love, or neutral roles like hosts. Your wedding website and e-invites can carry the same message and collect RSVPs for every event.

Consider these options:

  • cards with a shared surname or no surname at all
  • wording that names both families clearly
  • inclusive language for guests who may not know your terms
  • a small pride detail on the envelope or seal

If you want printed items, invitations, thank-you cards, welcome boards, table plans and order of service booklets can all carry the same design. Keep the tone warm and clear so every guest knows how to join you.
