Elements of A Good Wedding Tag
A wedding tag is one of the myriad accessories that is used for weddings. They are small pieces of paper or cardstock that are then attached to various objects to identify, label, and/or describe them. As with any important milestone events, wedding tags should be well-designed and follow the overarching wedding motif. Wedding tags are often confused as wedding labels.
Listed below are a few essential features or characteristics that should be found in a wedding tag design. Apply most of these elements into any tag design and you are guaranteed to have a compelling wedding tag. Find out what these elements are below.
1. Wedding Theme: As we have mentioned earlier, a wedding tag design should follow the official wedding motif or theme. By making sure that your wedding tag design incorporates the same theme elements, the wedding tag will not stand out amongst other wedding stationeries and decorations during the wedding ceremony or at the wedding party.
2. Layout: The wedding tag’s design layout is another characteristic that any tag design should embody. An organized tag layout helps make a wedding tag appear more readable. It also allows the designer to give equal importance to any text or graphic element used in the design. Remember, the simpler the tag layout, the more useful it will be to your wedding guests.
3. Shape: Another essential feature that helps make an excellent wedding tag design is the tag’s shape. Since most wedding tags are attached to various other objects used during a wedding, they need to stand out so that they will be read first. One way to accomplish this is to choose various shapes for wedding tag. In this article alone, we feature wedding tags that follow round and rectangular shapes. You may still choose other wedding tag shapes that you think will work for your wedding.
4. Hanging Mechanism: In order for wedding tags to easily be attached to an object, they need to have pre-punched holes for a string or tie to loop in. Or, they may have peel-off stickers, built-in clips, or other forms of attachment mechanisms. As a wedding planner, you need to think of these things to ensure that any object, decor, or accouterment can easily be identified with a wedding tag.
5. Paper Type: Lastly, wedding tags, just like gift tags, are most effective when they are printed on high-quality paper or cardstock. Choose paper that has the same texture, pattern, or color that is used in all your other wedding stationeries (just like the paper used for your wedding invitation cards). By doing this, you are helping establish the central design motif for your wedding – making the whole wedding appear more put together.
You have learned the top five elements that any wedding tag design should embody for them to become effective tag designs. Study each characteristics and begin looking into how you may apply them on your wedding stationery designs.

Simple Tips For an Excellent Wedding Tag
Designing any kind of wedding stationery needs special skill. After all, anyone planning a wedding would want to make sure that everything looks fabulous on their wedding day. That is why we are sharing a few simple tips that could help you create excellent wedding tags. These tips may also be applied to creating other kinds of wedding stationeries.
1. Details Matter: Despite their small size, well-designed wedding tags can help make a wedding appear more organized and well-planned. It gives off the impression that the couple (and their wedding planner) put every effort into making the event special and memorable. When designing your own wedding tag, make sure that they are not just blank tags with printed markings. Put a little effort into incorporating your wedding logo or adding a nice little illustration.
2. Experiment With Non-Traditional Tag Sizes: Most pre-made wedding tags follow the traditional rectangular tag size. But if you want to make your wedding to be as memorable as possible, using other shapes for your wedding tags can make the difference. You may choose round tags, scalloped wedding tags, or even other irregular geometric shapes.
3. Incorporate Other Printing Techniques: Do not limit yourself by using traditional laser or inkjet printed wedding tags. There are now modern printing and post-printing techniques that could be used to make your wedding labels and tags more attractive. For example, you may have embossed wedding tags, cut-out wedding tags, and even gold foil wedding tags. Choose a printing method that will best emphasize the tag’s congruence to your wedding theme.
4. Keep It Simple: Despite all the design tips that we have shared above, always remember that the simpler the tag design, the more effective it can be. Maintain the careful balance between a minimalist design and a gaudy one. Take a look at the downloadable examples embedded above so that you will have an idea of what may work as a simple yet visually pleasing wedding tag design.
5. Choose high-quality paper: As we have mentioned earlier, using thicker and high-quality paper can make all the difference with any wedding tag design. Doing this will help increase the perceived value and effort put into creating the wedding accessory. Also, make sure that you do not waste the use of nice paper. Combine it with an equally captivating tag design too.
