When we first started creating wedding newspapers waaaay back in 2021, it quickly became obvious to us they were never going to be the sort of thing that just sat quietly on a ceremony chair waiting to be read. We believed in them instantly and the reaction from our own wedding, we knew we had something special!
They get picked up, passed around, tucked under arms, photographed, folded, re-read and taken home, and they become part of the movement of the day rather than just another detail. A wedding day staple and your very own piece of wedding history.
With the wedding newspapers perfectly solidified as a 'must' for the big day, our minds started to wander about how we could elevate those and what more we could do to add to the experience...
'What about a cute little personalised tote bag'
...and that was that!
INTRODUCING: 'The 'Special Delivery' tote
We wanted something that felt like it belonged with the newspapers from the very start, not something practical that was added on as an afterthought. The tote is personalised to match your wedding newspaper title, so it ties in naturally with the rest of your stationery and feels like part of the story you’re telling rather than a separate extra.
It’s made from sturdy canvas with a long, adjustable black strap, which means it works for everyone involved. From the littlest helpers who take their delivery duties very seriously, to bridesmaids, groomsmen or parents making sure everyone gets a copy without dropping half the stack on the way. It fits all sizes of our wedding newspapers comfortably, sheer perfection if we do say so ourselves!
Once the confetti has fallen and the last 'cheers' has rung out... you're left with something especially sentimental. Every time you pick it up you get that little reminder of the day, but in a way that feels easy and everyday rather than something that lives tucked away in a memory box.
It’s the bag you grab for your Friday night date night food shop in Sainsbury’s, for nipping out for bits, or for carrying far more than you intended to. And when someone inevitably does a little double take at your tote as you’re walking down the street, you can casually say,
“Oh this old thing? It’s from my wedding,”
...and enjoy that quiet moment of yes, I’m married now.
The ‘Special Delivery’ Tote was never about adding something extra for the sake of it. It was about giving your wedding newspapers a place that felt considered, intentional, and part of real life after the wedding too.
