Santorini does not have a deep pool of stationery presses of its own, and that is fine. Almost every couple commissions their suite before they travel, from a destination savvy studio that knows how to evoke the island in paper.
What the island does demand is the on the day paper, the welcome notes, menus, place cards and signage that greet your guests when they arrive. That is often produced at home and carried out, or printed locally through your planner.
Plan postage and timing carefully for a wedding abroad, brief the look on the actual venue, and let the welcome details do the work of setting the scene the moment guests land.
For a Santorini wedding, stationery is usually commissioned in advance from a studio that specialises in destination suites rather than bought on the island. Studios known for Greek island work include Cartalia, which creates bespoke hand drawn Santorini suites, Momental Designs, known for watercolour Santorini invitations, and À La Carte Paperie, which offers coordinated Santorini sets from save the dates to menus. Order early, plan international postage, and keep the on the day pieces light enough to travel.
Real studios with published Santorini and Greek island work. None is based on the island, which is honest and normal for a destination wedding. The order is our read, not a paid placement.
Hand drawn Santorini, bespoke.
A studio offering bespoke hand drawn Santorini and Greece wedding invitations, printed or foiled, with a personalised proof and complimentary rounds of amendments. Best for couples who want an illustrative suite that captures the caldera and the whitewashed lanes.
Painterly Santorini in colour.
A studio known for watercolour Santorini and Greek destination invitations and matching save the dates. Best for couples who want a soft, painted island look, with the blue domes and sea rendered in washes rather than line drawing.
A full island themed set.
A studio offering Santorini destination invitation sets with matching thank you cards, menus and programmes so the theme carries across the day. Best for couples who want one coordinated look from the first save the date to the on the day pieces.
Order from a studio that ships to your home, where you can proof and post the suite at leisure. There is no reliable bespoke press to rely on once you are on the island, so do this work in advance.
Guests to a destination wedding book flights and rooms months ahead. Send save the dates well before you would for a wedding at home, with the dates and the island clear, so people can plan and budget.
A destination suite earns its keep with a details card or wedding website covering the airport, ferries, transfers, dress code and the heat. It saves you answering the same questions one guest at a time.
Welcome notes, menus, place cards and signage usually travel out in a suitcase or print locally through your planner. Keep them light and unbreakable, and let your planner handle anything bulky on the island.
A Santorini suite is priced like any bespoke or semi custom stationery, by quantity, print method and how much is original artwork, reviewed October 2025. A semi custom island design is the most economical route, while fully bespoke hand drawn artwork with foil sits above it.
For a destination wedding, add international postage to guests, any customs handling, and the on the day pieces printed at home or locally. Ask for a quote against your guest count and the full list of pieces, including the welcome and signage, before you compare studios.
Figures are indicative and reviewed October 2025. They move with quantity, print method and postage. Confirm fees and inclusions directly with each studio.

A Santorini planner can print and place the on the day paper, and handle anything too bulky to carry. Use our Get Matched form to reach planners who manage the welcome and signage on the island.
A stylist carries the palette from the invitation to the table. Browse our wedding stylists in Santorini for studios who tie the paper, the flowers and the setting into one island look.
A flat lay of the suite against the caldera is a lovely opener to the album. See our wedding photographers in Santorini for image makers who shoot the details with care.
There is no deep pool of bespoke presses on the island, so most couples commission their suite in advance from a destination savvy studio and have it shipped home. Your planner can print and place on the day pieces locally.
Studios with published Greek island work include Cartalia for hand drawn bespoke suites, Momental Designs for watercolour invitations, and À La Carte Paperie for coordinated sets. Each ships to your home for you to proof and post.
Earlier than for a wedding at home, since guests must book flights and rooms. Many couples send save the dates around a year ahead so people can plan travel and budget for the trip.
Welcome notes, an order of the day, menus, place cards and signage. Keep them light to travel, or have your planner print and place them on the island so you are not carrying fragile pieces.
Yes. A details card or wedding website covering the airport, transfers, dress code and the heat answers the questions guests would otherwise ask one by one, and is a kindness for a wedding abroad.
