Wedding insurance providers often cover financial loss related to wedding stationery, if your wedding has to be cancelled or rearranged. Using rubber stamps to make your own invitations can be a great way to add a personal touch to your big day; however this stationery equipment should always be covered by your wedding insurance policy.

Cheap wedding insurance can seem tempting initially, but it is worth checking that the wedding insurance policy covers essential investments such as wedding stationery. In the unfortunate event that your wedding has to be cancelled or rearranged because of an insured event, your wedding insurance policy should reimburse you losses relating to stationery and printing costs already incurred.

Once you have secured wedding insurance which protects your stationery, you can use tools such as rubber stamps to make the invitation more personal.

Rubber stamps are a fun and relatively foolproof way to make your own invitations. An attractive floral border gives your invitations a professional finish, whilst amusing cartoon stamps can add a splash of humour. Whatever mood you’re trying to achieve, there should be a stamp to match it and whatever stamp you go for, it should be covered by your wedding insurance.

Wedding insurance policies may also cover personalised rubber stamps you invest in. You can get stamps made that include all of the important information you need on your invitation, from the venue, to the start time, to the name of your spouse-to-be. Because these stamps are made to order, you can often select the font, size and layout according to your personal preferences.

Not only that, but some firms will even create bespoke stamps from your own designs allowing you to mass-produce images by hand. Unlike machine printed pictures, the quality of the ink and subtle variations in colour can give a high quality, handmade feel to your invitations.

Reputable insurance providers should protect your investment in the cost of ink as well as the cost of the stamp itself. Inks have a long history; according to the Oxford Dictionary of Art, the use of inks goes back in China and Egypt to at least 2500 BC*. These days, inks come in all sorts of colours and can achieve a range of different effects for your personal invitation.

Whether you opt for an invitation that is funny and bold, or subtle and chic, your wedding insurance should protect you financially should you need to rearrange or cancel your wedding for any insured reason. With the peace of mind that this brings, you can focus on designing an invitation that helps to capture the spirit of your wedding day.
