What Are Die Cut Wedding Details? Everything You Need to Know
Die cut wedding details are one of the easiest ways to bring personality into a celebration. A die cut is simply a custom shape cut out of paper, which feels far more fun than a standard card. These shapes can be created with a metal die that works like a large hole punch or with a machine that uses a precise blade. The results are always unique and instantly memorable.
Menus That Stand Out
Menus are one of my favorite ways to use die cuts. A strawberry-shaped menu can set a cheerful tone at each place setting. Guests love the unexpected detail and often pick them up, smile, and snap photos before they even read what is being served. For coastal weddings, these oyster shell-shaped menu feels right at home with beach-inspired décor and instantly ties the design to the location. These are the small touches that elevate a table and make the experience feel more intentional.
Escort Cards and Place Settings
Escort cards and place settings also shine when done with die cuts. I once designed watercolor peaches that doubled as drink markers on glasses. They were not only functional but also playful, and they carried the summer theme through the entire reception. For fall, pomegranate-shaped accents tied invitation suites and escort cards together with rich seasonal color. Guests notice when every detail feels connected, and it creates a seamless flow from start to finish.
Why Die Cut Details Work
Die cut details stand out because they invite guests to interact with them. They are fun to hold, beautiful to photograph, and they bring a tactile element to your wedding design. They also give you endless opportunities to weave in meaningful shapes, whether you love fruit, shells, or florals!
