3D Wedding - useful tips for awesome wedding prints!
This year’s wedding season is over, but that means only one thing: it’s about the right time to start planning the next one!
So if you have a wedding coming up next year – stay tuned, because we’ve got some useful tips for awesome wedding 3D prints. Whether you’re the guest, the groom, or the bride, this article is for you!
Inscriptions and letters
Mr & Mrs, Love, Bar, Wedding – these signs are the classical wedding decorations. But there are many more possibilities when you have a 3D printer!
You don’t need to rely on the retailers or rental offers. In PrusaSlicer, you can play around with the size, shape, and thickness of the letters or even add holes so you can hang them. Big letters can decorate the bar, small ones can decorate the wedding cake – just use your imagination!
If you want to create your own model of a specific typeface, all you need is to spend a few minutes in one of many freeware programs. It’s quite easy to create a model of the alphabet – check out the simple tutorial here and print letters exactly as you need. If you like a serif font similar to the one in the photo, you can use this alphabet from PrusaPrinters as well.
Wrap those printed letters with bright LED lights and your fancy decoration is ready to use!
TIP: Our Original Prusa i3 MK3S+ offers a print area of up to 25×21×21 cm, but even that doesn’t have to be the limit! We recommend you to read our The Great Guide to Gluing and Assembling 3D Prints.
Photo booth props
A photo booth should not be missing at any wedding, right? Guests will have a great time and you will end up with a lot of funny memories in your wedding album. But having a camera and a photo background is not enough – one of the key elements is the props! Heat up your 3D printer and print crowns, tiaras, glasses, mustaches, or magic wands and create a wide selection of original props for your guests. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out this collection or try creating your own models based on the theme of your wedding.
Cufflinks and bow ties
With the help of 3D printing, you can give your outfit a new twist to make sure you’re looking really dapper – there is no better occasion than your big day! For example, you can print your bow tie – whether in classic, modern, or batman style – cufflinks, lapel pins or practical collar stays.
We recommend one of our design contest winners, an Emergency Debonair Card with pop-out buttons for all the forgetful best men. You can also print a very original tie and, for ladies, an elegant piece of jewelry. Take a look at our collection and fine-tune your unique style.

Name tags and table numbering
Every wedding needs a well-managed organization and seating plan so that guests can find their way around easily. Name tags navigate you through the wedding reception, while table numbers make it easier for the staff to work throughout the day. At PrusaPrinters, you can find practical name tag stands or cute lanterns with table numbers that create a romantic atmosphere. You can also print out individual numbers or help yourself again with a 3D-printed stand and use simple numbered paper cards. Seating arrangements will be a breeze!

TIP: The stands and numbers printed from Prusament Viva La Bronze look really great!
Wedding rings box or stand
Exchanging of rings – one of the most iconic moments of the whole wedding.
Getting the rings ready for the ceremony is an important part of the preparations. You can print out this elegant round box with a magnetic closing mechanism and enough space for both rings (of course, you can adjust the size in Prusaslicer as you like ). You can use Prusament PETG Galaxy Black and add gold detail to the top of the lid or just go with the simpler version with embossing only. Once your box is ready, stuff it with a velvet cushion or fresh green moss and the result will be stunning. If this round box doesn’t fit in with the concept of your wedding, there are other options such as stands, plates, or this case.
Cake topper
Another wedding classic is a decorative cake topper. There is a large selection of generic inscriptions that you can use to decorate your cake, but if you know how to work with a basic modeling program, you can make a topper with your own name. Or you can just try this one, which we personally tested and it is one of our favorites.
It only takes 1.5 hours to print, so go for it! (Since the print will come into contact with food, we recommend printing from PLA material and using it only once). And if you know a bit about 3D modeling, why not try creating wedding figurines that look just like you (or your favorite dinosaur)!
Hanging decorations
If you’re a fan of minimalism, you might be interested in decorating your wedding with these gentle cranes that look like paper origami. Just string them on a line and let them sway in the summer breeze. Thanks to a good hole placement, they are perfectly balanced and don’t tip over. Even if it starts to rain the cranes will be just fine. This durability makes them the perfect decoration for any outdoor party. Plus you can give them to your guests after the wedding. But when it comes to hanging decorations, there are many more possibilities. How about a hanging lantern or printed diamonds? See what other decorations PrusaPrinters offers.
Stamps and seals
It’s not uncommon for the “bride and groom to be“ to create their own wedding logo with the date and their joint name. This logo is usually put on invitations, thank-you cards, various signs, and notes. If you’re thinking about using your own logo, try making your own stamp or seal using your 3D printer. You can take inspiration from our earlier article on flexible filament printing, but if you’re planning more detailed graphics, it’s best to have a specialist company make the plate (the rubber part of the stamp designed to transfer the ink from the ink pad to paper).
It costs around 8 USD and the self-adhesive plate can be glued onto a 3D printed handle, which according to Prusa’s calculator will cost you only 0,45 USD. And voilà, your wedding stamp is ready!
It is just slightly more difficult to make your own seal – you will need a resin printer for detailed printing and basic knowledge of modeling programs.
However, your custom-sealed envelopes will undoubtedly be amazing!
Wedding gifts
If you don’t have to worry about preparations since you are just a wedding guest, 3D printing gives you the opportunity for a great wedding gift. The most practical gift is, of course, money or vouchers, but it would be a shame to just hand them over in an envelope.
How about trying a funny toaster for the newlyweds or cryptex with a secret password? Try writing a little hint for the bride and groom in the greeting card and you will see that your gift will definitely not be forgotten. At PrusaPrinters you can find a large selection of gift boxes or special containers, which you can only get into if you can decipher the riddle! Check out the collection of ideas here.

Invitations
When you are designing a wedding invitation you have a lot of options.
You must pick the right material, theme and design. Some people prefer playfulness, others prefer elegance. If you want to be able to customize your invitation to the smallest details and you want to be original, we’re sure you won’t go wrong with 3D printing. If you don’t know where to start, you can always take a look at Pinterest.
Napkin rings
Does your wedding have a theme or a color palette? Find the right Prusament color and print the rings for napkins or the lunch menu roll. Guests will definitely notice all the little matching details.
Gifts for guests
There is a good chance that most of your guests are not familiar with 3D printing technology and will be really impressed by small 3D printed gifts. Just choose a few models on PrusaPrinters and print one trifle for everyone. How about these print-in-place alpacas with moving legs? No probllama!
Happy printing and happy wedding!
First 3D printed wedding
Not so long ago, I decided it was time to start a family.
Of course, this happened only thanks to a fateful meeting with a girl whom he loved with all his heart. I can write a lot about the fact that the wedding changed my life for the better, about how the date we chose accidentally fell on the “red hill”, but this is not the point now…
HOW did I use 3D printing on my wedding?
It all started when my (at the time) fiancee and I decided to create and use our own logo on invitations and nameplates on tables. Creating it turned out to be quite simple thanks to the designer, whom we easily found on the freelance site. Many people know that I work in one of the 3D printer manufacturing companies, so the thought immediately arose: “Let's make this logo 3D and print something on a 3D printer!”. Despite the fact that I have a lot of 3D printers in my office, the company does not print, and I am focused on other tasks, so I ordered printing from one of the partners who has a 3D printing service.
Inspired by the idea of a 3D wedding, we did not yet understand what we wanted to get in the end, but the idea itself seemed quite interesting. After meeting with a decorator and having a long conversation about how to decorate the hall, my fiancee and I found a use for a 3D printer!
What did we decide to print?
The first thing we did was the Eiffel Tower. It may seem banal, but it was at its foot that I made proposals to my future wife, for us this tower has become a symbol of our future union.
Secondly, we printed something that is present at every wedding - a box for envelopes. In our case, for postcards with wishes. The size of the chest allowed guests to put Euro-format postcards with wishes inside, which we have saved and sometimes re-read with pleasure.
The next thought came from a conversation with a decorator about decorating table napkins with a beautiful brooch.
“Why buy something if you can make something unique yourself,” I thought, and we decided to use 3D printed models when decorating tables. We brought ideas to life!
I ordered 40 medals to be printed. This is exactly what was needed to decorate the place of each of the guests.
Photo of the original model - it was easy to give volume to the vector "flat" logo. Two letters B and M (Vlad and Marina) in a neat oval and nothing more.
This is how it became more clear what the future product will look like.
And finally, I have the finished product in my hands! Hooray! Ready!
Having received all the 'medals', we decided to give them one of the colors of our wedding. Since we did all the decoration in blue and gold tones, we chose gold for the medals.
It was not difficult to buy a can of paint, but it was even easier to paint.
.. My beloved wife painted it herself... She did not spare the paint))
After painting, it was necessary to make it so that it would be convenient to tie the napkin. The usual tape from the store for decoration and glue moment were very useful to us.
Well, the photo of the result.
It turned out really very stylish. The color theme of the wedding was sustained. Aesthetics and exclusivity - on the face! And most importantly - most of the girls and women at the wedding, having removed the medals from the napkins and tied them on their hands. It was nice.
Do you think we stopped there?
Of course, all of the above was not enough for us. We decided to decorate the bride's bouquet and the groom's boutonniere with our branded 'medal'. Everything turned out to be very simple and, it seems to me, very beautiful!
For this, medals were needed a little smaller than for table decor - and this is understandable.
We also painted them in gold color - we must also withstand the general style.
Having done this, we were again puzzled by the question: what else can we think of?... And we found the answer to our question.
It's not a secret for anyone that usually two bottles of champagne are placed on the table, which are traditionally drunk on the wedding anniversary and on the birth of the first child. It is customary to decorate these bottles somehow. We visited several stores and searched the entire Internet in search of jewelry that we would like ... But we did not find it ... In the end, we made it ourselves! These bottles fit perfectly into the home interior and are waiting for their time to come. By the way, my wife decorated it herself, on the night before the wedding itself.
Another of the wedding traditions is the kindling of the family hearth. Again, candles are usually decorated in some way... This time we decided to use our branding too! And again, thanks to my beloved wife - if not for her - we would not have such candles!
And it's all?
It may seem that very little was done.
.. However, all this gave us a lot of positive emotions both in preparation, on the wedding day, and for several months after - because we continue to admire the preserved handicrafts. And it is especially pleasant that most of everything is made with my own hands, mine and my beloved wife.

Oxfordshire. These 3D printed miniatures were created by the couple's friend and tech expert Stephen Day and used as a decoration on the top of the wedding cake. To achieve an unrivaled likeness, the Augusthorps stood on a rotating platter and were scanned using a homemade scanner that uses the same technology as the Xbox Kinect. Scanning took only 20 seconds. The resulting data was used to print miniature copies of the pair on an Ultimaker 3D printer. It took about two hours to work at a resolution of 0.
1 mm. After the printing was completed, the figurines were placed on top of the cake and became the main topic of conversation at the wedding reception, which was held at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
According to the Oxford Mail, Mr and Mrs Osgathorpe married at St Peter's Church in Cassington after five years of dating and have four children together. Mrs. Osgatorpe thought the resemblance was incredible: “It was great. When guests saw the figurines on the cake, they said, “Oh my God, is that really you?” They recognized us immediately."
Mr. Day, maker of 3D printed wedding cake figurines, was reportedly pleased with his creations and their popularity at a friends wedding: “They caused quite a stir. I think many have never seen anything like this before ... There is interest in 3D printed figures. After creating copies of friends and their children, other people began to contact me with a request to make their miniature figurines. Creating miniature 3D printed copies is new.
There aren't many places in the world where you can order them."
