Teardrop Shaped Paper Clips (50 Pack)

Every detail of a wedding invitation suite tells a story — from the weight of the paper to the colour of the ink. Teardrop paper clips are one of those subtle, considered finishing touches that elevate handmade stationery from beautiful to unforgettable. Designed to hold invitation inserts together with elegance, these decorative paper clips add a tactile, jewellery-like quality to your wedding stationery that guests notice the moment they open the envelope.

Our Teardrop Paper Clips are available in gold, rose gold, silver, and black, and come in packs of 50 — enough to outfit a full suite of invitations with a consistent, polished look. Whether you are assembling invitations yourself or coordinating with a stationer, these wedding paper clips offer a simple way to introduce texture, colour, and intention into your finished pieces.

What Are Teardrop Paper Clips?

Teardrop paper clips take the familiar form of a standard paperclip and refine it into something far more intentional. The wire is shaped into a smooth, elongated teardrop — a silhouette that feels organic and elegant rather than utilitarian. The result is a decorative paperclip that functions exactly as you would expect while looking like a piece of jewellery sitting atop your stationery.

Each clip is made from plated metal wire with a smooth, scratch-resistant finish. The teardrop shape is compact enough to sit neatly on a standard A5 or DL invitation insert without overwhelming the design, yet distinctive enough to catch the eye. Unlike bulkier embellishments, teardrop paper clips lie flat inside an envelope, which means they will not add unnecessary bulk or affect postage weight in most cases.

The design intent behind the teardrop shape is versatility. It pairs naturally with a wide range of wedding stationery accessories and aesthetic directions — from minimalist modern to romantic and organic. The clean lines suit architectural invitation suites, while the curved form feels equally at home alongside hand-torn edges and botanical prints.

How to Style Teardrop Paper Clips on Wedding Stationery

The most common use for decorative paper clips in wedding stationery is to attach secondary cards to the main invitation. Think RSVP cards, details cards, maps, accommodation inserts, or menu selections. Rather than leaving these loose inside the envelope — where they can shift, fold, or fall out — a single teardrop paperclip holds everything together in a neat, deliberate stack.

Clipping inserts to the main invitation: Slide the teardrop paperclip over the top edge of your details card or RSVP card, attaching it directly to the main invitation. Position the clip slightly off-centre for a styled, editorial look, or centre it for a more formal presentation.

Securing belly bands: If you are using a belly band to wrap your suite, a teardrop paperclip can sit on top of the band as a decorative accent, or clip through it to hold a single insert card against the front of the invitation.

Attaching tags or favour cards: Teardrop paper clips are not limited to invitations. Use them to attach thank-you tags to wedding favours, clip place cards to napkins at the reception, or hold menus to charger plates. Their refined shape makes them suitable for any touchpoint where you want consistency across your wedding stationery.

Layering with other textures: For a truly considered suite, layer your teardrop paperclip alongside complementary elements — a wax seal on the envelope flap, a ribbon wrap around the suite, and a clip holding the inserts. Each layer adds depth without clutter.

Choosing Your Colour

The colour of your wedding paper clips should work with the broader palette of your stationery suite. Our teardrop paper clips are available in four finishes, each suited to different aesthetic directions.

Gold is the most popular choice for wedding stationery accessories and works across a wide range of styles. It pairs naturally with warm-toned papers, gold foil printing, and classic colour palettes. Gold teardrop paper clips suit heritage venues, autumn weddings, and any suite that leans towards timeless sophistication.

Rose gold offers a softer warmth that sits beautifully alongside blush, dusty pink, mauve, and sage green palettes. It is a strong choice for romantic and garden-inspired suites, and coordinates well with rose gold wax seals and foil details.

Silver is the natural partner for cool-toned stationery — think white, grey, navy, and ice blue. Silver teardrop paper clips suit modern minimalist designs, winter weddings, and any suite printed with silver foil or letterpress in cool ink shades.

Black makes a bold, contemporary statement. It is ideal for monochromatic suites, moody editorial palettes, and designs with strong graphic elements. Black decorative paper clips disappear into dark-coloured card stock or stand out sharply against white and cream — both effects are equally striking.

If you are unsure which finish to select, match your paperclip colour to the metallic elements already present in your suite. If your envelope is sealed with a gold wax seal, gold teardrop paper clips will create a cohesive look without requiring any additional planning.

Teardrop Paper Clips vs Other Decorative Paper Clip Styles

Teardrop paper clips are one of several decorative paperclip shapes our team offers for wedding stationery finishing. The shape you choose comes down to the overall aesthetic you are working towards.

Teardrop paper clips are the most versatile option. Their organic, elongated shape works across nearly every wedding style, from contemporary to classic. They are understated enough for minimalist suites and refined enough for elaborate ones. If you are unsure which shape to choose, teardrop is the safest starting point.

Heart paper clips are an overtly romantic choice that leans into the sentimental nature of wedding stationery. The heart shape is immediately recognisable and adds a playful, love-themed detail. They work particularly well for engagement party invitations, bridal shower stationery, and suites with a whimsical or illustrative design direction.

Cross paper clips offer a more geometric, structured silhouette. Their angular form suits architectural stationery designs, modern typography-driven suites, and couples who prefer clean lines over curves. Cross clips also work well for religious ceremony stationery where the shape carries additional meaning.

All three styles are available in the same four colour finishes, so you can mix shapes across different elements of your wedding if desired — for example, teardrop paper clips on your main invitations and heart paper clips on your bridal shower suite.

Pair With Your Invitation Suite

Teardrop paper clips are at their best when they form part of a cohesive stationery suite where every element has been considered. Our team has curated a range of invitation accessories designed to work together, giving you the tools to build a suite that feels complete and intentional.

A custom embossing stamp adds a tactile, debossed monogram or motif to your invitation — an elegant detail that catches the light and invites touch. Pair it with a teardrop paperclip in a matching metallic finish for a layered, multi-textural suite.

For envelope finishing, a custom wax seal stamp creates a striking first impression when your guests receive their invitation. A gold wax seal on the envelope flap, paired with a gold teardrop paperclip inside holding the inserts, creates a sense of continuity from exterior to interior.

Wrap your suite with sheer raw-edge chiffon ribbon for a soft, textural layer that photographs beautifully in flat lays. The raw edge of the ribbon contrasts with the precise metallic finish of the paperclip, creating visual interest through material contrast.

Use a blank belly band to hold your suite together inside the envelope, then clip a details card to the front with a teardrop paperclip for an immediately visible, structured presentation.

Finally, line your envelopes with a custom envelope liner to complete the experience. When a guest opens their envelope to find a printed liner, a ribbon-wrapped suite, a wax-sealed flap, and inserts held together with a decorative paperclip, every element tells them that this occasion matters — and so do they.
