Choosing your style

Various factors will dictate the look and feel of your invitation.
– Size and shape – single or folded
– Colour and texture of card
– Printing method
– Colour of ink(s)
– Possibly a motif – such as a monogram. This can then be used on all the stationery and possibly other items. This can make a real impact on the style of your wedding.

Traditional invitations with distinctive copperplate script look elegant and timeless but you may want a more contemporary or even a quirky look.

You may have a theme eg vintage or modern – or a particular colour that you wish to carry through all aspects of your wedding.

Invitations can be simple or elaborate depending on the look you want to achieve – we can include blind embossing, gilt edges, lined envelopes, tissue wraps, ribbons – the possibilities are endless. We could even include an illustration of your venue or church.
