Quality is everything. Your wedding invitations are the first taste of your wedding for your guests – you need to know they will reflect the special and important nature of that Big Day.

It’s easy to see something pretty online and fill in the easy-to-use order form and then await the arrival of the finished cards.

But on-screen pictures do not always match in-your-hand reality; disappointment in colours, layout and quality of material are frequent and can really ruin the excitement of the whole process.

We take great care to make sure you know exactly what you are going to get before you order. Colours, materials, layouts are all agreed first – if you can’t come to us, we can post you samples and proofs.

We guarantee that when you open your stationery you will find exactly what you were hoping for – and in many cases, the real thing will far exceed your expectations.

'𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 very much indeed for all your 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤, 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐯𝐯𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 etc etc, you really were fantastic - it is quite astonishing how suddenly time just flies and you wonder why you have left it until nearer the time - 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.'

Time and again we hear the same thing from our lovely couples – ‘I wish I’d done this sooner’!

We have many years’ experience of how to organise your stationery; when to send it; what to include; how to word it. We can save days or weeks of stress and worry with a little bit of advice and information.

Each wedding is a personal mission for me, and I will do everything I can to make sure you get exactly what you want when you want it. Even if sometimes it involves a little nagging!

Writing and Sending Service

Would you like me to handwrite your invitations and send them on your behalf?

We’re always happy to take on a new challenge…

A lovely couple recently asked if I could provide a ‘sending service’ as they were overseas and needed to get the invitations out quickly.

And so, having printed the invitations, I handwrote each card and envelope with my favourite fountain pen and took them all to the post office and despatched them all safely.

Now, of course, you could have guests’ names printed on the invitations; you could have the envelopes printed with addresses, but there is also something nice and personal about a handwritten envelope landing on your doormat…

And thus a new challenge is complete and a new service is born!

ORDERS OF SERVICE

Orders of Service can be a meaningful memento of a wonderful day for all of your guests, as the one thing they can take away and keep.

Why not include a list of ‘Thank Yous’ on the back so that all of those special people who have contributed to your day get the recognition they deserve?

Small is beautiful; rather than the usual A5 booklet, why not choose the small ‘pocket sized’ version which fits so well in a jacket pocket or handbag… and let’s be honest is also seriously sweet!

Invitation Wording

Who knew that wedding invitations could be so complicated and potentially controversial??

Traditionally, the Bride’s parents paid for the wedding and therefore were the ones to do the inviting:
Mr and Mrs Brian Smith request the pleasure...

But today, it is more likely to be the case that everyone, including the couple themselves, contributes to the cost and so how to reflect that on the invitation without offending anyone? Many couples choose a variation on:

Together with their parents/families, Lucy Brown and Sam Smith would like to invite…

Every couple is unique; we have many years’ experience advising on the best wordings for whatever your particular circumstance and will be very happy to talk you through all the possibilities.

Letterpress printing is one of the traditional print methods which offer a luxurious, tactile finish to stunning wedding invitations.

An individual metal plate is created and used to print each individual card with exactly the right amount of pressure to indent the board you have chosen, leaving a crisp impression of your chosen design which cannot be achieved with normal print.

It also allows us to use heavier boards than are possible with modern methods, adding that very satisfying weight to the important envelope your guests will receive.

The wonders of the digital printing press!
Unlike with more traditional printing methods, digital print gives you almost limitless flexibility on design and colour.
Would you like the colour to match your bridesmaids’ dresses? Bring us a sample and we’ll work it out!
Unlike many online printers, who just send straight to the machine and give you what comes out, we are real people who take a great deal of time and effort to make sure what we print is exactly what you expect.
We love to work with our customers to perfect their ideal design to suit their needs and budget.
Advice is free – I love talking wedding stationery so do drop me a line if you think I can help.
