These invitations are fairly unique. With holes punched through the cards and ribbon or twine to tie everything neatly together, there is less chance of additional cards going missing. There is plenty of space to add all the information you need to send out to your guests. You choose how many cards are included and which information to put where. They are fully customisable. We want you to be excited to send them out to your guests and for your guests to be delighted to receive them. Designs can be tweaked so that they are perfect no matter what time of year you are getting married. Envelope liners & personalised stickers give them another personal touch. We are careful to select only the best quality card so that we can create something for you and your guests to hold and cherish forever. We can create the rest of your stationery to match your chosen design too.

Choose how many cards you’d like to have in your pack. The invitation and up to two cards will show as in the photos. Additional cards can be tied behind the smaller cards or invitation. You can opt to have printing on the back of any of the cards.
Read on for a full explanation of every aspect of these invitations and how to order.

CAN I MAKE CHANGES?
The answer is YES! The one question we are asked on a daily basis is “Can we change the text/font/layout etc?”. We fully customise everything so if you’d prefer to word your invitations differently from those pictured, just tell us when placing your order. Our photographs show just one example. Perhaps you’d prefer invitations for some other event? No problem, they are fully customisable. Need the colour or design tweaking? Just let us know when ordering. Like the style but would prefer a completely different design or have a design of your own? No problem, please either order our Custom Design or you can simply add a note to this one. If you’ve seen a product elsewhere on our website with a design you like, please just add a note to your order and we’ll create a hole-punched invitation set to match.

VARIATIONS EXPLAINED
CARD COLOUR:  After lots of trial and error, we have selected 3 top quality card types for you to choose from. Smooth White 330gsm card is a lovely clean white colour and our most popular choice. Our Smooth Ivory 330gsm card is less bright and a good alternative if you’re not so keen on white. Finally, our Premium Cream 350gsm card is noticeably thicker and has a gorgeous, very light texture. It’s pale creamy colour is our favourite and really takes invitations to another level.

INVITE SIZE:  Available as a full-sized A5 invite with additional A6 cards or as a Mini Invitation set where the invitation is A6 and the additional cards are A7.  Please see the Sizing tab for full details of the sizes.

CORNER OPTIONS: Either leave the corners of your cards square or have us round them off for you.

DAY OR EVENING: Each variation (day, eve, different language, different timings etc) must be ordered separately and is subject to the minimum order quantity.

INVITE ONLY: This is the invitation card on its own, without any additional cards. We still punch the holes and provide your choice of ribbon or twine. You can also opt to have printing on the back of the card. If you would like an invitation card on its own, without any holes punched, ribbon, or twine, please use our Standard Wedding Invitation listings.

INVITE + 1 CARD: You will receive a personalised A5 invitation card and one A6 card of your choice (RSVP/Menu/Info/Gift Msg etc). They are fully customised for you. You will receive a digital proof so that you can check that you are completely happy with the design and can make any amendments before we send them to print. Unless you have opted for bow tying, your cards will arrive in stacks with holes punched and ribbon/twine cut to size ready for you to assemble yourself.

INVITE + 2 CARDS (as in main photograph):  You will receive a personalised A5 invitation card and two A6 cards of your choice (RSVP/Menu/Info/Gift Msg etc). They are fully customised for you. You will receive a digital proof so that you can check that you are completely happy with the design and can make any amendments before we send them to print. Unless you have opted for bow tying, your cards will arrive in stacks with holes punched and ribbon/twine cut to size ready for you to assemble yourself.

INVITE + 3 CARDS:  You will receive a personalised A5 invitation card and three A6 cards of your choice (RSVP/Menu/Info/Gift Msg etc). They are fully customised for you. You will receive a digital proof so that you can check that you are completely happy with the design and can make any amendments before we send them to print. Unless you have opted for bow tying, your cards will arrive in stacks with holes punched and ribbon/twine cut to size ready for you to assemble yourself.

ADDITIONAL LARGE CARD
If you have a lot of information to share with your guests, you can opt to have another card, the same size as the invitation card. This would be tied behind the invitation card.

PERSONALISED GUEST NAMES
To keep things really neat and save time, you can opt to have us print the individual guest names on all your invitations. We must be able to copy and paste a list of names. The names for each invitation must be typed on a separate line exactly as you would like them written and without any preceding numbers or symbols. Please request instructions from us if you are unsure.

RIBBON COLOUR: Choose whether you’d like to have ribbon or twine with your invitations. We have an extensive range of colours to choose from.

PRINTING ON BACK OF CARDS
If you have a lot of information, you can choose to have it printed onto the back of the invitation or one of your additional cards. This is great for an RSVP card with menu options on one side and RSVP information on the other.

BOW TYING
If you opt to have us tie the bows for you, we may need to tweak the design in order to leave enough space for you to be able to write in guest names. It is advisable to either have guest names printed onto the invitations or to consider wording them in such a way that names are not required (e.g. You’re Invited). You can always write the guest names onto the envelopes instead.

ENVELOPE OPTIONS
ENVELOPE COLOUR:  Kraft brown envelopes are included as standard. Other colours are available for a small surcharge. Just click on the colour you would like. We’ve searched for a long time to find the best quality envelopes at affordable prices and are really happy with what we now stock. If you do need a different colour, let us know and we’ll see what we can find.

ADDRESSED INVITATION ENVELOPES:  To keep things neat and save time, you can have us print all your guests’ names & addresses onto the invitation envelopes for you. We will need a spreadsheet from you with the information for each envelope on a single row and each line on that envelope in a separate column. Please ask us for instructions and/or a blank template to fill in.

ENVELOPE LINER:  They come either pre-cut & creased, ready for you to stick in yourself, or fully assembled where we do the hard work and stick each one in for you. We create them to match your chosen design but if you’d prefer a different design to compliment your invitations, add a note to your order. Browse our other envelope liners for ideas. They are sized to fit our v-flap envelopes (kraft brown, gold, silver C6, and Olive Green). They are not available for our white peal & seal envelopes. If you have selected Premium Cream card, the liners will be on ivory unless you specifically request to have white.

MATCHING STICKER TO SEAL YOUR ENVELOPE: A matching sticker for your envelopes gives a hint of what’s to come. Choose from matt heart stickers, or round matt, gloss, or transparent stickers. You choose what goes on the sticker. If you’d like to order extra stickers, you can order additional stickers here.

RSVP OPTIONS
RSVP ENVELOPE: RSVP envelopes come in two sizes to match the additional cards. Full sized invitations with A6 additional cards come with C6 RSVP envelopes. These can be personalised for you. Mini invitations with small A7 additional cards come with C7 RSVP envelopes. Mini C7 envelopes cannot be personalised as they are too small to fit through our printers.

RSVP ENVELOPE COLOUR: Kraft brown is our standard range, or you can select one of the other colours for a small surcharge.

RSVP ENVELOPE LINER: We can create matching envelopes liners to fit into your RSVP envelopes. We will create them to match the invitation design, but you can of course choose any other design to compliment your invites. Just let us know when ordering. You can have them loose so that you glue them in yourself, or you can opt for pre-assembled where we do that for you. They come either pre-cut & creased, ready for you to stick in yourself, or fully assembled where we do the hard work and stick each one in for you. They are sized to fit our v-flap envelopes (kraft brown, gold, silver C6, and Olive Green). They are not available for our white peal & seal envelopes. If you have selected Premium Cream card, the liners will be on ivory unless you specifically request to have white.

Nothing goes to print without your approval. If after placing an order you haven’t heard from us at all within 3 working days, please get in touch.
