Semi-bespoke Suites
Building your suite
A basic invitation suite begins with an invitation and a matching envelope. Our suites are designed to allow you to include all of your most important details, however some have more space for text than others. All of our designs can accommodate your names, date and time, venue and RSVP information such as a website. Some suites have space to add additional information, for example dress code, ceremony and reception details and greetings. Our designers will work with your chosen wording to ensure that your invitations look exceptional.
If you find that you need more space than is offered on our semi-bespoke designs, you can add a separate details card - designed specifically to match your suite. This can include further details such as dress code, timings, accommodation options, gift information and any other information that you require. We recommend a contrasting coloured paper for details cards to add depth and texture to your suite.
RSVP Cards
Although many couples choose to include a web address for RSVPs, a more traditional option is to include a physical RSVP card for your guests to fill in and return. If you have decided on a menu you can also include meal choices.
If you choose to include RSVP cards, we recommend also including pre-addressed, pre-stamped envelopes to ensure that your guests can easily return their RSVP.
We can supply RSVP cards to complement all of our semi-bespoke wedding suites.
Save the dates
Many couples also choose to send a 'save the date' card in advance of their full invitation suite. These save the dates are usually smaller than the full invite - either DL (1/3 A4) or A6 size - with only an announcement, a date and sometimes the general area in which the wedding will be held.
By sending save the date cards you can ensure that your guests are aware of the dates of your wedding while you continue to plan the finer details to be included in your full invitations.
We can supply save the date cards to complement all of our semi-bespoke wedding suites.
Additions & Embellishments
Wax Seals
If you opt for wraps, bands or individually printed nametags, these can be closed or attached to your invitations using a wax seal. We have a range of designs and wax colours for you to choose from.
Ribbons & Tassels
Both ribbons and tassels can be added to your invitations for extra flair. Ribbons can be wrapped around your invitations alone or can be used to close wraps and bands. Wax seals can also be used to keep your ribbon in place.
Coloured Envelopes
As standard, our invitations come with either white or Kraft paper envelopes. These can be replaced with luxury heavyweight envelopes in a range of colours matched to the majority of our ink colours for a cohesive and finished look.
Wraps and Bands
As letterpress printing requires a physical printing plate, each invitation must be exactly the same. Wraps and bands allow you to add individual details such as guest names to your invitations, adding a personal touch for each guest.
