The words that sound like you.
Consider how you speak to the people you’re inviting. Formal, direct, playful or quiet: a few chosen words can be a useful starting point for the design.
02 / Custom wedding invitations
Before the day,
the invitation.
A message from the two of you. An invitation to everyone you want there. Begin with the words and the feeling you want to share.
Inside the invitation
Two kinds of detail.
Both personal.
The information guests need.
Gather your names and any confirmed date, time, venue and response details. Keep undecided information clearly marked so it does not become final wording by accident.
The feeling before the day.
Describe the atmosphere in your own language. A favourite colour pairing or a simple visual reference can help explain a direction without requiring a finished design.
A little preparation
Make room for
what matters.
Custom does not have to begin with a complete concept. It can begin with a list: what feels essential, what feels unlike you and what is still undecided.
What if our wording is not final?
For your planning brief, distinguish confirmed details from placeholders. Include the questions you still have; the brief is a way to organize your thoughts, not an instruction to print.
What about paper for the wedding day?
Use the event stationery page to think through the day from a guest’s perspective. If you are considering both services, mention both in the same project outline.
