Service 02

The first gift of the day

The invitation is your guest’s first contact with the wedding. What they feel opening the envelope sets the tone for everything after — that feeling is what we press into paper.

The suite

What goes into a suite?

A classic suite is the invitation card, outer envelope and RSVP card. Menus, place cards, order-of-day cards, thank-you cards and a wax seal can join it. We print every piece from the same paper family so the set feels whole in the hand.

Envelope addresses can be written by our calligrapher or printed in digital calligraphy. Wax sealing is done in the studio, one envelope at a time.

  • Invitation: 600–900 gsm cotton, letterpress plus foil
  • Envelope: Lined or plain, hand-addressing available
  • On the day: Menus, place cards, orders of service, thank-yous
  • Seal: Hand-applied wax with a custom monogram die
