Luxury Alternative Wedding Invitation Suites:
Fine Art & Dark Romance

If the Save the Date was the first glimpse, your Wedding Invitation Suite is the full reveal. This is the moment where your vision truly comes to life in your guests' hands. For me, the invitation isn't just a piece of paper with a date on it, it’s the centrepiece of your wedding’s identity. It’s a tangible piece of artwork that tells your guests: this is not going to be a typical wedding.

Whether you are looking for a classic 2-piece suite, a detailed 3-piece collection, or our signature Luxury Gatefold designs, every element is crafted to defy the norm. We balance that dark, gothic romanticism with modern necessity, seamlessly integrating RSVP cards and QR codes so the experience is as effortless as it is beautiful.

I believe our customers stand out because they aren’t afraid to choose designs that speak to who they really are. When a guest pulls a heavy, tarot-inspired gatefold from an envelope, they aren't just getting an invite, they’re getting an experience. It’s exciting, it’s different, and if I were the one opening that suite, I would be absolutely hyped for the big day. Explore our suites below and find the design that captures the unique magic of your wedding day.

Curating Your Suite: From Tarot Art to Dark Romance

We offer a few different ways to lay out your invites, depending on how much information you need to get across and the kind of "wow moment" you want for your guests.

The Gatefold Invitation
This is one of our most popular options. It has a design on the front that opens in the center to a full reveal of your wedding details. You get three columns inside, usually for your main invite, order of the day, and finer details, so everything is in one place and looks amazing.
2-Piece Suite (with Cut-off RSVP)
Styled like classic tarot cards, this set comes with your main invitation and a second card for the details. It has a handy tear-off RSVP section at the bottom, which is a great practical touch for your guests to send back to you.
3-Piece Invitation Suite
If you want that extra layered feel, this is the one. You get three separate cards: the main design card, a details card for things like the order of the day, and a standalone RSVP card. It’s a great choice if you have a lot to say and want it to feel a bit more traditional.
The 3-Card Tarot Spread
I love this one for something truly different. It’s three separate cards designed like a tarot spread. You have the artwork on the front, and then we put all your details and info on the back. It’s a real keepsake that feels a bit more like a piece of art than just an invite.

Luxury Finishes: Metallic Foiling, Velvet & Envelopes

Deciding what to include can feel overwhelming, but we are here to help. Many couples now use a wedding website for the bulk of their info, so we can include a QR code or URL to keep the physical card minimal. Otherwise, a guest-facing order of the day is a must-have. To finish your set, we provide textured white envelopes as standard, but we always have black and craft brown on hand if you want a different look. For an extra touch of luxury, we can add foiling in some designs, we offer gold, silver, rose gold, copper, or iridescent. While foiling is a bit trickier on gatefolds, it works beautifully on our card sets to really step up the design.

From Sketch to Suite: Our Bespoke Invitation Process

The most exciting part is seeing your invitations in person. We always send over a digital draft first so you can check every detail and be 100 percent happy before we go to print. Once they are ready, they are carefully packaged and shipped via DPD or FedEx with full tracking. There is nothing quite like that moment when you open the box. We truly believe these designs look even better in your hand than they do on a screen. These invitations are for the niche who want something dark, alternative, and unique.
