Unique Wedding Invitations

Creative, Unusual Wedding Invitations Your Guests Will Actually Keep

Back in 2017, we asked ourselves a simple question. If we were to receive a wedding invitation or a save the date, what would we actually want to open? Without a doubt, it was a tarot card. Many sketches and failed attempts later, our Crystal Ball tarot design was born, and everything here grew from that one card.

Unique for one couple is normal for another. For us, it's simple: we'd never decorate our home in a way that didn't feel like us, and your invitations should be the same. They're the very first peek into your wedding day.

Classic wedding stationery is beautiful, and we admire it. Script fonts, white card and florals just aren't our vibe. We love the dark, the spooky and the weird. For every couple, and every love story.

"I wanted something different that fit my personality & vibe of the wedding, these invites absolutely hit the nail on the head" Fawn S."

An Invitation That Feels Like a Gift | Unique Wedding Invitations 

When an invitation is interesting and detailed enough to feel like artwork, it does more than announce your wedding. It's almost like gifting each guest an art print. Holding our 3-Card Tarot Spread feels like holding three real tarot cards: special, thought out, and immersive rather than paper with names on. The reaction we hope for is simple. A guest opens it and turns to whoever is nearby: "Wow, look at this. This is TOTALLY them."

The Victorian Folding Letter | Unique Puzzle Purse Invitations 

This one was Joshua's idea. It floated around for a long time, through sketches and mock ups that never quite worked, until Joshua perfected it. It's now one of our most striking designs, and his personal favourite. Not everyone has seen or opened one before, and it really delivers the wow factor.

Space is limited, so it works beautifully with a wedding website or QR code. If you'd like every detail on paper, a gatefold or a 2 or 3 piece suite is the better fit.

Gatefolds | Invitations That Open Like Doors

A gatefold opens from the centre. It's a simple thing, but the symmetry makes a really big impact on guests. Our favourites use that centre fold as part of the design. On the Candle & Key it becomes an ornate gate opening on the front, and on 'Til Death Do Us Part the skeleton lovers stand on either side of the opening.

The Candle & Key Silhouette | Bespoke Portrait Invitations 

George's current favourite. Instead of a classic smiling photo, we draw the two of you as silhouettes, a throwback to Victorian cameos. It's a bit haunting, but totally cool. It's a hard one to show off, because every design is personal to the couple, but that's the magic: no two are ever the same.

The Magpie Effect | Foiled Wedding Invitations 

Our foiled designs are printed on velvet textured paper, which protects the foil and makes the illustrated lines shine. They're so hard to capture in photos, but in person they speak for themselves. At wedding fairs they have a real magpie effect, drawing people over with their glow. Couples often fall in love with foil the moment they see it.

Made by Two People Who Get It 

A lot of couples don't realise we're a two person team. Every email and message comes straight to us, and we're with you from start to finish. Love the outside of one gatefold and the inside of another? Where it's possible, we're happy to mix designs, and colours we can always experiment with.

For our own wedding we wanted deep green and navy to match our outfits, and we'll happily do the same for you. You never have to deal with templates, printing rules or crop marks. We take all of that worry.
