Candle and Key | Hand Drawn Couple Portrait Wedding Invitation | Vintage Gothic Gatefold in Black
Every cover is different. That is the point.
This is a hand drawn wedding invitation in the most literal sense. When you order this gatefold, we draw a custom couple portrait from your own photographs, in silhouette. Your profiles, your hairlines, your faces facing each other across the fold, exactly as you are. No two covers we have ever made are the same.
Inside, a full cabinet of curiosities unfolds across three panels. The order of your day on the left. Your wedding details at the centre, set in an ornate Victorian oval frame surrounded by illustrations. All the fine details your guests need on the right. Everything personalised to your names, your date and your venue.
An illustrated wedding invitation with a vintage Victorian gothic feel, for couples who want something genuinely one of a kind. Shown here in black. Part of the Candle and Key collection at Birdhouse197, printed in the UK.
