Ampersand Wedding Invitations

Description

These modern wedding invitations are printed on lavender card and feature a deep purple border, text and motif.

This Pocket-fold wedding invitation is a printed invitation, with prominent use of typographic elements – in particular, an ampersand! These striking purple ampersand wedding invitations are beautiful and bold. Closed the wedding invitations measure 105 x 148mm.

The invitation opens to reveal the main invitation and information cards, to keep all the additional information tucked neatly away.

This is a simple and stunning invitation, a perfect way to invite your guests to your wedding day.

• Personal attention to the design and wording of your invite – including tweaks to match your colour scheme, and to fit the design to your preferred wording. We’ll help ensure your invitation says just the right thing.
• An electronic draft mockup of your invite before it goes to print – so you can see how everything looks, and request any changes. Up to two rounds of revisions are included.

• A minimum order of 30 wedding invitations required

An Ampersand Case Study

I worked with Leah and Kelvin to produce a suite of wedding stationery that fit their wedding aesthetic.  Modern, with little details that could be pulled through into the day-of stationery, and with prominent use of lavender/purple and aubergine tones. The front of their invitation featured the prominent use of an ampersand (i.e. the “&”) and a striking border of aubergine framed the card beautifully.

The details

The main invitation opens up to reveal a pocket for an information card, map and RSVP postcard. They included postage on each card, and reported an excellent return rate as a result.

Each invitation was personalised with guest’s names, saving any confusion and dodgy handwriting. I also learnt not to try carry a large box of invitations inside when in a rush – a couple of invites were urgently re-printed when I tripped and dropped some in the mud! I’m so clumsy!

The big day details

Leah and Kelvin got married on a special day for me as well: 26 September was my 5th wedding anniversary.  They didn’t have the same worries as I did with my wedding however, as they had an indoor venue for their big day.

The ceremony was held at Dunedin Railway Station.   Following the formalities, their guests were invited to pop across the road to Ironic Cafe and Bar for drinks and nibbles. Both Kelvin and Leah work in, or have backgrounds in, hospitality, so they had the vision to spot Toitu Otago Settlers Museum as a modern and spacious place to hold their wedding reception.

Chris Garden was their photographer for the day, providing a beautiful, clean and modern aesthetic which suited this modern couple well.

As well as wedding invitations, a set of order of service cards, menus (which also played double duty as place names) and a table seating plan was produced.
