Editorial
A serif at size, one hairline above the date, generous margins.
About this design
Type and rules and nothing else: a serif at a large size, a hairline above the date, generous margins. It is the formal end of the range — a fiftieth anniversary, a convention, a wedding whose hosts want no ornament at all — and it is the family that ages best, because there is nothing in it to date.
Save the Date
The day as the headline, month and weekday beside it, then the names.
About this design
The date first, set as the headline: the day of the month in a large display serif, the month and weekday beside it in small capitals, the year beneath, then one hairline and the names. Nothing else on the page — no ornament, no border — because a save-the-date has one job, which is to put a day in somebody's calendar months ahead, and every mark that is not the date competes with it.
With your photo
These leave room for a picture of your own, added when you make the invitation.
Photo
Add a photo
Your photograph on its own plate; the words beside it, never over it.
About this design
One photograph full-bleed on the split plate, the invitation set beside or beneath it in a quiet serif. The plate holds the picture and nothing else — no words ever sit on it — so the photo is framed by the palette rather than written over. It is the host's own photo, copied once with its location and camera details removed; guests' photos are never stored.
Your Artwork
Add a photo
Your own picture edge to edge; the words on a solid band below.
About this design
Your own picture edge to edge, with the invitation set beneath it on a solid band in a quiet condensed face. Made for a host who already has a card they love: the look is theirs and the words are ours, so the date can still be corrected at the same address after the picture has been forwarded. The band is the palette's own paper at full strength, never a veil over the picture, so nothing a guest reads is ever read through somebody's photograph.
Usually at home, a restaurant and a hired hall, for family and friends. Weeks to months before the wedding. Free invitation designs with RSVP and calendar, and no account for your guests.
Each one is a different visual tradition rather than a recolour of the same card. Tap a colour underneath to change the palette; every design carries your own wording, date and place.

Questions people ask
- Do my guests need an account?
- No, and they never will. A guest opens the link, types their name and taps Going, Maybe or Can't go. No password, no phone number, no app. If a page ever asks your guests for a password, it is not us.
- Can I text my guests?
- Only the ones who asked to be texted. A guest gives a number on their own — on our page, never yours — and confirms it with a six-digit code before we will send anything. You never see the number. Texts are limited to three per event so an invitation cannot become a mailing list, and cancelling or moving an event is never counted against that.
- Does it work in WhatsApp?
- That is what it is built for. Pasting the link shows a picture of the invitation with the date and who is hosting, before anybody taps — and the page opens in whatever browser your guest has, on any phone, including the ones that are not iPhones.
- Can guests add it to Google Calendar?
- Google, Apple, Outlook and anything else that reads a calendar file. There is a button on the invitation itself, and it works before anybody answers. If you change the time or the place afterwards, their existing entry updates — it does not add a second one — and cancelling removes it.
