The ‘Heirloom’ wedding invitation suite from Akimbo evokes the feeling of unlocking nanna’s jewellery box. The classic monochrome palette and subtle letterpress give an understated elegance while the cameo design gives a subtle vintage touch.

Whimsical and romantic, this invitation featuring a vintage illustration of a hot air balloon carrying away a heart and a bright and modern colour palette is inspired by one of the designer Sophie’s favourite films; The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.
The movie’s theme of love conquering all is a beautiful sentiment for the motif and first impression of your wedding day!
Note the quality of the stock? You can practically feel the quality through the screen can’t you?
What I love best though? Every element from the fonts, the colours, to the colour of the envelope can be customised- gotta love that!
Top tip: When choosing your wedding invites, feeling the paper is a MUST! Great design is only part of the story, the look and feel of the paper is just as important!

The decadence and glamour of 1930‘s Hollywood was the inspiration behind this art deco style invitation suite.
Strong typography and century old letterpress printing techniques were teamed with the finest quality italian paper stock and ruby shine envelopes. The art deco style address label and a belly band bring this distinctive suite together.
In true Art Deco style, the elegantly refined invitation suite featured an eclectic touch. Guests invited to ‘Request a Record’- a great idea to ensure guests are up and dancing- and a gift registry ticket that looks like it belongs on the set of Boardwalk Empire.

What we did before Etsy I don’t know. (And the internet for that matter. Yellow Pages perhaps?) Brides can especially benefit, with a world of creativity, whatever your style, just waiting to be explored. A quick search of what you’re after, and in seconds, an endless list of quality, original designs that can be easily incorporated into your wedding day theme appears on your screen.
One of my favourite things about Etsy is the the printable designs. Clickety-click and the design is emailed to you for printing. No waiting for the postman, which is especially good as if you’re anything like me, you need to strike while the D.I.Y bug is strong.
Here are a few DIY printables to complement your wedding invites and styling.
Party Favour Bags
Personalise your Candy Bar bags or make your own sweet bags for guests.
