Our favourite keepsake!

Absolutely great service! Met Rachael at a wedding fair and loved that its a different concept i’ve never seen before, and now can have it on our wall forever rather than a book hidden away. Rachael always responded so quickly and was really helpful, from the first time I met her at the fair, with checking they had our venue sketched already, throughout to getting our finished frame! Would definitely recommend. Thank you again for our beautiful keepsake!

The Illustrated Invitation's reply:

Thank you so much Megan! So happy to hear that you have been impressed with the service and are delighted with your frame - we hope it keeps making you smile every day! R&Jx

Amazing idea finished brilliantly!

We knew early on in the planning process that we didn’t want a traditional guestbook (didn’t think we’d open it ever!) but weren’t sure what we did want. We met these guys at a wedding fair and thought their work was great.
Rachael was very responsive, prompt and accommodating to all our needs via email. She advised us on size of artwork for our small wedding which works brilliantly.
Completing the cards was a nice activity for our guests to do during cocktail hour. They all took it very seriously!
When we got back to reality, we were really impressed that we were sent a real paper proof to check rather than a digital one.
We love our alternative guestbook and hung it up immediately. People have already commented on how lovely it is!
Would 100% recommend these guys to anyone getting married if you want something you will actually look back on and make you smile everyday!

The Illustrated Invitation's reply:

Thank you so much Becky! That's fab to hear that writing the cards was a great activity for your guests :)) We totally agree - we thought your frame looked lovely too - your choice of the black frame really set off your photo and messages perfectly! R&Jx

Unreal from the very beginning to the very end!

We used the Illustrated Invitations for all of our wedding stationary including our wedding invitations, personalised menus, table signs, personalised table quizzes, seating chart, welcome sign, order of the day, thank you cards and our lovely guestbook frame. Rachael and the team really know how to smash stationary! Every single piece was absolutely perfect and so carefully looked after, all the details were checked and checked again and Rachael provided help, support and suggestions to make sure our timings were perfect and nothing was too rushed or wrong. Every single piece was packaged so beautifully and all the materials used looked and felt very premium. All of our guests have commented on how lovely everything was and many of them have kept bits as mementos. The guestbook frame is such a wonderful idea and has given us an amazing and special piece of art to have in our home and look back on for many many years to come. I can’t thank Rachael and the team enough for making this part of our journey to Mr and Mrs so smooth and special.

The Illustrated Invitation's reply:

Thank you so much Beth! It has been lovely helping you with all the bits and pieces for your day, and so happy to hear that they were a hit with your guests on your beautiful day :))
Hope your Alternative Guest Book makes you smile every day! Thank you so much for your lovely review! R&Jx

Did the reviews win you over?

High- quality products and professional service!

We first met The Illustrated Invitation at a wedding fayre and instantly booked the Alternative Guest Book experience which I thought was such a fantastic idea! Later on I decided to use them to make our table place cards and they didn’t disappoint! Rachael listened to exactly what I wanted, made as many edits as necessary and showed me the final product before printing. When they arrived, they were beautifully presented and protected in packaging. I was extremely impressed and can’t wait to see them on my wedding day!
The Illustrated Invitation's reply:

Thank you so much Emily! You knew exactly what you wanted and we think your place cards look fabulous too! Thank you for including the pics :)) Can't wait to start on your Alternative Guest Book now. Have an amazing day in August, R&Jx

Amazing wedding invites!

So impressed with the quality of our wedding invitations! They made them perfect for us - sent us different types of samples with different options for us to choose from. Super quick delivery and they came beautifully wrapped. Couldn't fault the service they provided - would definitely recommend to anyone getting married to look at their designs for wedding invites!

The Illustrated Invitation's reply:

Hi Zoe - thank you so much. This is lovely feedback and we are so pleased that you are happy to recommend us! :)) R&Jx

The Best of the Best!

Everything about our experience using The Illustrated Invitation was just extraordinary from start to finish. My fiancé and I have heavily relied on Hitch to ensure we are choosing the very best suppliers for our special day, and we certainly were not disappointed with our choice for personalised invitations. Rachael and her team crafted jaw droppingly gorgeous pencil sketches of our venue and provided the flexibility we required in designing and planning for various types of invites and wordings. We will be forever grateful the way our ideas were brought to life and the overwhelming reaction from our family and friends has just been so special and a feeling we will never forget, so thank you Rachael and to anyone searching for an adorable family-run business to create unique and high quality stationary for their big day, you are in the right place! Please contact The Illustrated Invitation today!

The Illustrated Invitation's reply:

Wow! Thanks so much Jack! We have loved doing your invitations and creating a new sketch of your beautiful venue - it really has made a beautiful illustration which complimented your other design choices perfectly. We are very touched by your kind words about our business - thank you. R&Jx

Alternative Guestbook

We had never considered an alternative guestbook so when our daughter entered us into a competition which we won we were a little bit sceptical. However, Rachael has been amazing all through the process, the quality of the cards for guests to write their little stories on were superb to the end product, which has absolutely blown us away.
We are thrilled to have our guests comments on display in such a stunning, unique way. Thank you so much.
The Illustrated Invitation's reply:

Hi Sarah - I didn't know that it was your daughter who entered for you - what a lovely surprise!! :)) I think your frame looks gorgeous, and we hope it will be a lovely reminder of your day for many years to come. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this for us, and for including some pics too - it's great to see it on the wall already! R&Jx

Absolutely Amazing

The quality of the product is stunning, and the packaging was so thoughtfully done. It felt really special opening everything up.

We are so grateful to Rachael and her team for all of the care and attention that clearly went into the invites. she was so lovely to work with, very helpful and responsive. Would 100% recommend and we're now even more excited to see continue working the them to see all of our the on‑the‑day pieces come together.

The Illustrated Invitation's reply:

Thank you so much Gemma! It has been a delight working with both of you as well and I'm really excited to get started on your On the Day items for you too - especially your seating plan, which I am sure is going to look fabulous! R&Jx

Wedding venue sketch

Excellent product, comes beautifully packaged in a gift box. Perfect wedding present! Good communication throughout with the seller, only feedback to improve would be an easier website to navigate to order. Thanks again for a beautiful present, highly recommend!

Thank you so much Ben, we really appreciate your feedback, it's always good to know things like this. We will take a look and try to make this clearer. We hope your thoughtful gift is well received and that you have a fantastic time at the wedding! R&Jx
