Elegant invitations
The illustrated invitation provided excellent service and beautiful invitations for my wedding in October 2025. They were very responsive and made adjustments to make our design just as we wanted them. The delivery was prompt and we have had many compliments on the invitations.

Cannot recommend The Illustrated Invitation enough!
The Illustrated Invitation stepped in at the *absolute* last minute and produced some beautiful place cards on a very tight turnaround. They've secured our business for all future needs and we're recommending them to everyone who will listen.

Intimate Wedding Invites
Rachael was so helpful in putting the invites together and her constant commitment to quality through the process is exceptional. Whilst we only needed a few invites we feel the investment was well worth it as the results are stunning.

Brilliant from start to finish, couldn’t recommend highly enough
From the start of our experience to the end Rachael and the rest of the team have been amazing. We live abroad so have had to put a lot our faith in our wedding suppliers and Illustrated Invitation were faultless. Even when they had their own difficulties and times away the communication was brilliant, and the finish products are amazing. We absolutely love our sketch and the orders of service.
If, like us, you are stuck with what to do for your order of service, definitely go with Illustrated invitation, you won’t regret it!

Beautiful orders of service
Rachael and the team were amazing from start to finish. She was so responsive to emails which anyone planning a wedding will know is so so helpful. I was a bit indecisive with the numbers I wanted printed and went back and forth with the text a lot and she was so patient and kept mocking up a new version each time. When they arrived they were beautifully packaged on high quality paper. Everyone at our ceremony loved them. Thank you so much!

This is 100% company for all stationary needs!
We chose The Illusrated Invitations originally for our wedding invites and after seeing the standard and quality of these decided to use her for all of our wedding stationary!
Racheal was so helpful and guided us through our choices making sure the invites and stationary were the best they can be! She was very thorough and picked up on mistakes that we had made which could have lead to errors!
The standard and quality of all of our stationary was top notch and came beautifully presented everytime. We couldn’t recommend The Illustrated Invitation enough and made it a very personal experience for us.
Thankyou again!

Excellent service and beautiful stationery
Rachael created a range of stationery for our wedding. Order of service, personalised menus, place cards, and table numbers. She also printed our vows and readings. Quality was important to us and it did not disappoint. The card was beautiful. The font style and colour complemented our venue. We were so thrilled. Everything arrived wrapped in tissue in a box - it was all part of the experience. Rachael was so patient with us. For the quality it was outstanding value. She hadn't worked with our venue before so we commissioned illustrations. They have recently arrived, mounted and are beautiful. A lovely reminder of the stationery. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Alix & Ian
