Brent P. Married on 30/10/2021Quality product, amazing service
The team at Illustrated Invitation was amazing to work with - very responsive, quick turnaround, and they do what it takes to get things done. The printing quality is outstanding, and we absolutely love the custom drawings they did of our church and reception venue (we framed and put them up in our living room, they're that good). We used them for our invitations, menu cards, and orders of service, and the turnaround time and responsiveness was excellent. We also had numerous changes because of covid and they very helpfully provided PDFs of our designs to update digitally as dates changed. We can't recommend them highly enough!The Illustrated Invitation's reply:
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us Brent, we really do appreciate it. We are so happy that we were able to help and that you finally got to have your wonderful celebration! You both deserved it after such a tough time with so many changes and uncertainty, but all worth it in the end! R&J x -

Georgie G. Married on 24/07/2021Amazing company for all wedding stationary needs
We decided very last minuet to get invites done, most other companies told us that it was impossible to get them done in time for our wedding but 'The Illustrated Invitation' were amazing. We had sketches of the venue (my parents house) done for the invites and a sketch of the church for the order of services and both were incredible. We also then decided to get table names and place names done with them as well, which fitted in with our brief perfectly. They are so efficient, the quality is amazing and they really go the extra mile to make sure every thing is perfect. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!The Illustrated Invitation's reply:
Georgie, thank you so much for your kind words about us. It makes us really happy to know that we were able to help you create exactly what you wanted and hopefully provide you with a beautiful reminder too. Now, onto the Thank You cards! xx -

Rebecca S. Married on 03/10/2020Beautiful Images, Excellent service
Rachel & Jamie were attentive from the very start. Their images are beautiful but their customer service is outstanding. They listened, gave us options and created the perfect stationary to compliment our day. We were flooded with compliments on our Wedding stationary.The Illustrated Invitation's reply:
Thank you so much Becky! We were just so pleased to be able to help you and we really hope you both had the magical day that you deserved. R&J x -
Laura Married on 01/10/2021
Great designs from a small team
They were great. Clearly a small family team, the service was very personal with suggestions and adaptions to the design to suit our needs including alternative fonts to their 'stock' ones on ther website and creating fully personalised menus to act as place settings as well on each table. I really liked the input when I feel a larger company may have done what we requested - without suggesting alternatives which were better. Definitely recommend.The Illustrated Invitation's reply:
Hi Laura! Thank you so much, we really appreciate your comments, and are glad that you found our input of help. Thank you again for taking the time to post this, and we hope you both had a fabulous day! Best wishes R&J x -

Highly recommend.
