Every colourway
Each card has its own colourways, and the one you pick colours the wax seal and the page around the card as well. You choose the card and its colourway, then write your words. Everything else is drawn as you see it here.
Engraver
A double rule and laurel leaves, the card most people picture.
Wax seal
A seal pressed with your initials, on a ribbon across the card.
Botanical
Leaves across the top in two shades, and your names in script.
Picture house
Art deco: a sunburst over your names in capitals.
Big date
The day as the picture, with the month written out under it.
Register
Heavy names set flush left, a block of colour and the details in two columns.
Calendar page
The month, with your day ringed by hand.
Airmail
A striped edge, a stamp and a postmark. Good for a wedding abroad.
Colour block
Your names reversed out of solid colour, with the details on plain card below.
Ticket
A ticket with a tear-off stub, for a party more than a ceremony.
Snapshot
Your photo as an instant print, with the date written on it.
Arch
Your photo in an arched window with a fine outline.
Cover
Your photo edge to edge, under a masthead.
And how each one opens
A picture can't show the best part. Before the card appears, guests watch it arrive in one of five ways, which you choose.
The Letter
An envelope with a wax seal. The seal cracks, the flap opens and the card slides out.
Gatefold
Two doors held shut with a silk band. The band slips off and they open.
Vellum
A sheet of tracing paper laid over the card, lifted away from the bottom.
Gilded
The card starts in the dark and a light moves across it.
No animation
Guests see the card straight away.
Questions
Can we change the colours on an example?
Yes, to any of that card's own colourways. Each one sets the card's colours, the page around it and the wax seal together. A card can't take another card's colourway.
Can we add our own photo?
Yes, if you pick one of the photo cards. You add the photo from your edit page once your page is live. Until then the card shows a drawn stand-in in its own colours, so you can see it, and publish it, before you have a photo.
Does it look the same on every phone?
Yes. The card is drawn to fit the screen it opens on, so it looks the same on a small phone as on a laptop.
Make yours
Making one is free, and you only pay £12 when you publish.
