Each card in its colorways
Every card comes in colorways of its own, and the wax seal and the page behind the card change with them. You pick a card and one of its colorways, then write the words.
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 color 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.
Color block
Your names reversed out of solid color, with the details on plain card stock 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 over the card, peeled back from the bottom.
Gilded
The card starts out in the dark and a light moves across it.
No animation
Guests see the card right away.
Questions
Can we change the colors on an example?
Yes, by picking another of that card's colorways. The colorway also sets the wax seal, the color of the page around the card, and what the envelope sits on, so they always match.
Can we add our own photo?
Yes, on the photo cards: Snapshot, Arch and Cover. Until you have a photo, the card shows a drawing in its own colors where the photo goes, and it can go live like that. You add the photo from your edit page once your page is live.
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 $15 when you publish.
