Bespoke Wedding Invitations: The Art of Hot Foil Printing
Reject the Ordinary with Hand-Crafted Wedding Invitations
Pressed in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Made to be kept.
Before the venue.
Before the flowers.
Before the day itself.
Deep-Strike Impressions for a Lasting Statement
The invitation is the physical weight of your intention.
We don't produce "stationery."
We create permanent marks on heavyweight 700gsm–1200gsm board.
The Finest Papers for Your Unique Vision
Most wedding invitations live on the surface of the card.
They feel temporary. We take a different approach.
Using a vintage Marshall No. 5 press, we strike your details deep into the grain.
It is a tactile crater that your guests will feel before they read.
Our Process: Traditional Craft for Modern Love Stories
We don’t do "digital production lines." We hand-feed every sheet, adjusting the heat and pressure until the strike is exactly right. This is not fast print. It is careful print.
