Story time.
10 years ago, I created Emma and Andrews wedding invites.
I then created their christening invites and the 1st anniversary card.
A few weeks ago, Emma got in touch to ask if I can make a 10-year anniversary card to match the invites!!
Absolutely, I can. I remembered the ribbon colour and the design.
A week later, I got a message from Andrew asking if I could make a 10-year anniversary card for Emma. To match the invites, but slightly different wording!!
Absolutely!!
So they both got their anniversary cards from me. I wonder how shocked they were when they received each other's
But how lovely!!!

(The ribbon is the same on both cards, just the camera likes to show different colours)

I hope Jon and Lucy had a lovely wedding day on Saturday.
I created their wedding invites and they asked if I could create some menus to match the invites.
So I picked parts of the invite and made these lovely kids drawn menus.
You really can't get any more personalised than that.

ill pop the invite design in the comments.

Another set of invites packed up and put today. These ones are great, can't wait to show you. These are for a teacher and they are kids drawn! But when you can't decide on one drawing, you choose 10. Hopefully I'll get to share them soon.

But all safely packaged up and out to the post office today!

But how stunning are these though!!
These went out a few weeks back, but how beautiful are they!
The brief was a vintage style, with greens and foliage.
We got there in the end, we had a few designs done, and Natalie knew it needed something extra and so we changed the fonts, wording and added the bolder foliage.

It just goes to show you need to keep tweaking things to get your perfect invites, and I am here to change everything and anything you need to create them! Even if we change things but you want them all changing back to the original! I really do not mind! at all, make 100s of changes, I just want you to be happy and proud to send out your invites.

Just look at how pretty these are going to be. (Hiding all the details) as still working on them. But I had to share. I LOVE this design. The "once upon a time" range is evolving. And I love it.

Remember if you're looking for wedding invites, but not found what you're looking for. Send me a message. I would love to help you create your perfect invite.

My goodness. It's 2025 already.
I can't promise this page will get busier, but I am still here creating wedding invites and stationery.
Currently working on a church sketch for a lovely set of invites.
I do have some more kids drawn designs to show you too!

But to be honest, wedding invites are taking a back seat, mainly because the demand isn't there anymore. More and more people are creating their own, especially with websites like canva. Sometimes, we just can't compete.
I'll keep this page up and running, but I won't be here posting daily. Maybe once a month. My other page is where you will find me and my new things.

But happy 2025!!!

It's been 18 days since I last posted.
But I have been super busy with kids drawn wedding invites. These seem to be the direction my wedding business is going.

I should just be called. "Kids drawn wedding stationery" 😆 but I love it.

How super cute are these ones! They all turn out really well. I love them

Kids drawn invites are back!
I have had 3 proofs and final proofs of these done this week!
I think with most people now doing their own invites.
This may be my way forward. As these really are unique and pretty and one of a kind. I will show the before and after when I know the invites have been sent out. But how lovely are these!

The children draw their picture. I tidy it up, take away smudges, creases and any mistakes and put it together on an invite for you!

Here is just a sneak peak of some that have gone out today

It's a long shot. But due to duplicate prints and unattended parties, I have a few specific cards. That are perfect, just already personalised and printed. Looking for new homes. So if you know
An
Isabelle turning 5
Ethan turning 5
Ronnie turning 5
Molly turning 30
Elousie turning 14
Or a Ruby turning 5
These cards are £1 each with £1 postage.

Any takers. Otherwise they'll need to go in the bin and I don't want to do that.

These are all blank inside and do come with envelopes.

Morning! My little man has gone back to school! those summer holidays just flew by! He was excited to start year 1 and I think he's ready to do some learning.
So now I am back to work full time, well as full time as a self employed mum at home is, who fits in cleaning, washing, preparing and cooking tea etc... but you know. (rambling... sorry)

I have a few wedding orders, wedding cards, birthday cards and cake toppers to work on this week! Nice selection.
These new cowboy themed wedding cards will be up in the shop this week too.

Good Morning!!
I only uploaded these cards the other week on etsy and already have a sale! So more wedding cards will go up in the shop, along with all the new invite orders coming in.
The invites on etsy are the more simple, standard designs.
If you want things changing and adding, its still be best to send a message and we can work through your order.

I have some new designs getting printed today, but they can't be shown yet again. That's the thing with wedding things. then I forget to post pictures, when it's safe to share.
