The Alphabet a civil wedding invitation with one letter per page

Your day told as a primer: one letter, one drawing, one piece of good news per page, and the letters in the band fill in as the guest reads.

  • Included in every plan
  • 2 palettes, one click away
  • Free preview, with your names

What are your names?

The design beside you carries the names from the first moment. You can change them any time.

The opening plays on tap, as it does on a guest's phone.

The design's card

What goes into The Alphabet.

One letter, one drawing, one piece of good news: your day told as a primer

  • The opening

    Window words

    Big words cut out of the paper: every letter is a window onto your first Gallery photo, and the last window is your names. With no photos, the letters open onto a wash of the template's colours.

  • The type

    Fraunces · Nunito

    Fraunces for the names, Nunito for the text.

  • The colours

    Lavender

    2 palettes: base, lavender. Switch in one click, in the editor.

  • The RSVP

    Will you come?

    A button in the invitation: who is coming, with how many, which menu. The answers come to you.

About the design

It opens on words cut out of the paper as windows onto your photo, then the names in Fraunces with its soft axes open and a band of letters, stuck to the top, that fills in as you read. Every page has its letter on a pastel tile, “for” in handwriting and a drawing that gives the information before the text does: W for Who, with the names written beside the photo; D for Day, a calendar leaf with the date circled; T for Time, one clock per moment with its hands at that hour; R for Registry, P for Party, G for Godparents, A for Answer. At the end, full marks, circled in red. Nunito on the text, Caveat on the handwriting, raspberry or lavender.

Which events it suits

The pages exist only for what you filled in: a civil ceremony makes seven or eight letters, with the registry office and the table; a wedding adds C for Church and a third clock. The letters follow the language the invitation is read in, so the primer stays a primer for a guest from another country. For couples who want a playful invitation, read to the very end.
