The Day's Map a civil wedding invitation drawn as a road

The day is a drawn road: a little car with tin cans drives from the registry office to the party, and every stop is a drawing that says the hour and the place by itself.

About the design

The page opens on your photo in an arch, the date stuck to it like a yellow sticker, and then the day becomes a road drawn on cream paper. As the guest scrolls, a raspberry car with tin cans tied behind it traces the route, and at every stop the drawing gives the information before the text does: the clock on the registry office shows the ceremony's own hour, the string lights in the garden come on for the party, and at the end the mailbox flag goes up for the answer. Fraunces on the names, Nunito Sans on the text, Caveat on the handwritten notes along the road. Warm pastels — peach, pink, butter, sage — or the “Sage” variant, with a green road and car.

Which events it suits

Made first for the civil ceremony, where the day has one stop or two and each deserves a drawing: the registry office with its clock, then the table. At a wedding the road grows by a church, so three stops and two notes along the way carry the whole programme. Not for anyone after solemnity: the tone is warm, cheerful and airy, and the car does not take itself seriously at all.
