Invitations ~ ideas & concepts
Whether in physical form or as an e-invite; for a corporate event, birthday party or a wedding, the invitation is an integral part of any event. It's typically written in the formal, third-person language and sent out 5-8 weeks before the event for guests to attend. A number of elements such as type of paper, colour scheme, design, text, etc, come together to make a classic invitation. Etiquette regarding the text on a formal invitation varies according to country, culture and language. Design plays a prominent role in an invitation, from simple lines to intricate weave design, from plain old school text to calligraphy, from screen print invitations to gold foil and emboss, even printing the name of each guest, the options for personalization are immense. The paper bags, gift boxes, trays, money envelopes, name tags, address labels, etc. compliment the invitation as a complete set, often referred to as wedding stationery. We also design special program cards which elaborate on the customs and rituals followed during the course of the wedding and other related celebrations.
With over a decade of experience, our team at Papyrus is well equipped to handle all aspects of designing and executing an elegant invitation, be it in physical form or as an e-invite. We also cater to matching pieces intended for the day of the event, such as programs, menus, table cards, place cards as well as wedding favors and return party favors. Our sister concern Diletto, can provide you with chocolates, brownies, cookies, etc to go along with your invitation or to be given away as return favors to your guests ~ making us a one stop shop to cater to your needs.
designing
We begin designing the card based on your concept, which may take a few days to a week. Meanwhile you can help us with the text and decide on number of invites, guest list, etc.
signing off
A detailed soft copy of the invite will be shared with you. Kindly let us know of any changes in text, spell, grammar, etc. and confirm the total number of invites. This is important as additional invites will take longer to execute. Production will begin after you have signed off on the final draft.

Production begins post payment of 60% advance and takes about a week or more depending on the intricacy of the design, processes involved and number of invites.
