Wedding Stationery with a difference
If you want something different for your big day, Alice Palace offers an original range of illustrations which can be personalised to create exclusive wedding invites. The available design concepts are fresh and interesting.
Alice Palace designs are inspired by thoughts and feelings, people and everyday life. They combine drawings, and words with collages, using materials to create texture and visual interest. The Alice Palace personalised wedding stationery designs are second to none. You can either incorporate your ideas into an existing design, or invites can be totally unique and personal to create the perfect stationery to reflect your special day.
The existing designs measure 178mm x 114mm and come with a 100% recycled white envelope – but design sizes and envelope colours can be altered to suit your requirements. All Alice Palace artwork can be designed to include co-ordinating save the date cards, invitations, rsvp’s, acceptance cards, thank you notes and place settings.
Below are examples of wedding sationery projects (to give you ideas), including some feedback from the happy couples!
Katie and Matt were the first couple to use the Smiling widely design and it worked really well.

For Victoria & Andy I did a day invite - with an insert, an evening invite postcard, an order of service, place names and a table plan.
‘ I am getting married on 9th of August next year. I’ve been looking at Wedding stationery for ages and can’t find anything I like at all. That is until yesterday… I was in a shop and spotted some of your greetings cards. They really appeal to me as they’re both funky and original.Anything I’ve seen up until now has been very traditional and bland. I would love if I could get my wedding stationery through you but I was wondering do you do the printing inside and can you offer orders of service that match in some way? ‘ Victoria, 12/10/2007
This is the front of the day invite (it’s a folded card):

And this is the back:
This is the double sided insert:
‘ The insert looks great! Design is perfect! ‘ Victoria, 15/11/2007
This is their evening invite postcard - front and back:
‘ I just wanted to let you know that my invites went out on Saturday and I’ve been so overwhelmed by compliments about them!! Everyone absolutely loved them and thought they were really unusual! They couldn’t believe we’d sorted it all over email!! Thank you so much I’m so so delighted with how they turned out! ‘ Victoria, 12/06/2008
And this is the front cover of their 8 page Order of Service.

And their table plan. This was A1 size (594 x 841mm) and had 18 cut outs for them to add in print outs of the finalised guests names for each table:

Thanks again for everything, your work has been just brilliant! ‘ Victoria, 06/08/2008
They also had thank you postcards:

For Cameron & Leticia I did 2 versions of their invite: one in English and one in Portugese.
‘ My fiancee and I have seen your lovely cards online and would like to enquire as to whether we are able to personalise (to a certain degree) the design for a wedding invitation. We love the two birds facing eachother and the waves you have in your beach life section but may want to include other elements to reflect the location of our wedding etc. Please can you let us know if this is possible. ‘ Cameron and Leticia, 29/07/2008
This is the English outside and inside - -
‘ Cant believe we finished! I am very content with the invitations. My Mum just looked at them too and also liked very much - Pefect! Well done! ‘ Leticia 02/10/2008

Sian & Iestyn went for the Smiling widely design as well - although they had English and Welsh translations on both their day invite and their evening invite postcard.
‘The smiling widely card is ace!’ Sian, 11/07/2008
‘ Hi Alice the invites are great. We are very happy with them.’ Sian, 04/09/2008

Jenny and Tim will be the future Mr & Mrs Swann - -
‘ I recently ordered a few of your cards to get a feel for your work and absolutely love it! We are getting married next May, which seems a long way off at the moment. My fiancee’s surname is Swann and I wondered whether you would be able to incorporate two swans into one of your designs for an invitation.’ Jennie, 01/08/2008
This is their invite
‘ The ‘swann’ design is now perfect - thank you for that. We are both absolutely thrilled! ‘ Jennie, 25/09/2008

You can look at the full range of designs available in the shop section. Designs which are particularly suitable are in the Wedding stationery link in the shop area.
Some things to think about....
It is advisable to arrange wedding stationery 4 - 5 months before your wedding date - -
This could include:
Invitations - with wedding gift list details, maps to the wedding and reception venues, accomodation list details, dietary preference notes and menus (if necessary), and an RSVP card also enclosed.
Orders-of-service
Thankyou notes
Place-cards
Table numbers/names
Table names
Table plan
Guest book
Remember, wedding invites are normally sent out 3 months before the BIG day - but you can send out save-the-date cards whenever you like!
If you would like further information, or a chat about your wedding stationery, please contact Alice on 01386 424977.
All artwork is also available on canvas in memory of the day or for a special wedding present.
