Invitation Design & Print

Over recent years The English Group has been able to indulge its love of heritage print techniques and finest printing papers when being commissioned to design bespoke invitations for society weddings all over the world.

Techniques such as die-stamping and engraving, letterpress, gilt-edging, and duplexing of fine papers are often difficult to countenance within commercial projects, but commissions for wedding invitations and personal stationery – and the small quantities often required for such work – offer us unique opportunities to explore what’s possible with these increasingly little used artisan production techniques.

The following images showcase but a small selection of examples of works completed for a mix of personal and commercial clients.

(A considerably more expansive selection is in the process of being added to The English Group’s website).
