Each Original Design Family is an artwork suite which applies a co-ordinated style to a complete range of stationery items. We have a wide variety covering most periods and styles; almost all are shown on this site. Each Family comprises: front cover (for folding invitations, service books and menus, with appropriate lettering), invitation design whose border is also used for menu interiors, response card, place card, thank-you card, correspondence card, letterhead, place card and gift tag. Complete design sheets for each family, showing all its components, are available on request.
On these items we do not offer graphics; the design consists purely of typesetting, attractively laid out and in most cases including a monogram.
When ordering by post, please write or type out the wording you require for invitations etc. If ordering online using this form, you can either attach a document (Word, PDF etc.) giving your requirements,or else type your wording into the boxes given near the end of the form.
The wording of these is completely flexible; you can phrase them just as you wish. Bilingual invitations are one of our specialities. We recommend using the ‘folding front/interior’ styles E or F for these, so that the two texts can balance each other on the two inside panels. We have typefaces for Greek, Russian/Cyrillic and Hebrew, besides all special characters for French, German, Spanish and the Nordic languages.
