Hazel & Owen
The vows are read from folded letters, and each one goes back in its envelope after.
Part of the TinselLux™ collection: invitations in stitched leather, tufted velvet, linen and satin.
The material is the card: linen with a visible weave, velvet with a nap, leather with its grain. It costs the same as every other invitation.
See the collectionThis wedding invitation imagines a day held together by things written down. The ceremony is short, the vows are read off cards small enough to hold in one hand, and the paper is folded along a crease made days earlier. Chairs are tied with sage silk ribbon. The order of service is one sheet, cream, with a sprig pressed into wax at the top.
At the reception there is a writing table near the door: ink, pens that work, a stack of blank cards. Guests sit down for a minute or two and write something, and the cards go into a lidded box with the envelopes from the gift table. Dinner, the toasts, the first dance. Afterwards the couple takes the box home and reads it over a week, a few cards at a time.

What to actually tell people
- Set up the writing table where people walk past Put it between the door and the bar, with cream cards, two or three pens that are known to work, and a short line telling guests what to write. One sentence about how you met, or a note to be opened on your first anniversary.
- Practice the wax seal before the week of A sealing stamp and a glue-gun wax stick will do a hundred impressions, but the first ten are too thin or too hot. Seal the order of service, the menus, or the thank-you notes, and do them sitting down with a tray of cold water nearby.
- Give the envelopes a lid Cards and letters slide off a gift table and end up under it. Use one box with a hinged lid and a slot, and ask a specific person, by name, to carry it to the car at the end of the night.
- Write the vows on cards, not phones Cut them to pocket size so they do not shake, and number them in case they get dropped. Give the officiant a second copy, and keep the originals afterwards: they are the thing you will want in ten years.
