  • An ivory envelope sealed in gold wax, “The Qureshi family” written below the seal

Their name on the envelope

With the Ivory Card, each family’s invitation arrives sealed with your initials, their own name written on the envelope.

  • The Ivory Card as Jasmine: sprays of jasmine in gold at two corners, the names in script
  • The Ivory Card as Arch: a fine gold arch around the words, a star at its tip
  • The Ivory Card as Monogram: the couple’s initials in a gold roundel, their names in capitals
Nine designs for one card

The Ivory Card alone comes in nine designs, Jasmine, Arch and Monogram among them, in your colour, with your words.

On the wedding day, the top of a family’s invitation: On now, Nikah at 2:00 PM, Riverside Masjid, and a Directions button
It knows the day

On the day, each family’s link opens on what is on now or next for them, where it is, their table and the way there.

Stationery scenes

A card for each event, set in its own scene and rendered from scans of real paper, cloth and metal, with your words on it. It opens as a short film for each family, which you can also post on WhatsApp. Where each comes from
