Playful Sketch

Hand-drawn, colour-blocked and cheerful — for a wedding that is not trying to be solemn.

Playful Sketch is built around a hand-drawn illustration of the couple, and the rest of the layout gets out of its way. Type is left-aligned rather than centred, set in bold condensed capitals, with the date and venue running along the bottom as a footer instead of stacking down the middle. The result reads more like a well-made poster than a formal invitation.

The suite is colour-blocked rather than printed on one paper: sand for the invitation, terracotta for the RSVP and place cards, olive for the details card and welcome sign. Seen together on a table, the set looks deliberately assembled rather than repeated, and each piece is easy to tell apart at a glance — useful when guests are picking up a place card.

This is the least formal style in the collection. It suits weddings where the tone is the point: a garden, a courtyard, a restaurant, a second marriage, a city-hall ceremony with dinner afterwards. It would be the wrong choice for very traditional wording, which tends to sit awkwardly against the informality of the drawing.

Every card is a different colour instead of one shared paper.
