I'M BACK! 🎉

After a year away studying, I'm so excited to be back doing what I love - creating beautiful, handmade wedding stationery for incredible couples! ✨

If you're new here, I'm Jo and I specialise in eco-friendly, sustainable wedding invitations (think plantable seed paper and recycled card that your guests will actually want to keep!).

I've missed this community SO much, and I can't wait to catch up and share all the wedding stationery tips I've been storing up while I was away 📚

Over the next few posts, I'm going to be sharing my ULTIMATE guide to wedding invitation timing for 2026 and 2027 couples. Because let's be honest - everyone tells you something different and it gets SO confusing! 😅

Drop a 👋 in the comments if you're planning a 2026 or 2027 wedding - I want to hear from you!

And if you've stuck around while I've been MIA - thank you. You're the best! 💛

I have BIG news!
I've just enrolled at to finally study for my MSc, starting Monday.

Keep swiping to read all about it, but if you want the short version 👇

I've been wanting to do it for ages, and if Oasis can do a 30 year anniversary comeback, then so can I.

Business will continue as usual. I'll be splitting my time between work and study.

I'm excited and terrified, but my Mum has promised to buy me new school shoes, so that's OK 😆

Perfectly timed encouragement from right after I picked up my ID card earlier this week, thank you 🙏

Questions, messages of support, encouraging words.... leave them in the comments. Please and thank you 👇

It's save the date season!

Send them 12 to 18 months ahead of the big day (or up to two years is fine too, as long as you have your date & venue booked).

I love these bespoke, library card ones that I made for Chris & Emily's big day last year. So fun & quirky.

Get in touch to have a chat about yours now. All my contact details are in my bio.

Here's everything you need to know about them 👇

Modern Monogram

One of my most popular designs. This invitation is in pocketfold format for the day invitation, with a matching flat evening invitation just seen behind.

The pocketfold (and inserts) can be any colour, with a coordinating card or vellum bellyband to keep everything together.

The inserts can be adapted to exactly what you need, whether that's details, menus, order of the day, or reply cards (with or without envelopes).

We added foil printing to the invitation panel and personalised wax seals to the bellyband. The perfect touch of luxury on these elegant and timeless invitations.

A classic design with endless opportunities to personalised and customise. What colour scheme would yours be?
