What makes an invitation minimalist

Design concept: white cotton card, charcoal monogram

Paper

Weight you can feel

Heavy cotton or smooth matte stock, so a plain card still feels substantial in the hand.

Type

One typeface

Set small and spaced well: your monogram or names, then only what guests need.

Finish

One, done properly

A blind deboss, a single foil rule, or white ink on a dark stock.

Space

On purpose

Most of the card is left empty. The space is part of the design.

Minimalist designs

The first four are design concepts, made to show where a minimal suite can go. The rest are suites we have made. Open any design to see it up close, then tell us what you would change.

How much do minimalist wedding invitations cost?

Sets from $8 to $20 each, depending on quantity and finish, with the invitation, RSVP card, envelope, raised printing and a name label for every guest. Keepsake box sets sit at the top of the range.

We're a wholesale printer as well as a design studio, so you pay trade prices with no middleman, up to 30% less than most Melbourne stationers.

Honest pricing: you pay for your printed sets, never for the design. Design sessions, proofs and unlimited revisions are included.

We quote any quantity, from an intimate list to a very large one. A minimal suite often sits toward the lower end of our range, because it uses one finish rather than several.

“You were very helpful, responsive and understanding when it came to our designs and budgets.”

Questions we hear

Design concept: stone card, blind-debossed monogram

“Everyone who received one commented on how beautiful they were.”

Barbara and Wade

What is a minimalist wedding invitation?

One that keeps only what matters: your names or monogram, the date, the place and how to reply, set in one typeface on good paper with plenty of space around it.

Will a minimalist invitation look cheap?

Not when the paper and print do the work. A minimal design puts the budget into the card itself: heavy stock, a deboss you can feel, a foil rule or crisp white ink. We bring paper samples to your free design session.

Will a minimalist invitation look cheap?

Can a minimalist invitation have colour?

Yes. Tone on tone, white ink on chocolate or charcoal, or one colour carried from the envelope to the reply card. Minimal is about restraint, not about white.

Where do the details go if the invitation stays simple?

On small cards in the same style, or on a wedding website that matches your invitation, so the main card stays clean.
