The finished suite

Nine pieces. And then one for every guest.

Every piece below is the delivered artwork, not a mock-up of it. The panel is live: put a name in it and watch each piece that carries a name take it, exactly as it does in a real print run.

The pieces that read the same for the whole room carry no name at all — and we say so.

The pieces are listening.

Save the Date

Delivered here as one design.

One design here

Delivered here as one design. It is a piece the platform personalises per guest wherever a suite ships its platform edition.

no placeholders

Each guest's own code — live, and it scans. No piece in this suite carries a zone for it, so it reaches the guest through their personal link.

Envelope Liner

Not every piece should be personalised.

A shared piece

Not every piece should be personalised. This one reads the same for the whole room, so it carries no placeholders — one design, one print run.

That evening, at home

Their own link

The same card. And also a page.

At the guest's own link the platform renders Invitation — this file, not a separate digital version — and adds a reply panel to it. On the left, as it prints, with no trace of the panel. On the right, as it opens.

As it prints
As it opens at their link

The panel is injected by the platform, not drawn by the design, and the printed card carries no trace of it. The right-hand state shows how it reads; for the platform to compose it into this piece, the file declares the empty container the Living Invitation expects.

What the platform sets

This piece already carried a guest's name — it shipped showing real ones. The platform simply sets each guest's own.

The inks the evening is printed in

Three colours. One world.

Ivory#F9EED6
Terra#A0472F
Gilt#B8934E

Not decoration — every one of these has a job, and they are the same inks the pieces below are printed in.

The gang sheet

One approved design. One impression per guest.

Every impression below is the same delivered file — Place Card — with a different guest's name set into it, exactly as it comes off a real run. Not a mock-up: it is the piece shown above, personalised by the same code. The names are examples.

12 guests shown across 12 sheets. A real list simply continues — one run, one file per guest.

The voices

Two voices. One suite.

Aa

Cormorant GaramondThe voice that names

Aa

Hanken GroteskThe voice that explains
The platform

And this is the software.

The screens below are the real interface, in the real stylesheet, doing the real arithmetic. The guest list is invented — no real client’s list appears here, and none ever will.

Client Portal · Your GuestsFifty-five guests, 31 envelopes. The grouping is done by the platform before anything is addressed.
Client Portal · RSVP TrackerReplies counted by household, so a reminder goes to a front door rather than to four people in one kitchen.
Client Portal · Guest notesAccess and dietary notes stay attached to the guest who wrote them.
How far it goes

The same identity, carried further.

These were not commissioned and were not delivered. They are new artwork showing how far this identity reaches — the same hand, in formats this commission did not include.

The gate sign, specified — A Garden FêteThe artwork and its substrate, ink, laminate and fixings — because eight hours of June is a design constraint.
What that is worth on the day

The part you cannot see from a photograph

9

Print files, not templates

The nine designs above are delivered as print-ready files — at the true trim size, with the backgrounds and the fonts the printer expects. The one that carries a name becomes a personalised file for every guest on the list.

01

Only what should carry a name

One of the nine pieces carries a name. The rest read the same for the whole room, so they print once — and each one says so.

1:2

One code, two jobs

Each guest's own code opens their own page. The same code, read at the door, marks them arrived — so the host knows who is in the room without a clipboard.

The invitation is also a page

The same card, at the same guest’s link, with a reply panel drawn into it. Not a separate digital version in a different style — the design itself, continued. It is further down this page, in both of its states.

Before any of this, there were two worlds.

Two worlds were built in full. You chose Everyone She Grew. The Notebook is still there, whole.
