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 palette

Seven colours. One world.

Ground#FAF5EA
Ink#2E4A26

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

The voices

Three voices. One suite.

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.

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.

Table Numbers Sp. No. 06

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.

The gang sheet

One approved design. One impression per guest.

Every impression below is the same delivered file — Place Cards — 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 Living Invitation

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 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.

1:∞

A chart that redraws itself

The table numbers above are generated from the event's own list, not typeset one at a time. The seating chart is drawn in the portal from that same list, so moving a guest between tables is a change of one field — not a new piece of artwork.

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.
