Classical Garden Wedding Invitations*
Designed for the bride who prefers a classic look but with a modern flair.
Give your guests a preview of what is to come with the romantic Classical Garden Wedding Invitations. They are inspired by European gardens, with all the charm and taste of a stunning display of nature's abundance, and they carry that feeling in paper rather than shouting it. These custom made and personalized invitations are exclusively designed by HansonEllis and include envelopes for mailing, so what arrives in your box is ready to address and send.
Each 5x5 ivory card opens to reveal two panels. The background layer features a unique Anna Griffin floral print, the kind of dense, painterly bloom you would find in a walled garden in June. The top layer details your wedding information on a stylish white linen paper, so the names, the date, the time and the place read cleanly against all that colour instead of competing with it. Close the invitation and you discover a simple ivory card embellished with a black satin ribbon over a panel of floral print, which is the part a guest turns over in their hands before they open it.
Your wording is printed in-house by HansonEllis: the bride and groom's names, the parents' names on either side, the event date and time, and the ceremony location, set in the hosting line that fits your family. Optional RSVP and reception cards are available to go with the invitation, so the reply and the after-party details travel in the same envelope as the invitation itself. Everything about these invitations screams understated elegance and style.
Whether your affair is black tie or just the garden variety wedding, the Classical Garden Wedding Invitations will complement your day perfectly. Like a bloom on a rose, they are the introduction to a day full of love, laughter and memories. Use them to announce other special occasions as well. They are an ideal way to ask people to a bridal or baby shower, or to gather everyone you want at a milestone anniversary or birthday. No matter the event, these invitations capture your guests' attention, imagination and appreciation.
Type your wording above, set your quantity to your guest list, and send the first piece of your wedding out into the world.

Care and use
- Envelopes for mailing are included, so the invitations arrive ready to address rather than needing envelopes sourced separately.
- The closed card is finished with a black satin ribbon over a panel of floral print, so allow for the extra thickness when you weigh one filled envelope at the post office before mailing.
- The wording prints on a stylish white linen paper top layer over the floral background, which keeps names and dates readable against the print.
How the Classical Garden Wedding Invitations is personalized
- Pick the invitation format that matches your family: bride's parents hosting, groom's parents hosting, both parents hosting, or a custom invitation for wording of your own.
- Type your wording on this page, the bride and groom's names, the parents' names, the event date and time and the ceremony location, and add the response and reception cards if you want them.
- HansonEllis prints the invitations in-house and ships them with their envelopes, insured by UPS, FedEx or USPS, with tracking emailed to you.
Ideas for what to put on your invitation
- The traditional hosting line, with both sets of parents named above the couple, which is what the format options are built around.
- A short line of your own in the custom invitation format, for couples hosting the day themselves.
- The ceremony location written out in full, so guests travelling in can find it without a second message.
- The time written in words rather than numbers, which matches the formality of the ivory and linen paper.
- A reception line on the reception card, so the invitation itself stays uncluttered and the details travel separately.

Which one should I choose
Invitation choices usually come down to how much of the design the paper carries and how much the wording has to do.
| Classical Garden Wedding Invitations | Choose it when you want a floral, garden-inspired invitation in ivory with a black satin ribbon, and your names and hosting line printed in-house. |
|---|---|
| A plain printed card invitation | Choose it when the wording alone is meant to carry the day and you want nothing decorative behind it. |
| A digital invitation | Choose it when speed matters more than the envelope, and nobody is going to keep the invitation afterwards. |
For a wedding people should feel invited to rather than notified about, the printed 5x5 garden card wins, because it arrives in a hand rather than an inbox.
