Sweet Sixteen Invitations Set on Vellum
A sweet sixteen is the first celebration that feels like a real party, and a set that looks as polished as the evening makes everyone take notice. These sweet sixteen invitations are made of soft translucent vellum with foil lettering, and the guest of honor’s name glows in flowing script at the center of the card. The words Please join us for a celebration honoring seem to rise gently through the sheet, so the invitation feels refined from the very first glance.
Everything is personalized for your celebration. Add the name, the date, the time, the venue and a line such as dinner to follow, and choose wording that is formal, warm or playful. A digital proof is prepared first, so you can see exactly how your 16th birthday invitations will look, and changes are available until every detail is right. A matching details card can be added for the schedule, directions and other information, and the envelope can be finished with foil lettering for the return address. A wax seal is available as an optional add-on for a ceremonial touch, so the whole suite feels like one story.
Vellum has a delicate, dreamy quality that guests notice the moment they hold the card, and it suits a ballroom, an event center or a dinner with family and friends. After your approval, your order is proofed, corrected and prepared over 1 to 2 weeks before it ships. It is an invitation the guest of honor will want to keep long after the last song.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not to worry. Nothing is final until you approve it. During the digital proof stage you can add or adjust any missing information before anything goes to print.
After you order, a digital proof of your suite is prepared for you. You review it, request any changes, and only once you are happy does it move to print. Layout and revisions are part of the process from the start.
Absolutely. The wording is yours to write, traditional, modern or entirely your own voice, and the layout adapts around it. You can also have your suite in another language: just send your phrases in the language you would like, and they will be set into the design.
Yes. You are always welcome to send several, and you can also swap the image during the digital proof stage to see which one you love most.
Yes. On photo designs, a high-resolution image becomes part of the suite, layered beneath vellum or printed on fine art paper. A QR code can be added to the details card, linking guests straight to your wedding website.
The digital proof is your chance to catch anything. Nothing prints until you approve it, so check names, dates and spelling carefully at that stage.
Colors can vary slightly between screens and print, since every monitor renders differently. The proof gives you a clear preview, and foil in particular has a shine no screen can fully show.
Crafting takes about 2 weeks, with layout and revisions included in that time.
Shipping is arranged separately once your suite leaves the studio: UK 3 business days, USA and Canada 5-10, Europe 2-5, Australia, Asia, South America and Africa 4-7. Every order ships with tracking, and duties are included.
