What Do You Get For Your Money
Hand Crafted
All wedding stationery from Yorkshire Wedding Invites is designed and hand crafted by our small family run team. Because everything is made in house we have complete control over every element of the production. From hand selecting the first piece of card used, right up to fixing the last ribbon or embellishment.
Regardless of if it is an order for 200 elegant luxury boxed wedding invitations or a small order of menus and placecards our process and standards remain the same. We have a small team of crafters who take pride in their workmanship and spend their days honing their craft by generating the most incredible creations.
Above & Beyond Customer Service
Lets face it every company claims they offer the best customer service in the world, but we didn’t want to make a pathetic meaningless claim like this.
We want to tell you exactly why our customer service is above and beyond. In 2020 when we were entering lockdown we joined the Entrepreneurs Circle to give us a new focus and learn more about how we can help our customers. As part of this we embarked on an amazing journey of They Ask, You Answer formed by an amazing entrepreneur Marcus Sheridan.
The emphasis of this is to simply answer the questions our customers have, particularly the uncomfortable questions most businesses are to scared to answer. The Big 5 Questions:
- Cost
- Price
- Comparison & Reviews
- Best Of’
- And of Course, Problems
In this day and age of the internet it only takes a matter of seconds for anyone to find out details about a business, so why try and hide them? We believe it is better to be honest and transparent to our potential customers, we tell you EVERYTHING, TRUTHFULLY AND IMPARTIAL.
And let’s be honest – it’s all for our own gain. Why wouldn’t we make things as easy as possible for our customers? This is just part of our improvements to our customer journey to ensure your experience is perfect no matter where or how you contact us.

Where Does My Money Go?
So far we have demonstrated that we are being transparent with you, laying our cards on the table, explaining about our pricing, services and what goes in to all of our products, all of our services no matter how big or small the order. But you may still be asking yourself ‘what I’m really paying for? What factors impact the price?’
So ladies and gents, we did say our cards were laid on the table…
Materials
Materials are our greatest expense each month, can we reduce those costs? yes we can, but we believe in only using the best materials and as such we do not compromise. You will need to make a decision, do you want the absolute cheapest products (if this is the case we may not be the right fit for you) or would you prefer the quality you deserve (in which case we may be right for you)?
We try to source as many of our materials as possible from within the UK, in fact our largest 5 suppliers are UK based manufacturers. As this section is about prices, materials alone equate to around 60% of our monthly outgoings with sheets of card costing anything from £0.67 to £2.89 per sheet of specialist card.
Wooden invites and products are all made using FSC approved suppliers ensuring the wood comes from only forests that are responsibly managed or from local natural fallen trees.
We do often get asked what happens to all of our off cuts of card and paper, well I am sure you will be pleased to know we don’t send them to landfill!! We take our environmental impact very seriously, usable off cuts are donated to several other craft groups, girl guides of others running card making sessions within the community. The remaining off cuts and scraps of paper and card that are to small to realistically be used by anyone are sent to be recycled.
We take the environment and conservation very seriously as such we have pledged to plant a minimum of one tree every month (when possible more than one) to help reduce our carbon footprint, help grow green spaces and help nature along the way.

Our Team
The business was first established in 2004 by our founder Steph, as she became busier and busier she required a little help so that is how I started working in the business (I was forced in to crafting, honest)!
In 2015 we took a huge step and opened our first bricks and mortar shop, the only bricks and mortar dedicated wedding stationery shop in the UK. In this time we took another massive jump of faith and decided to purchase our own laser engraving machine, which gave us a completely new and previous unthought about mountain of possibilities. With this fantastic new addition we were able to produce amazing products offering personalised gifts along with our wedding stationery.
In January 2020 we moved in to a new purpose built shop, much larger, all on one level and no damp!! The business was really taking off and we were looking at employing other members of staff to help. Unfortunately COVID hit and a number of lockdowns which certainly took their tole on our business. BUT WE GOT THROUGH IT!! The lockdowns gave us time to concentrate on improving the business and we now believe the business and the service we provide is the best it has been since opening our doors.
In 2022 demand for weddings had picked back up after COVID and we were again looking for help, We now have Laura who helps with general stationery construction but also runs the celebration cake and wedding cake side of things, Dylan our son who helps in the holidays and 2 other helpers who refuse to let me mention them on here!!
Things That Are Beyond Our Control
There are of course a multitude of external factors that can influence price. However, over the past 8 years or so, we have managed to incorporate the majority oft fluctuations in price into our annual price review. Things like the cost of materials, labour/cost of living and more all play a big part in our pricing.Each year our annual price review usually works out around a 5% price increase on most products. Of course where we don’t need to increase prices we don’t.
There have been some factors that I think we can all agree we weren’t expecting from 2020-2021 and beyond which I think made a significant impact on all businesses. Things like the COVID lockdowns meant no weddings were taking place and all weddings were postponed. Although there was nothing we could do about this we did find that our continued contact with couples who were booked in with us made a huge difference. Couples felt reassured that we were here and able to help them making changes etc, we even became telephone counselors for some couples, which we were more than happy about. Communication was undoubtable the key!
Although we do our very best to ensure supply issues are minimised it does occasionally happen as such if your order is on a strict timeline it may be necessary to source materials from other companies which may also affect pricing.
We do our best to dispatch orders through reliable courier services (samples and small packets through Royal Mail), unfortunately from time to time there can be delays and very rarely thankfully lost or damaged items. Please note we are unable to prevent workforces taking strike action which may also lead to a delay in you receiving your order.
