Our story
It started with a shoebox
When my grandmother passed, we found a shoebox under her bed. Inside were decades of wedding invitations — soft at the edges from being held so many times. She had kept every single one. Not for the paper, but for the people. Each card was a moment someone had said: we want you there.
We live differently now. Families are scattered across cities and time zones — a cousin in Toronto, an aunt in Dubai, friends three flights away. A paper card can't always reach them in time. But a feeling can.
So we built The Cordial Invite. We wanted the warmth of that shoebox in something everyone could open, anywhere, in seconds. An invitation that doesn't just inform — it moves you. The hush as the envelope opens. Two names in flowing script. A countdown that makes the days feel real.
Because your invitation is the very first thing your guests will ever hold of your marriage. It deserves to feel like the love it's announcing.
Every couple's story is different. We're simply honoured to help you tell the beginning of yours.
— With love, the Cordial Invite team
