Wedding Cards Special Design

Wedding Invitation


A wedding invitation is a letter asking the recipient to attend a wedding. It is typically mailed four to six weeks before the wedding date. Wedding invitations may be printed using one of the following methods: engraving, lithography, thermography, letterpress printing and sometimes blind embossing. They can be ordered from an artist, or vendor, specializing in invitations. For the artistically inclined, they can be handmade.



Often, wedding invitations are mailed in double envelopes. The inner envelope may be lined, is not gummed, and fits into the outer envelope. The outer envelope is gummed for sealing and addressing. Tissues are often provided by manufacturers to place over the engraved text, originally this tissue protected the engraving against smudging or blotting, but improved printing techniques mean they are now simply decorative.[1] Traditionally, the mother of the bride addresses the wedding invitations. However, if she chooses not to, the mother of the bride may outsource this responsibility to a professional calligrapher or a friend with good penmanship.




In countries that issue them, the envelope may be franked with love stamps. The United States postal service issues a love stamp each year specifically denominated to cover the double weight of the invitation and reply (a rate slightly less than the cost of two regular stamps).

For wedding invitations and favours that your guests will keep long after the wedding is over, Sunflower will make the most important day or your life truly memorable. Renowned as makers of “the better wedding invitations”, it is established as trendsetters of lifestyle products for weddings and special occasions, emphasizing creativity and innovation to complement Malaysia’s modern, sophisticated couples for the past 13 years.

Malaysia’s unique cultural heritage combined with its international perspective make our weddings an exciting challenge for wedding industry professionals, says Jeffri Lim, founder and managing director of Sunflower. For instance, the sheer size of a wedding while maintaining the “Wow!” factor, from wedding invitations to wedding favours, literally, from beginning to end. “With so many people to impress on such an important occasion, we take it seriously to exceed our customers’ expectations; they must be more than satisfied!”

With creativity as the cornerstone of Sunflower’s philosophy, “anything is possible” when it comes to designing quality custom made wedding invitations and favours, Lim offers. And that includes the budget. Just as no two weddings are alike, every Sunflower design is unique and reflects each couple’s personality, style and theme.

Your relationship with Sunflower begins with a personal consultation with its experts to discuss your requirements, and several follow-ups to refine the final artwork. An important thing to remember, taking into account the number of units and the scale of the wedding, is the amount of time needed to design and complete your order, as it can take from three days (express service) to as long as eight months!

Brides-and grooms-to-be may choose from a collection of over 350 readily customizable designs (the largest collection in Malaysia, according to Lim), or have their wedding invitations and wedding favours made to order. Lim encourages customers to bring their ideas, samples, or a completely blank slate! “We welcome any ideas you have,” Lim encourages, as nothing is too ‘silly’ or ‘ridiculous’.”

Wedding Favours by Sunflower

Traditionally, wedding favours comprise sweet offerings such as cookies, cakes, candy and chocolate, shares Jeffri Lim, founder and managing director of Sunflower. However, in the past eight years or so, couples have increasingly chosen more “unconventional” favours to complement the theme, or favours that are personalized and can be kept as mementos by guests.
