  • Bespoke wedding invitation suite design at Ananya Cards starts from £1,000 or 5,000 AED, and save the date design starts from £350 or 1,750 AED . Most couples invest from £2,500 or 12,500 AED for a complete suite including save the dates, invitations and on-the-day stationery. Printing is quoted separately depending on your finish and quantities. We share a clear, itemised quote after your consultation, in GBP, AED or USD.

Both are created by our London and Dubai team with the same luxury papers and finishes. Starting design fee is £400 or 2,000 AED.

  • Yes. Ananya Cards is a luxury wedding stationer in London and Dubai specialising in multicultural wedding stationery. Since 2006 we have designed bespoke invitation suites that honour one heritage or bring two or more cultures together, with modern designs that respect tradition. Our multi-lingual designers advise on cultural conventions and wording, so nothing is lost in translation.

  • At Ananya Cards we start by learning what matters most to both families, then interpret colours, symbols and patterns from each culture into one contemporary design. Cultural influences can be as subtle or as bold as you like. Founder Vaishali Shah leads every consultation, asking the questions that turn your brief into a suite that feels personal to you both.

  • We recommend booking your Ananya Cards consultation 4-5 months before you want to send out your wedding invitations. Save the dates usually go out 6-12 months ahead, or longer for destination weddings, with invitations following 2-4 months before the day. Bespoke design and printing takes around 2-3 months, and we guide you on timings from the first save the date to the last thank you card.
