Prince Charles is officially hosting the celebrations on May 19th, as shown by the official unveiling of the wedding invitations by Kensington Palace. The invitation features the Three Feather Badge of The Prince of Wales and was produced by a machine affectionately known as ‘Maude’ – God bless Maude!
Lottie Small, who recently completed her apprenticeship, printed all of the invitations in a process known as die stamping, on a machine from the 1930s that she affectionately nicknamed Maude. pic.twitter.com/kWs2RFx7nN

The invitations, set to be posted via Royal Mail (naturally) this week, have been produced by the printing company, Barnard & Westwood, which has held a Royal Warrant for Printing & Bookbinding by Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen since 1985. To symbolise the relationship, the invites have been printed with American ink on English card whilst being printed in gold and black. Names of the guests will be later be hand written by a calligrapher.
