Let's Prepare Request Cards♩

Request Cards are sticky notes included in wedding invitations.

Although small, they are important items that convey gathering times and request significant roles.*

Unlike the main invitation that includes the same information for everyone, Request Cards are personalized paper items that can be customized based on relationships.♩

While you can receive them when purchasing invitations or order them as an option, creating unique and original Request Cards that reflect your personality is also a wonderful idea.*
