The Wedding Invitation Worth Keeping, According to Les Souvenir

Bespoke invitations and gifts conceived as connected expressions of the same celebration.

The invitation sits within a complete presentation.

2 minute read

An invitation introduces a wedding through something a guest can hold. Its materials, presentation and small details begin to suggest the world the hosts are creating. A gift can carry that introduction further, allowing part of the celebration to remain after the date has passed.

Les Souvenir, founded by Priyanka Morjaria, brings invitations and gifting into one practice. The brand’s range extends from couture invitations and bespoke hampers to idols, stationery, kitchenware and dinnerware.

One Idea Across Several Objects

Working across these categories creates an opportunity for continuity. The invitation and the gift can share a sensibility without becoming identical objects. Material, colour and detail can establish a family resemblance, while each piece retains its own purpose.

Les Souvenir places fine materials and personalised craftsmanship at the centre of that approach. The wedding becomes the connecting idea, guiding how the different elements are considered.

The illustrated chest and open invitation presentation in the photographs give that continuity a tangible form.

Give the Keepsake a Life of Its Own

Objects intended for the home invite a different kind of attention. A piece of dinnerware or kitchenware may be encountered repeatedly, gradually becoming part of everyday life. Its value extends beyond the first presentation.

For the wedding host, that offers a thoughtful way to frame gifting. The gesture can honour the occasion and still make sense afterwards. The most lasting reminder is often something a guest chooses to keep close and use.

The open presentation reveals another layer of the commission.
