Loving the invitation! So colourful and very appropriate for springtime. Great photo too - hope they are getting excited for the big day 😃

I love the Green Man.

Schmutter · 04/04/2023 22:55

I love it (and I’m a staunch republican!).

Glad they are finally dropping the ‘consort’ bit for Camilla.

I love the green man

There, that’s the most excited I’m going to get about it.

SnottyLottie · 04/04/2023 22:57

Beautiful invitations!

I’ve also just read that Prince George is going to be one of the eight Pages of Honour. And that three of Camilla’s grandsons will also be in the group.

Well I’ve learned something new today - I’ve never heard of the green man before!

I hope Prince George enjoys it - he looks like a lovely lad. Big day for him as well then!

Ooh! The invitation is gorgeous. Do we know who designed it?

massivenamechnage · 04/04/2023 23:07

The press scaffolding was going up opposite Westminster Abbey this afternoon
Seems a little premature!

Government are spending £8 million on portraits of them for schools, council buildings etc.
In this day and age.
Disgraceful.
They should all take a copy from this thread.

Is that actually the invitation?! It looks very cartoon-like, not at all regal. I'm a big fan of good illustration but that's...not it.

Gunpowder · 04/04/2023 23:08

The invitation is absolutely beautiful. I’m not a royalist but I had a shiver of excitement!

Quveas · 04/04/2023 23:08

So terribly disappointed that I can't accept as I am on holiday. Excellent that £milllions are being spent on something that has already happened, whilst absolutely nobody in the UK is struggling to eat or heat their home.

MinnieEgg · 04/04/2023 23:08

I think it's lovely.

TokyoSushi · 04/04/2023 23:13

I really like it too, not what I expected!

Pretty invitation but not sure about their clothing in the photo, are they trying to look ordinary. His suit looks dreadful and she looks to be in crimpoline.

LadyVictoriaSponge · 04/04/2023 23:16

Not particularly impressed looks like a cheap flowery ‘blank for your own message’ 90p card from Tesco.

Maybe it’s the latest line from Florence and Fred?

i love the invitation not the photo so much...
little details like the neckline of camilla's dress obscures the necklace.
the cuff and sleeve on charle's suit is off. the whole suit color/pinstripe and the chevron tie pattern...it looks worse each time i look at it.
but i love the invite style :) green man!

@greenspaces4peace the hand in the pocket doesn’t help - I think he may be embarrassed about his swollen hands - Camilla’s dress could be a little more fitted as well - but they look happy

They do look genuinely happy, the invitation is pretty and not too formal. The hand in pocket thing is getting a bit odd. The only person I know who does this has a finger missing and is self conscious about it

TrashyPanda · 04/04/2023 23:27

I love the invitation!

the photo is rather sweet of them both.

That’s behind a paywall.
can anyone post the text?
it looks really interest8ng

thanks

Littlethingsmeanalot · 04/04/2023 23:29

That invite is very clever, from the c at the top,to all the nations emblems, the Tudor rose, the four leaf clover, the thistles, the daffodils etc. it’s lovely.

It’s to cover up his webbed lizard appendages, obv.
