Wedding Invitations for Small, Intimate, or Elopement Weddings

Not every wedding needs a grand affair — and not every invitation should feel generic.

For small weddings, intimate ceremonies, and elopements, every detail matters. At Ofelia Botella Studio, we specialize in hand-painted, bespoke invitations that capture the intimacy and spirit of your special day.

“We wanted something small and meaningful for our elopement in Santorini,” says Claire & Matteo. “Ofelia’s invitations felt like tiny works of art — every detail personal, every color perfect.”

Why Choose Custom Invitations for Small Weddings

1. Personalization is Key
   Your guest list may be short, but the storytelling is rich. Every invitation can feature hand-painted details of your venue, flowers, or cityscape.

2. Compact and Elegant Suites
   Even with fewer pieces, we craft complete stationery suites — invitations, RSVP cards, menus, and small keepsakes — without excess.

3. Memorable Keepsakes
   For small weddings, invitations often become cherished mementos for both couples and guests.

4. Stress-Free Design
   Our Designed in a Day service allows you to finalize your suite quickly, so you can focus on your celebration rather than stationery logistics.

Tips for Intimate Wedding Invitations

• Keep suites simple: Invitations + RSVP + a single add-on (menu or thank-you card).

• Focus on high-impact, personalized design elements instead of volume.

• Consider digital invites for extra guests while maintaining hand-painted designs for your core group.

• Include small, personal touches: venue sketches, a tiny illustration of your pets, or a motif inspired by your love story.
