Invites for the latest royal wedding have started to be sent out. One of the most talked about weddings is less than two months away, and 600 select guests would attend it. Made by Barnard & Westwood, who have been printing the royal invitations since 1985, the black and gold ink print surely make the cards look subtle and royal.
On Thursday, Kensington Palace officially announced that the royal invitations have been issued. The tweet read, “Invitations to the wedding of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have been issued in the name of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales.”

The wedding ceremony will be held on 19 May, at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. Nearly 600 guests will be attending the early lunch hosted by the Queen at St. George’s Hall. Later, 200 guests would proceed to attend the private reception hosted for Meghan and Harry at Frogmore House.
Other than the pictures of the invitation stack, a video showing their making was also released on Twitter by the official handle of Kensington Palace.
