About TavernCreative
TavernCreative is a Kent based wedding stationery studio, specialising in luxury wedding invitations and personalised paper goods, thoughtfully designed and printed without the premium price tag.
Our goal has always been simple. To make beautifully designed wedding stationery accessible, without compromising on quality, service or attention to detail.
By streamlining our process, carefully selecting materials, and designing everything in house, we are able to offer a high end finish, fast turnaround times, and a smooth, stress free experience from start to finish.
But quality goes beyond the product itself. From your first enquiry to the moment your stationery arrives, we focus on clear communication, careful packaging, and reliable delivery. Every detail matters.
Our aim is simple.
We aim to wow.

The Story of TavernCreative
TavernCreative began in a small bedroom of a house share in Lewisham. At the time, John was working full time at a luxury printers in Mayfair while freelancing on the side.
In October 2017, he took the leap, handed in his notice, and officially launched TavernCreative.
The dream was to make lots of sales and retire to a tropical island sipping Piña Coladas.
The reality was not a single sale for three and a half weeks.
With limited savings steadily disappearing, John was driving back to his hometown in Kent for the weekend when he heard the infamous Etsy cha ching. The very first sale.
From that moment, TavernCreative slowly began to grow. Reviews started rolling in, orders increased, and the studio began creating wedding stationery for couples across Kent, the UK, and beyond.
Like many small businesses, the pandemic brought uncertainty. Sales stopped overnight and everything paused for several months. But through the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, TavernCreative held on.
By 2022, weddings returned in force, and it was all systems go.
In 2023, the range expanded to include personalised gifts alongside wedding stationery, from custom travel accessories to thoughtful keepsakes. Today, we continue to evolve, investing in new finishes, tools and techniques to bring the best possible products to life.
You can now find TavernCreative on our website, Etsy, Not On The High Street, Amazon, and across social media. Most importantly, we remain a small, independent studio based in Kent, creating wedding stationery we are proud of and helping couples celebrate life’s biggest moments.

Fun Fact #1
We once hand-delivered an order to Spain (we were going on holiday there anyway, but it still counts).
Fun Fact #2
Our biggest ever order was for 10,000 invitations. A corporate event in the United States (yes, the shipping bill was wild).
Fun Fact #3
We’ve shipped orders to the Northern Mariana Islands. If you don’t know where that is, it’s near Guam. If you don’t know where Guam is… it’s really, really far away.
Fun Fact #4
We were named in Cosmopolitan’s Best Wedding Invitations list in 2021
Fun Fact #5
We make all of our wax seals in-house, and even produce our own sealing wax by hand... because we’re that into the details.
