Covenant — Bespoke Wedding Stationery
Covenant
By Ark Designs MZ
Bespoke wedding stationery, designed from scratch for one couple. No templates, no catalogue of layouts to choose from.
The name
Why Covenant
In Genesis, the covenant comes after the ark. It is the promise that follows the rescue — the thing that holds when everything else has been washed away.
A marriage is a covenant too. It seemed like the right word for stationery that opens a marriage, and it stays formal without preaching.
How this line is different
The design work is the product
Everywhere else on this site, layout is free. Here it is not, and that is deliberate.
Covenant suites begin with a ₱3,000 design retainer, credited in full against your order. It buys original concept work built around your wedding — your palette, your venue, your words — rather than a template with your names dropped in.
Look at the per-piece prices and you will notice they sit close to our standard invitations. That is the point. The printing is not what you are paying more for — the design is. If you want something lovely without commissioning it, the standard range is a good product and we will happily point you there.
Three packages
Priced per suite, minimum fifty
Where a Manila studio will quote ₱12,000 to ₱40,000 for a wedding suite, Covenant sits between ₱200 and ₱450 per suite. What separates the three is how many pieces the suite carries, and what it is printed on.

The Heirloom
from ₱450
per suite · minimum 50
- The complete suite on heavyweight cotton or textured stock
- Day-of pieces — menus, place cards, programmes
- Foil, wax seal and embossed detail, combined as the design calls for
- Consultation and printed proof
Foil is produced with our trade printing partners and wax seals are applied by hand here. Embossing uses our existing dies — decorative motifs, borders and frames — so it is the ornament that is raised, not your wording; we do not cut a new die for names or a monogram, and your text is printed. We do not offer letterpress or engraving. We would rather tell you all of that now than promise it later.
The process
Four steps, one couple at a time
Consultation
In person, or by video call. Booking from abroad is normal here — we built the process around couples planning a Philippine wedding from overseas.
Retainer
₱3,000 to begin, credited in full to your final order. This reserves your slot and starts the design work.
Concepts and refinement
We present directions, then narrow and refine until it is right. A physical printed proof goes into your hands before anything runs.
Production and delivery
The full run is printed, finished and delivered — or collected from the studio, whichever suits you.
Planning from abroad
For the balikbayan bride
If you are in Dubai, Singapore, Toronto or anywhere else and getting married here, you cannot walk into a showroom to see paper stocks. So we bring the showroom to the call — samples on camera, proofs couriered, timelines built backwards from your send-out date rather than your wedding date.
Video consultation is a standard part of this service, not a workaround.
Start with a conversation
Tell us your date, your venue and roughly how many suites you need. We will tell you honestly whether Covenant is the right fit — and if it is not, we will point you to what is.
