Kensington Palace revealed photos of the happy couple's wedding invitations, which "follow many years of Royal tradition."
But, there's one detail that is a little bit different.

According to Kensington Palace, the invitations were made using American ink on English card, which sounds like a nod to the Harry and Meghan's nationalities.

The palace revealed that an apprentice named Lottie Small at Barnard Westwood—a fine printers and bookbinders based in London—made all the invitations using a machine from the 1930s.
"Lottie Small, who recently completed her apprenticeship, printed all of the invitations in a process known as die stamping, on a machine from the 1930s that she affectionately nicknamed Maude," read a tweet posted by Kensington Palace.
