When I first came across Bibi Invitations, a boutique company based in Canada which designs African wedding invitations, I was honestly a little taken aback, in a good way. African weddings usually include multiple day ceremonies… so to find an invitation company dedicated to gorgeous invitations specifically made for the traditional African wedding ceremonies was refreshing.
Bibi invitations was created when Ify and her team noticed a gap in the market for invitations that would capture the audaciousness of the African culture.
I reached out to Ify Ojo, and we instantly connected because of our love of celebrating culture. She quickly sent over a few different wedding invitation samples.
This lovely red, black and white invitation is called Segilola, an African ankara Dutch wax print inspired wedding invitation. Yes, you read right?!?! I love how the invitation lists which side of the family is wearing which color. It’s those distinct details that speak to my heart and that truly cater to the African culture.
