Welcome to our little corner of the internet! We are The Card Institution, a family-run business dedicated to creating alternative stationery that’s as unique as you are. Founded by Melisa in 2022, we specialize in designing and curating quirky, morbid, and one-of-a-kind prints, wedding invites, event stationery and more.

With a degree in art and a deep passion for graphic design, Mel pours her creativity and love for all things alternative into every piece we create. Our style is inspired by the darker, unconventional side of life, offering a twist on the traditional with bold and captivating designs.

We believe stationery should be as unique as the occasions it marks, which is why we offer both printed and downloadable options, all made in-house with love and care. Whether you're planning a wedding, a party, or just looking for a little something special, we’ve got you covered with designs that are anything but ordinary.

As a small, family-run business, we’re thrilled to be able to share our passion with you. Every product is a reflection of our love for alternative art and our dedication to giving you something truly unique.

We are always expanding are arsenal of designs but we are more than happy to offer a more bespoke service if you have as many budding ideas as we do! Our inboxes are always open.

Thanks for stopping be and please be sure to follow us on social media for updates and sneak peeks of new design drops!
