The Entente Cordiale was a series of agreements signed on 8 April 1904 between Great Britain and France which saw a significant improvement in Anglo-French relations.

So, when an English friend of ours announced his intention to marry his French fiancé, and we were tasked with designing the invitation, we thought it might form the basis of a nice idea.

Heraldic illustrations of a rooster and lion took pride of place for their very own entente trés cordiale and symbolised their union.
