Two Pack Shakur

That Amruta Walvekar is one mean wrapper. The sound of paper rustling is like music to her ears, and the way she dresses up a gift in it, sheer poetry. Under her newly-launched label Wrapistry, the resident crafts and sells boxes with bows (sheets and cards coming soon), a hand-made guarantee that your gift will never be dissed. She works out of a Pune studio, but ships to Mumbai if you'll pay for the courrier charges. 

In the UK, Amruta studied the art of jazzing up paper under “wrapping gurus” Jane Means and Arona Khan. She then earned an MBA and worked a corporate job, but couldn’t really get her head out of the ribbon drawer. As a result, she recently moved back to Pune to purse presents.

Here’s one way to fake it: Log onto Secret Wardrobe, an online rental hub that leases designer lovelies to the ladies, including Masaba Gupta’s iconic hand print sari, a fun black and white dress by Rahul Mishra, brown sequined sheath by Abraham and Thakore and more that you can try on for size at their Juhu studio.

You're Invited

‘Ravi weds Roma’ is set in a glittery heart that’s embossed on a bright red card covered in gold Om print butter paper. If you’re either Ravi or Roma, you’re probably not too pleased right now. And rightly so.

To save your wedding guests from RSVP revulsion, we scoped out Uttara Shah, a Savannah College of Art and Design graduate who recently started an appointment-only card design studio in Lower Parel. Uttara’s modus operandi:  She’ll meet with said Ravi and Roma and make sure their favourite flowers and prints, eco-chic ways (she does e-vites too) and even their New York fixation (see picture) translates on to the wedding card. “I don’t work with templates and never repeat a design,” says the graphic designer, who’s done a bunch of glitzy weddings, including a year planner invite for actor Imran Khan and Avantika Malik’s January (I) do.

This last bit of information has Ravi and Roma worrying how much they’ll have to shell out for a card – Uttara says it’s price on request and can’t do less than 300. Maybe we can make Chimanlal’s glittery Om paper work, they're thinking. And rightly so.

View a slide show of our five favourite wedding invites by Uttara here.
