Consistent AI Couple Illustrations for Weddings — Save-the-Dates to Thank-You Cards
One illustrated couple. Locked. Render them across 5x7in save-the-dates, invitation suites, The Knot/Zola wedding website art, thank-you cards, guest book art, reception signage, and menu cards — 8 stationery items, one consistent couple character.
The problem
A wedding photographer offering semi-custom illustration packages has clients choosing from 3 style tiers (line art, watercolor, illustrated portrait). Each couple needs to appear on 6-8 stationery items: save-the-dates, invitation main card + details card, wedding website header (The Knot / Zola), thank-you cards, guest book cover art, reception welcome signage, and menu cards. Commissioning a custom illustrator for all 8 items costs $400-800 — erasing the package's profit margin. Using stock couple illustrations means zero personalization (the couple doesn't look like the client). Hand-drawing each piece takes 4-6 hours of the photographer's time that should be spent shooting and editing. A locked couple character reference, generated once and reused across all stationery items, makes semi-custom packages profitable at scale.
How wedding photographers and stationers use EZ Character
Semi-custom illustration package — 3 style tiers
Offer couples 3 illustration style tiers: clean line art (minimalist, elegant), watercolor (romantic, soft), and illustrated portrait (detailed, editorial). Generate the couple in each style from the same locked reference. One reference powers all 3 tiers — upsell from line art to watercolor to full illustration.
8-piece stationery suite from one couple reference
Save-the-date (5x7in, 1500x2100px), invitation main card + details card, wedding website header (The Knot/Zola, 1200x628px), thank-you card (5x7in), guest book cover, reception signage (11x14in), menu card (5x7in). Generate the couple in poses suited to each item — formal for invitation, playful for save-the-date, romantic for thank-you card. Same couple face across all 8 pieces.
Wedding website art for The Knot + Zola
The Knot and Zola wedding websites need a hero image (1200x628px) featuring the couple. Generate from the locked reference in a romantic pose. The website image matches the printed stationery — guests see the same couple art on the website they saw on the save-the-date.
Same-day edit teaser + social media preview
Photographers post a same-day edit preview to Instagram within hours of the wedding. Generate the couple illustration as a 1080x1350px Instagram post overlay. Same couple art that was on the invitation suite now brands the wedding-day sneak peek — cohesive client experience from booking to delivery.

Which tier fits this work
Start with a Job Pack. A wedding photographer shooting 20-30 weddings per year offers semi-custom illustration as a $200-400 add-on. The 100 Pack ($22.80, credits never expire) covers 12-15 couples per year at roughly 8 illustrations each — generate the couple reference + 7 stationery items per wedding, profitable at any package price point.
