came to the Americas through the wedding practices of African slaves in the southern region of this land.

A broom decorated with ribbons was waved over the couples to "sweep" away evil from their path. The broom was placed on the ground and the couple jumped over into a new life in "de holy lan" of matrimony. The spirit of this ritual is remembered through the creation of the Diompe Hobe™ Wedding Invitations Collection.

Diompe Hobe™ (pronounced "Dump Ho-Bay") originates from an ancient West African dialect and means "jump over". Diompe Hobe™ is a unique collection of African-inspired wedding invitations, incorporating intricate die-cut designs that are rendered in full vibrant colors. Each invitation measures 6.75 x 7 inches folded,  an elegant 6.75 x 19 inches announcement when unfolded.

You can choose from our current collection, or work with our creative staff of designers and writers to customize the wedding invitation that best captures your wedding theme.

Our contemporary invitations will bring a traditional theme to your wedding that embraces our history, family and heritage.
