Lily Allen has sent out her 'save the date' cards ahead of June 11 wedding to Sam Cooper.
But rather than a stuffy traditional notification, the pop star turned boutique owner has opted for a comical invitation that shows her and her fiancé's heads superimposed on to a black and white photograph of a couple sitting atop a farm tractor.
Lily, 25, appears as a plump woman in a frumpy cardigan with a handkerchief tied on her head, while builder Sam, 32, wears a raincoat.
Save the date: Lily Allen has sent out a notification of her June 11 wedding to Sam Cooper
The card tells guests to mark June 11 in their calendars for a ceremony in Gloucestershire, near their home.
The save the date card has been released on the same night that an particularly emotional episode of the Channel 4 documentary featuring the singer is to air.
Lily has previously pleaded with fans not to watch Lily Allen: Riches to Rags, saying she is now in a completely different mindset to when the show was filmed last year - prior to losing her baby in November.
She tweeted earlier this month when the show first aired: 'We started filming it a year ago and I feel like a completely different person that the one that features in the programme.
Engaged: Sam Cooper proposed to Lily over Christmas
'I'm inclined to Ask you not to watch it cause quite frankly I am embarrassed.'
The footage includes Lily first announcing her pregnancy last year, and also discussing losing her first baby in 2008.
Lily is now looking to the future as she excitedly plans her wedding to Cooper.
A few weeks ago she arrived in Paris to meet with Karl Lagerfeld to discuss her gown.
‘I’m here to see Karl for my wedding dress,’ she said at the time.
Lily apparently burst into tears when Cooper popped the question on Christmas Day, just weeks after she had suffered a miscarriage.

Following their ordeal, the couple had jetted away for a last-minute Christmas break.
They spent several days in Australia before moving on to the exclusive Amankila cliff-side resort on the Indonesian island.
Mr Cooper, 32, proposed at sunset on the balcony of their £800-a-night suite, which overlooks the Indian Ocean.
A friend of the couple told the Mail: ‘It has been a terrible time for Lily and Sam, but they are totally in love with one another.

‘It all came out of the blue - but Lily was overwhelmed and they are both overjoyed. They can look to the future now.’
The couple celebrated in the hotel bar with fellow guests, drinking champagne and cocktails until the early hours.
One onlooker said: ‘Lily was telling everyone that she and Sam had just got engaged - they could not keep the smiles off their faces. It couldn’t have been more romantic.
'The resort is just so peaceful and picturesque.’
The couple have been dating since July 2009. Miss Allen has described Mr Cooper, a builder and decorator, as a ‘normal bloke’ and ‘the love of my life’.
