Formal Black Damask Wedding Invitation

Formal Black and White Invitation

Who needs an Engraved Invitation when there’s This!

Do you really need to say that this wedding invitation is requesting you to attend a formal event requiring a black tie? If pictures speak a 1,000 words, then surely this is 2,000 words. It’s a finely detailed 220 LB 100% cotton behemoth and it beckons your attendance to the formal event of the season. If you’re looking for that “Hollywood” invitation or one that would have been used by The Great Gatsby, here it is. It has a black paper backer designed with the damask pattern, which is to say that, in case you missed the front, the back if fantastic too! The labels on the these elegant scallop edge luxury mailing envelopes are letterpress printed, leaving enough room for your calligrapher to properly address it to your guests.

Accommodation Cards

The bride and groom thought it best to include a travel set with all the necessary accommodation and travel information cards for the out of town visitor so they could easily carry it with them on their journey. And although we live in the computer age, the wedding website is printed on a separate card, not on the invitation so that even “Miss Manners” would approve of its use.

This set is elegant simplicity. Bright white heavy weight cotton paper with black ink. All made in letterpress printing, although, we doubt anything printed was this nice 400 years ago, unless it was by hand. If you need a formal invitation, consider using this larger size piece and make it simple in black and white. Consider variations like black paper with a white foil stamp and silver paper with a black foil stamp. The point is that if you need formality, use black and white, it’s timeless. Change the size and rearrange it a bit and you can add modern sophistication. It looks great as a 6.75 X 6.75 square too.
