INVITATIONS These are usually printed on a parchment style of heavy paper or card, using a type style that imitates calligraphy. Though if the more authentic is wanted get a calligrapher to actually do the text. The invitations can be folded into 3 and tied with a satin ribbon. The decorative motifs that can work well include simple flowers, fancy scrolls, heraldic symbols and metallic embossing. Touches of rich, jewel-tone colours are very period, especially when combined with gold or silver. Invitations could include a sonnet, describing the location, date, the two getting married, the feast and other aspects fo the wedding in period terms. |

Medieval style borders,
initials or scripts can be used, including ivy leaves and long straight
borders. Colours in red, blue or green and gold.
Ideas for additional graphics are a lord & lady dancing, a knight & princess riding up to a castle or just a castle itself. Ideas for wording: Hear ye! Hear ye! Be it known that we request the pleasure of thy company at the ceremony of our marriage nuptuals on.... And be it further known that immediately following the ceremony invite ye to attend a feast held in our honour. (Names of bride and groom, places and times can be added where necessary) |
