A INVITATIONS

(an example of an invitation)

Emporer (groom's name) and his consort ( bride's name) would be most pleased to invite the party of...... who will make the evening of the ..... day in the month of...... more enjoyable by their presence at their wedding feast.

They would draw attention to the following: i. The couple will make their entrance at ....pm, and will expect their guests to be eagerly awaiting the arrival at ......... (location of venue). ii. It is essential that this invitation be handed to the scribe at the gate to secure admission to this most exclusive event. iii. Although optional, it would be appreciated if guests would present themselves in Roman Vestimenta. iv. Chariots should be arranged for ......pm for the homeward journey.

A Roman invitation ideally should be in suitable text style and using Roman numerals were applicable.

It should be in the form of a scroll to be at its most authentic, but if this is not feasable due to postage costs then just printed or even done by a calligrapher onto a scroll background on suitable paper.

Another idea is to have Roman style motifs or friezes around the outer edges of the invitations. Possibly even images of Romans to give an idea to guests of the style of clothing you would like worn. For more see the clothing section.
