| Do you
recall the very first formal wedding
invitation you ever received? The
oversized envelope stuck out, all creamy
and smooth, elegantly addressed, perhaps
penned in calligraphy -- like a gift --
one envelope slipped inside another, a
wisp of tissue paper… and finally, the
exquisitely worded invitation itself.
You may have run your fingers over the
letters, artfully raised from the page,
the work of fine copper plate engraving.
This classic invitation has been the
traditional choice for generations, yet
it was by no means the first form of
wedding invitation |
