The traditional wedding invitation has a long and rich history. The tissue, the double envelope, the wording all have stories that began long ago. These stories set created the foundation for the customs we still use today. In the 18th century, a paper invitation was reserved for aristocrats and people of high society. Now, as it did then, the invitation announces the celebration of one of the most important events in our lives. It is not only a statement but the first impression your guests will have of your special day.
