We think these card designs are a great inspiration for save the dates and are perfect for conveying key details about your event along with a favorite photo. Be on the lookout for this NEW anticipated design collection coming in 2009!

The tradition of wedding invitations began before the invention of the printing press. Due to high illiteracy rates, simply mailing out invitations was often not enough to guarantee a guest’s attendance. Therefore, monks were commissioned to hand create wedding invitation notices. Using their skill in calligraphy, the monks would create ornate invitations that were then hand-carried to each guest. And so the tradition of paper wedding invitations and calligraphy began!

Q: I really love the design on the Audrey pocket on your website, but we are having a small, intimate wedding and so I do not need all the accessory cards. Is there a way to use this design without getting a pocket?

A: Absolutely! Most of the designs on our website are shown to give you an idea of our most popular designs and products. If you like a design you see, but want to use it in a different way (i.e. on a square invitation instead of traditional) we can certainly alter it to be exactly what you want. Therefore, starting with the design you like, you can always add or remove a pocket, add a ribbon, etc. The options are endless!

An example of how a design can be used in multiple ways is shown on the left, which highlights our Josie design on both a flat, square invitation and on a traditional Claire pocket invitation.
