I am gushing over the first wedding invitation of the year! I opened the mail today and saw the most beautiful envelope. It exuded sophistication and class; my heart melted when I saw it.
I know it sounds a little ridiculous to be so enamored with an envelope, but I must say that it is rare to receive a truly formal invitation. The address was hand written in beautiful calligraphy and just handling the envelope, I could tell that it was made of a fine paper and was lined. The envelope was hand cancelled by the post office to prevent damage. On the back, the return address was a custom stamp that complimented the style of the invitation. This is just the outside of the invitation!
On the inside, the invitation was a simple white card that opened up to an elegant black and white invitation. The only insert was the RSVP card and envelope. A bunch of junk didn't fall out, and there was not information about the gift registry - apparently someone is up to date on their etiquette!
Simple. Elegant. Perfect.
