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. |
