For the True Traditionalist

With its elegant Venetian script and formal wording, this engraved invitation plays by the rules -- except for the gold ink, which replaces classic black. Since the ceremony and reception are to occur in the same location, there's no separate reception card and, as is most traditional, the inclusion of the address indicates guests should respond via their own stationery. Bifold invitation by Mrs. John L. Strong. Calligraphy by John DeCollibus.
