Holiday Wedding Invitations

These wedding invitations were created for a New Years Eve wedding! Stephanie came to me wanting a black, red and white color combination. We added the black and silver plume backing for a more elegant and classy touch. It turned out beautiful and would also be perfect for a Christmas-time wedding. The 5 x 7 pocketfold was turned to open sideways with the monogram tag on the front, invitation inside and pocket including a Directions, RSVP, Reception and Accomodations card.



















This invitation can be created in your choice of color combination to match your wedding style! Please email GraceAmoreInvitations@gmail.com or call (714) 514-3019.
