These custom invitations feature a classic and refined style. The distinctive oval shape adds a touch of uniqueness while maintaining a timeless elegance. The look is traditional, luxurious, and completely bespoke. The couple, Olivia and Franklin, worked with our dear Dorothy of Dorothy McDaniel’s Flower Market to create these oval engraved wedding invitations.

Engraving is a time-honored print method that involves pressing the paper into an etched metal plate to create a raised impression. It is historic and elegant. The use of engraving for this invitation in a script font and metallic silver ink is beautiful, sophisticated, and formal. The edges are beveled at 45º and then edge-painted in metallic silver to perfectly match the printing. Both of these embellishments add an understated opulence. Our 3-ply cotton paper is thick and luxurious, introducing a subtle texture. The paper displays a crisp impression and showcases the flourishes of the script font.
