Handfasting and Wedding Invitations

Whether you're planning a Commitment ceremony, handfasting or a wedding, you want exactly the right look for your invitations, programs and thank-you notes. Paper stock, typestyles, artwork, colors and accessories are all open to your desires and imagination. From the traditional to the unusual, Pagan Papers can create an invitation that perfectly compliments your style.

Decisions, decisions...

There are a few things that you will need to make a decision about.

• Invitation Size
  Invitation papers come in several standard sizes from "quarter page" on up. Think about invitations you've received in the past. Were there any tht stood out in your memory? Remember that larger invitations require larger envelopes. Oversize envelopes require additional postage.
• Style
  Traditionally, your options are panel cards, single-fold, tri-fold, gate-fold and z-fold. Imagine it and we can create it; from a single sheet rolled into a scroll or a complex formal invitation with all the trimmings. Handmade, recycled and specialty papers can make your invitations truly memorable.
• Accents
  This can be anything from a vellum parchment to ribbons and dried flowers or even slices of agate
• Colors
  The colors you have chosen can be reflected in the paper, ink and/or accents.
• Typestyle
  Fonts compliment the theme of the wedding. We can usually match fonts, but some specific or specialty fonts may need to be purchased. Yes, runes and symbols are available!
• Artwork
  From illustration to photographs, there is no limit to the type of artwork you can have.
• Inserts
  Will you need response cards, reception announcements, maps or at-home cards?
• Finishing Touches
  Here's where you can really get creative with foil, glitter, seals, labels and other embellishments.

And, of course, the wording.

We are here to help you make these decisions and create an invitation that will truly reflect who you are as a couple.

Yes, we can print on your paper. We can also order your paper directly from any of the major preprinted paper manufacturers. Contact us for details.

One last thing: we can do split designs for those who need to keep certain aspects of their lives private from guests. Because Great Aunt Sally, bless her heart, just wouldn't understand.
