50th Anniversary Invitations ~ The golden years!

What's more exciting than creating wedding invitations?!?!

Creating 

50th Anniversary Invitations!!!!! 

Wedding Anniversaries date back to the Holy Roman Empire. Wives were crowned by their king with a silver wreath on their 25th anniversary and a gold wreath on their 50th anniversary. Although we no longer crown our spouses for this special occasion we do continue with the traditional silver and gold theme. 

This lucky couple was being surprised with a party in honor of them and their 50 years of happiness. When their daughter came to us she said she wanted something traditional, simple and also wanted to include a wedding picture. We did just that.

We decided to go with a traditional fold over invitation in a black smooth card. On the outside a simple tag reading, 50 years is bordered in gold and attached to a shimmery gold sheer ribbon. On the inside Lee & Barbs names are in the same gold color. With all the details on the party on one side, it leaves room for a picture on the other side.

 We used a black and white wedding photo and mounted it with the old school style photo mounts. Just that little extra detail to bring old and new together. 

We decided to use basic colors like black, white and gold because fifty years ago these were the basic colors used. The party was set up like a traditional wedding reception. When you enter the reception room a album that held wedding memorabilia showcased the evenings invitation. Tables had white linens with gold napkins, beautiful flower arrangements on each table with gold votive candles.

The family put a lot of thought into the evenings details. The couple marriage certificate was framed for every one to see. Their original wedding album and wedding portrait was on display along with the brides wedding dress and veil. 

Congrats Lee & Barb! Here's to 50 more years :)
