Parchment
An old manuscript: sepia, gold and illuminated initials.
Parchment looks like a document that has been sitting in a drawer for a hundred years. The ground is not an even cream: it has fibres, blotches of different strengths and darker edges, exactly like real aged paper. A double gold rule runs over all of it, finished with gold corner pieces. The names are set in large, widely spaced letters, as an inscription rather than a signature.
Parchment in detail
What makes this one particular is the illuminated initials: the first letters of your names sit in gold panels with tiny gold dots in the corners, like the decorated capitals of a medieval manuscript. No other design we make does that. The gold rule follows every edge down the full length of the page, so the countdown, the schedule and the RSVP all stay inside the same document.
Right for you if…
- The wedding is in a castle, a great house, an old villa or a cloister
- You want serious, formal elegance without any flowers
- You want your initials to be the main motif of the invitation
- You are after something warm that is neither pink nor pastel
What this design includes
Whatever the design, every digital wedding invitation carries the same content here, and only the look changes:
- Online RSVP: who is coming, how many with them and their names, allergies, a song request and a note to the couple
- Schedule of the day: from welcome drinks to dinner, each with its own time and venue
- Calendar and maps: buttons for Google and Apple Calendar, and directions to every venue
- Your photographs: you can add up to two, though this design works without them
- A countdown to the big day, and an occasion line under your names
- One link to send by text or WhatsApp, and any change is visible to every guest straight away
How to build this invitation
You put the invitation together for free and watch it come together as you type, and you pay only when you want to publish it and send it to your guests. The whole thing takes about ten minutes:
- Enter your names, the date, and the time and venue of each event
- Pick Parchment (or any of the 35 designs, since you can change your mind)
- Add your photographs and a note to your guests
- Publish and share the link, and the replies land on your dashboard
Every plan includes all 35 designs, so which one you choose does not affect the price. The differences are set out on the pricing page. Not sure which design to go for? This helps: how to choose a digital invitation.
