Church Cards and Pew Cards
: |
|
In cases where the public is not
allowed in the church during a wedding, a small card has
traditionally been enclosed with the invitation. The following
is an example given by Emily Post:
Please present this card
at St. John's Church
on Tuesday the first of November
And for those who are to be seated in designated pews in the
church:
Please present this to an usher
Pew Number ________
On Thursday the ninth of May |

Invitation Style : |
|
Although handwritten or engraved
invitations were the only choices until this century, there are
various types of invitations to choose from today. |

Engraved : |
|
The most formal, this is also the
most expensive process. The paper is pressed onto a metal plate,
causing the letters to be raised on the paper. Once you create a
die, you "own" it, and the stationer will usually keep it on
file for you. |

Thermography : |
|
Described by some as imitation
engraving, this process infuses ink and powder together on paper
to create raised lettering. The letters are not pushed from
behind, and no metal plate is used, therefore, this costs about
half as much as engraved invitations. |
