New Ready Made Invitation Suite: Elation

New ready made wedding invitation suite, now available through Belletristics' Etsy shop: Elation!

Floral inspired swirls and flourishes grace the corners of this classy invitation suite. A bold mix of sans serif titling and ornate script fonts add to the overall elegance of this contemporary yet classic design.

Each suite includes the design of a matching monogram, invitation, and response card, along with your choice of address label or address design, and your choice of envelope liner or belly band design.  The designs will be customized with your information and colors.  The sizes can also be adjusted to fit your needs (as long as the orientation and shape stay the same).

Additional coordinating designs are available for both suites (table numbers, escort cards, menus, programs, seating charts, favor tags) - I'm working hard to get all the new designs up in Belletristics' Etsy shop, but send me a message (sarah {at} belletristics.com) if you'd like to see the matching items.
