Engraved for a Louisville family that demands only the finest, from the selection of a quality, one of a kind invitation, to the hand calligraphy place cards used at the dinner table, sets the tone for the formal evening ahead.
The gold leaf paper was gently placed on the red bordered card after the ink of the rose was laid, the detail embossed with an image that cradles the rose.
The text was engraved using a pantograph machine, hand etched and then all the lettering hand tooled for the true three dimensional look that engraving is know for.
The envelope used for this invitation was lined with a red tissue lining.
