60thinvitation-1

This month my beloved grandparents have been married for 60th years – quite a feat for anyone.  A few days after Christmas with all the extended family visiting, we are going to have a fantastic party to celebrate, including having my grandparents renew their vows (I am beyond excited for that).  When my aunt came to me and asked if I would letterpress print invitations for the party, I jumped at the chance.  The colors of the invite, red and gold, coordinate with the party’s color scheme as well as with the holiday season.  I chose typefaces and illustrations that were elegant for this momentous and festive occasion.  My grandparents haven’t actually seen the invite yet, but I think we’re planning on presenting it to them framed, a keepsake of what will hopefully be an incredibly touching and memorable night with family and close friends.
