Rennaissance Writings • 1/17/06
For those looking for an alternative to boring standard wedding invitations but who don’t have the time or inclination to try and make them by hand, Renaissance Writings may be just the ticket needed.
This North Carolina company has been making handmade wedding invitations since 1994, though I only found out about them last week. They make uses of handmade paper that often has dried flowers and other plants embedded in the sheets to produce unique invitations that are often “enveloped” with an outside custom paper pocket. Their designs range from classy and traditional to a more bold, modern or whimsical feel.
Pictured at right is just one of the many different design invitations that they specialize in. This beautiful invite makes use of a chamois colored pocket fold and handmade papers featuring embedded Orange Petals. It says that the outer envelope is 7 inches square and the invite also includes a RSVP card and envelope.
What is even cooler is the possibility of creating your own invitations by mixing and matching a huge variety of envelopments, pocket folds, portable pockets and folded cards in different shapes and colors. I believe that they have variable pricing for these custom orders, so you should check the site if you’re interested in them.
Although at first I thought they were a smaller operation, they certainly are no stranger to success. The company has been featured in a ton of magazines including Modern Bride, Martha Stewart Wedding, and Bride’s. You can visit the Renaissance Writings website at:
