Eat, Drink, and be Married

Description
The submitter told the following story about the artifact's creation: "The main themes behind our invitation were understated, inviting, and elegant. Our wedding colors were black, white, and burgundy so we decided that a black and white theme would keep the invitation clean and easy to read. We created the invite ourselves, using photoshop and various free vector sources. Using a couple existing invitations as inspiration, we tried to keep the invite simple, but hopefully professional. We bought a heavy weight cardstock and simply printed them at home. Probably the most time consuming part was cutting them all by hand. As for wording, the phrase “Eat, Drink, and be Married” was one we found on several existing invitations and we enjoyed the welcoming, lighthearted tone. The rest of the wording is very simple, and the fonts were hopefully evoking a somewhat classy tone, but not overly formal."
