Wedding invitation

Clara & Henry

Guests come in from the cold in wool coats, and the vows are said before dark.

Wedding invitation: Pale blue deckled-edge card. Silver foil C and H monogram in a thin circle at the top, the names Clara and Henry in dark blue script, the date and venue below, then "Dancing until midnight."

Part of the TinselLux™ collection: invitations in stitched leather, tufted velvet, linen and satin.

The material is the card: linen with a visible weave, velvet with a nap, leather with its grain. It costs the same as every other invitation.

A wedding invitation like this one is for an afternoon high up, in deep winter. Cars come up a plowed road, guests stamp snow off at the door, and the ceremony begins while there is still light on the windows. The room is warm, the color scheme is pale blue and silver, and nobody is outside for long.

After the vows there is an hour of hot drinks and standing near the fire, then dinner, then the first dance. The night runs late indoors because the weather makes leaving early unappealing. Boots go back on near midnight, and the drive down is the last thing anyone talks about.

What to actually tell people

  • Tell people what the road is like A mountain venue in January needs a line in the details about the drive: the last stretch of road, whether it is plowed, and how early to leave. If you can arrange a shuttle from town, say so when the invitation goes out, not a week before.
  • Plan for coats and boots Put a staffed rail and real hangers inside the door, with a bench and a mat for boots. Many guests will arrive in snow boots and change into shoes, so leave a dry place for the pair they take off.
  • Work backward from the light On a January afternoon the light is gone not long after four. Give your photographer the ceremony time in advance and get the group portraits done first, while the windows are still bright.
  • Warm the hour between Between the ceremony and dinner, people want something hot in their hands. Hot cider, coffee and a tended fire do more for that hour than a cocktail list, and they keep guests out of the one warm corner by the door.
