Wax Seal Bridal Shower Invitations

Wax seal and ribbon bridal shower invitations that look like stationery from a fine paper shop. Wax Seal & Ribbon lays a silk ribbon band across the card and fixes it with a wax seal carrying the bride's initial. Vellum Band wraps a translucent-looking band around the middle, with a small seal and "Juliette Moreau" in script across it. Ribbon Bow ties a silk bow at the top of a fine double border. The backs repeat the band, the seal or the bow above details in small capitals. Pick Burgundy & Gold, Ivory & Gold, Sage & Ivory, Dusty Blue & Silver, Navy & Silver, Champagne & Blush or Mauve & Champagne.

Hosting tip

The drawn seal and band look best with one real touch added by hand: a strip of actual vellum or ribbon around the printed card, or a real wax seal on the envelope flap. Self-adhesive wax seals cost little and survive the mail far better than poured wax.

How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type the bride's name, the date and the place; the back repeats the frame and sets the details in small capitals, with one line for the registry, the attire or what will be served. These are made for good card stock: a smooth 110 lb ivory or cream sheet shows the fine lines best.

Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG to text or email, or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the bridal shower invitation wording ideas and the etiquette guide.
