Rustic String Light Engagement Party Invitations

Two rustic engagement party invitations lit by string lights. Wood Slab Photo hangs a swag of lights over a wood-slab sign with drawn grain, frames a 4:3 photo window for the couple, and says We're Engaged; its back reads "Boots welcome, dinner and dancing". Its three palettes all carry a gold accent: Sage & Gold, Burgundy & Gold and Rust & Gold. Mason Jar Lights hangs fairy-light jars from a branch over An Evening Under the Lights, with "Rustic attire, cozy layers" on the back, in Burgundy, Sage Garden or Harvest Gold.

Hosting tip
For a barn or field party after dark, put the end time on the card as well as the start time. Guests with a drive home on country roads plan better when they know it wraps up at ten, and the venue usually wants the lights off by then anyway.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. One of these designs has a photo window for an engagement photo: drop in a picture and drag it until it sits where you want it. Type the couple's names, the date and the place; the back has room for the line a backyard party needs, such as what to bring, boots welcome, or where to park. The warm palettes print well on cream or light kraft card stock.

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 engagement party invitation wording ideas and the etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a rustic engagement invitation with a photo?
Wood Slab Photo has a framed 4:3 photo window under the string lights. Mason Jar Lights is illustration only.
Will it print well on kraft paper?
On a light kraft or cream stock, yes: the cards are drawn with dark linework on a pale ground. Dark brown kraft swallows the type, so print one test sheet first.
Is the gold real foil?
No, the gold in the Sage & Gold, Burgundy & Gold, Rust & Gold and Harvest Gold palettes is a warm gold-toned ink from any color printer.
