Art Deco & Black Tie Wedding Invitations

Three suites for an evening wedding with a dress code. Gatsby Fan draws a Deco fan with geometric scales, in Black & Gold; Deco Arch builds an arch around a sunburst, in Navy & Gold, with a sunburst medallion on a stepped base on the back; Black Tie Minimal is a hairline border with corner diamonds, in Champagne. The samples spell out the evening, "at seven o'clock in the evening" and "Black tie · dinner and dancing to follow," and Gatsby Fan's details card adds "Dancing until midnight."

Planning tip

Say the dress code in the same words on every card that carries it: Black Tie Minimal prints BLACK TIE as the invitation's last line and repeats it under DRESS CODE on the details card, with "An adults-only celebration" beneath.

How it works

Names, wording, colors, download

Open a design above in the maker. Type both full names, the date and time, the venue and the city once; the formal cards spell the date out (Saturday, the twelfth of June) and the save the date, RSVP card and details card fill in from the same words. Pick a hosting wording if your parents are hosting, and print on a smooth ivory or cream cover stock.

Choose one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download the whole suite as Letter or A4 sheets with crop marks, any single card as a PDF, print-shop PNGs with bleed, a Word file, or a phone-sized picture of the invitation to text. For the words, see the wedding invitation wording guide; for envelopes and timing, the wedding invitation etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

Will Black & Gold use a lot of printer ink?

No. The paper stays light and the black and gold sit in the linework and lettering, so there is no solid black background to flood the page. The gold prints as a gold-toned ink rather than foil.

Is there a deco design that isn't black?

Deco Arch opens in Navy & Gold and also comes in Plum & Silver, and Gatsby Fan has Emerald & Gold and Navy & Silver. Black Tie Minimal opens in Champagne, with Black & Gold and Burgundy & Blush as options.

How do I say the wedding is adults only?

Pick adults only in the who-is-hosting wording picker. Black Tie Minimal's sample also says it on the RSVP card, "Adults only, please," so guests see it twice without it sounding stern.
