Jane Austen Style Invitations...Any ideas?

Question

They would be for my graduation party next summer.

Any websites that I could go to for style ideas, paper, envelopes, general designs, authentic invitations from that time period? Any info would be great, thanks!

Answer 1

Have the invitation bordered with red roses, and have posh, but readable text.

Say "You are cordially invited' which means you are welcomed to come

then say "to sample and enjoy lagers, ales and continental drinks". IF you are serving alcohol.

perhaps for dress code say

"as a gentleman should dress"

and for ladies "as a lady should dress"
