Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Party Book
Within recent years, the use of a card instead of a folded sheet for invitations other than wed dings and the most formal dinners, has become quite general. Either plate or suede finished stock may be used with perfect propriety, but the latter is considered a little more elegant. The double envelope is invariably used for folded sheets the inner one being ungummed and bearing only the name Without the address and the single envelope for cards.
The most fashionable styles of engraving for wedding invitations at the present time are Shaded Old English and Shaded Roman. Less expensive than either is the medium heavy Script, which is always in good form, although the very fact of its lower cost causes it to be shunned by the ultra-fashionable.
