DESIGN TIPS FOR CLASSIC BLACK & WHITE INVITATIONS

Black and white wedding invitations are the definition of timeless elegance. They work with every wedding style — from ultra-formal to modern minimal — and always look expensive. The power of a black and white invitation is in the typography. Choose a beautiful serif font for formality or a clean sans-serif for modernity. Add a single metallic accent (gold, silver or rose gold) for dimension.
