About this design

What makes it
feel like the table.

  • Cream paper
  • Table navy
  • Tomato red
  • Candle ivory
  • Basil green

A sweep of deep navy runs down the right side of a cream card like a tablecloth. On it stand three lit taper candles in ceramic holders, blue ikat-painted plates, a cluster of cherry tomatoes on the vine and fresh basil over a red-and-cream striped cloth.

The style is painterly and rich, like a still life of a long Italian dinner table. “The night before” sits in small red capitals above “Rehearsal Dinner” in a tall navy condensed serif.

Good to know

About this template.

Will my invitation look exactly like this one?

It will follow this design's direction: candles, ikat plates, tomatoes and basil on a striped cloth over navy. Because Inviti generates each invitation with AI from your details, the arrangement and lettering can differ from this sample.

Can I use it for a dinner party that isn't a rehearsal?

Yes. Change the headline to “Dinner party” or “Supper club”; the candlelit table works for any dinner.

Can I print it?

Yes. The invitation is designed at 5×7 inches, and the app's print preparation can lay out copies on A4 or US Letter with crop marks. For the sharpest print, generate at full resolution rather than the introductory 1K size.

What matching pieces are there?

With Pro you can request matching pieces such as a dinner menu, a welcome sign, food labels, place-style labels, a cards and gifts sign and thank-you tags. Each piece is a separate generation; the full sample set is shown below.

Are printed items included?

No. Inviti creates the artwork files. Printing and any physical supplies are up to you.
