Vintage Newspaper Couple wedding invitation

Your names run as the banner headline in heavy burgundy capitals, with a ruled column of details and a serrated RSVP seal on foxed newsprint — a wedding front page whose lead picture is a likeness of the two of you, drawn from one photo.

Wedding invitation laid out like the front page of an aged newspaper, with “The wedding edition” in black capitals between double rules, “Rose & Henry” as a huge burgundy headline, a wide sample photograph of a couple leaning their heads together, she in a burgundy velvet and lace gown and he in a tuxedo and bow tie, and the details in a ruled column beside a round burgundy RSVP seal with a serrated edge

About this design

What makes it
feel like the table.

  • Aged newsprint
  • Burgundy headline
  • Black letterpress ink
  • Foxed sepia edge

The card is ruled into three bands like the front page of an old newspaper. At the top, “The wedding edition” sits between two double rules, the upper one broken at its center by a small scrolled ornament, and directly beneath it the couple's names stretch from margin to margin as the headline, closed off by another double rule with a curling ornament in the middle. A wide, square-cornered photograph then fills the middle of the page, set against a mottled tan studio backdrop. In the sample, a couple pose with their heads leaning together, both facing the camera: she wears a burgundy velvet gown with a high lace collar, a sheer lace yoke and drop earrings, and he a black tuxedo with a bow tie, a patterned burgundy waistcoat and a matching pocket square. Under the photo the page divides into two columns at a thin vertical rule, with the details stacked between horizontal rules on the left, one of them dotted with a small ornament at its center, and a round burgundy seal with a serrated edge holding the RSVP on the right.

It is styled as letterpress on old newsprint. The paper is mottled and toasted, darkening to a foxed sepia along the edges and into the corners, and the ink sits a little unevenly in the big burgundy letters, leaving a fine speckle. The rules and flourishes are plain black printer's ornaments, with no gold, flowers or ribbon anywhere, so the whole card keeps to burgundy, black and the browns of the paper. Against all that flat ink, the portrait has the depth and warm, even light of a formal studio sitting, and in the sample the velvet gown, waistcoat and pocket square repeat the burgundy of the headline and seal, which ties the photograph to the page around it. The pair shown are fictional: in your version, Inviti AI redraws the photograph as a likeness of the two people in the picture you add and keeps the headline, columns and seal in place, while the matching pieces carry the newsprint and burgundy type without any portrait.

“The wedding edition” is set in bold, widely spaced black serif capitals, like the nameplate of a paper. “Rose & Henry” is the headline and by far the largest line on the card, in tall, heavy burgundy serif capitals with a heavy ampersand, wide enough to span the page. The details are in narrow, condensed black serif capitals, one to a line: “Saturday, August 14 · 5 PM”, “The Old Printworks · Manchester” and “Vows · Supper · Dancing”. Inside the seal, “RSVP” stands large in cream serif capitals with “By July 20” beneath it, between two small cream scroll ornaments.

Good for

Where this design fits best.

  • A formal evening wedding in a converted warehouse, old print works or historic mill building
  • A ceremony with supper and dancing to follow under one roof
  • A wedding styled in burgundy, black and sepia, with velvet, lace and vintage details
  • A vow renewal announced like big news, with the two of you pictured on the front page
  • Writers, editors and printers, or any couple who wants an engagement photo to run as front-page news

  3. Inviti generates your version in this style. Proofread every name, date and address before sharing, and ask for a change if needed.
  4. Share it as an image or as one link. With Pro RSVP, guests reply from the link in their browser and you see every response in the app.
Good to know

About this template.

Will my invitation look exactly like this one?

It will follow this design's direction: an aged newspaper front page with “The wedding edition” between double rules, your names as a huge burgundy headline, a generated likeness of the two of you as the main photograph, and the details in a ruled column beside a serrated burgundy RSVP seal. Because Inviti generates each invitation with AI from your details, the arrangement and lettering can differ from this sample.

How do we get onto the front page?

Add one clear, well-lit photo of the two of you; this design needs it, and Inviti AI won't generate the invitation without a personal photo. The couple in the sample are fictional. Inviti AI redraws the photograph in the middle of the page with the two people from your picture in their place, aiming to keep your recognizable features, hair and expressions, while the headline, rules, details column, seal and your wording keep their layout. What you get is a generated likeness, not your photo dropped into the frame, and it shows at most two faces, so choose a picture with nobody else in it rather than one taken at a crowded table or with the wedding party. Look closely at both faces and proofread every line before you share it, and ask for a change if anything is off. The matching pieces are graphics without the portrait.

Can we change “The wedding edition” and the other sample lines?

Yes. Every line on the sample is an example. “The wedding edition” acts as the paper's nameplate, so a short phrase of your own keeps the look, such as “Stop the presses”, or “The anniversary edition” for a vow renewal. Your names become the burgundy headline, and first names, as on the sample, suit that big line best. “Vows · Supper · Dancing” can become your own three-part plan, and the seal holds only “RSVP” and a short date, so “By September 10” fits better than a sentence. The Old Printworks in Manchester is only the sample's venue. Read the headline and every detail line in the version Inviti generates before you send it.

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 “Wedding menu” card, a “Welcome” sign with your names and date, a milestone sign that repeats “The wedding edition” above your names, a “Cards & gifts” sign, a “Please sign our guest book” sign, a “Wishes for” sign with your names, a cake topper with both names, cupcake toppers with your initials, letter banner flags with your initials and an empty photo opening, food labels such as “Apple tart”, water bottle labels with your names and date, “A sweet thank you” chocolate bar labels, and “Thank you” cards and tags with your names, all in the same newsprint style without the portrait. Each piece is a separate generation; the full sample set is shown below.
