In the olden days, scrolls were used to announce news and celebrations of great importance, or regarding people of high stature like kings and queens. Today, with the widespread access to newsfeeds and internet services, the scroll as a news-sharing device has fallen somewhat into disuse, however, it’s making a comeback in the world of wedding announcements. Scroll invitations hearken back to those royal decrees, presenting an air of glamour when your guests open their cards.
Although modern scrolls aren’t the heavy rolled documents of the past, they still carry the weight and importance of their historical counterpart. Scroll-style cards still evoke the same royal exuberance, making them perfect for your traditional or cultural wedding celebration. When you’ve put so much time, money, and energy into planning a ceremony and reception that will be remembered for years to come, you want an invitation that lets your guests know what kind of glorious party to expect.
Modern scroll invitations have put a bit of a twist on the classic by flattening out the scroll to fit into a mailing envelope, but the sentiment remains the same. You wouldn’t use a scroll to announce that it’s a nice day out, or decree that your favorite food is pizza. Scrolls are reserved for announcements of the most significant caliber, such as a wedding. They’re no longer the boring pieces of plain parchment they used to be either, as now they can be inscribed with metallic foil, delicate cutouts, or embossing for a three-dimensional effect, to give an already-elegant style an even more elevated sense of class.
When looking for a wedding invitation style to create an air of elegance and class as your guests open their envelopes, consider using classic scroll invitations by Regal Cards. Their royal history will give your invitees a taste of the opulence they can expect from a party such as yours, and will make your wedding stand out from the rest.
