Onyx black and white wedding invitations with Ruby jewel brad
Rubies have always been held in high esteem in Asian countries, they were laid beneath the foundation of buildings to secure good fortune to the structure. Rubies are also associated with a 40th wedding anniversary. To make this sophisticated ruby wedding invitation, we used the heavyweight Onyx black background card and white overlay, embellished with a Ruby crystal jewel brad. The white overlay was printed with vintage clip art featuring traditional designs from India, available from Formal-Invitations.com for $14, which includes a book of 800 designs and cd of scanned images. The price of the invitation was also a sweet 62¢ each, also from Formal-Invitations.com. As a bonus, the papers and envelope are made from 100% post consumer fibers, making it a smart, earth-friendly choice.
Beau-Coup.com offers these sparkling crystal paperweights, cut to resemble a brilliant ruby, a novel gift idea for weddings, bridal showers and anniversary parties.
