Center alignment can lend a formal tone to a layout

Center alignment may be horiztonally or vertically aligned, or both. Elements may be centered on the page, within sections of the page, and centered with other elements on the page. In this example, each line of text and the large graphic are centered horizontally on the page. The main block of text and graphic are also centered vertically on the page. Center alignment generally gives a layout a formal appearance and is often seen in traditional wedding invitations and formal stationery.
