The Original Traditional Design

Wedding Invitation

The original wedding invitation

The original wedding invitation design idea echoes traditional formal wedding invitations in its all script, centered layout. Makeover parameters called for a new look that is still elegant but not necessarily the stiff, formal look of most traditional wedding invitations. See how various designers approached this wedding invitation makeover project in the next few pages.

One point brought up in the discussions of these makeovers is the use in each makeover (and the original) of a dot instead of a hyphen in the phone number. Starrpoint writes, "I really dislike the modern use of a period, or dot in a phone number instead of a hyphen. ... The period and/or dot is becoming way overused." What are your thoughts?
