Very nice, and it's so old. It was a smart person who saved two of them. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a lovely genealogical treasure!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I think it is interesting that the basic wedding invitation has not changed in the past 150 years.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments. This is a real treasure and yes, Heather, it's interesting that the basic wedding invitation hasn't changed in all this time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful invitation - is it embossed?
ReplyDeleteYes, the A and L are embossed as well as the business name and address. Thank you for reading and commenting.
DeleteGorgeous, and I was amazed, too, that it could almost be from today. Saved for posterity, but even so, could they imagine how much it would mean to you 140 years later.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love that I have ancestors who saved treasures like this so I can share them on my blog today! Thank you for reading and commenting.
