Words to take to your supplier

An ink-and-ivory formal invitation
A double ink border surrounds centered serif names and a restrained, clearly separated date and venue.

What I want to borrow: Choose a formal hierarchy when names, occasion and setting should do most of the visual work.
Adaptation to discuss: Print a single border and ordinary dark ink instead of adding foil or a liner.

Questions for our supplier:
• Which event or events does this invitation actually cover?
• Are names, address, time, response date and response method correct in every language?
• Has one finished card been proofed and checked with the intended envelope and postal service?

Scope to confirm: Card dimensions, wording, quantity per invited household, envelope, print method and delivery.
Responsible people: One person collects factual corrections; each named host approves their wording; the printer supplies a physical proof.
Before confirming: Print at actual size. Read the smallest text, check contrast, verify event access and test one complete mailed pack.
Working example (replace with actuals): Illustration: 48 invited households plus six agreed spare invitations means 54 packs; guest count is not the invitation-pack count.
