On-Trend Chalkboard Wedding Invitations
We searched the catalogues for a lovely chalkboard wedding invitations and an array of themes we think are a perfect match.
Whimsical Vintage Wedding Theme
Curly mustaches, waistcoats, and bare-knuckle boxing. Seriously, if your groom and groomsmen aren’t wearing monocles during the ceremony, you’re doing it wrong!
Ok, maybe that’s overdoing it a little, but we do think a touch of whimsy is always a great compliment to a vintage wedding.

We think chalkboard wedding invitations would pair beautifully with a Louisiana-style French Quarter wedding!
How about a parade down Bourbon Street, complete with a brass band leading to a garden reception? Think slow summer evening complete with a romantic jazz quartet, mint juleps, sundresses for the ladies, and linen shirts for the fellas.
