THE HISTORY OF INVITATIONS


taken from here (credit to the owner)
Have you ever wondered about the history of an invitation? How were people designed and created it in the past?

In the past, an invitation was only used by elite people. Around 18th century, the aristocracy in England and France used the invitation for their social events. Kings, Queens, Ladies, Lords, Dukes, Duchesses would be the only one who used such a thing. They would send a hand written announcement of their events to their guests. Usually, the announcement would be written by a secretary or someone who has a beautiful handwriting. People in the past give more attention in calligraphy used in the invitation, because the calligraphy indicates the level of education of the writer.
