INVITATIONS

Invitations have been used for centuries to formally announce and request attendance at special events. Their origins trace back to ancient civilizations, where messages were delivered by messengers or engraved on tablets. In the Middle Ages, handwritten invitations became common among the wealthy, often decorated with calligraphy and wax seals. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century made invitations more accessible. Today, invitations come in many forms — from elegant printed cards to digital versions — but they continue to serve the same purpose: bringing people together to celebrate meaningful moments.
