Wedding cards are an integral part of a wedding. it is a special day of our life. so, we want to make every moment of it special. a wedding card is the first step towards it. it is usually written in third-person language.
With the help of modern technology, few are able to print directly on envelopes using a mail merge with word processing and spreadsheet software. Wedding invitation design are of various types.

Commercial wedding cards are printed in the following methods-:

lithography, engraving, letterpress printing etc. nowadays, many DIY brides print cards on their home by using a laser printer or inkjet printer.

You can even try writing in calligraphy. Earlier, wedding cards were hand-written unless the list of the guest was too long.
But when mass-production was needed, engraving was considered as the best option. Tissues were used to place over the printed text.
This is done to reduce smudging or blotting, especially on invitations that are not properly printed or quickly mailed without letting the ink to fully dry.

But with time this has become irrelevant because of the modern printing technology. This technique follows new fashion trends.
Invitations are prepared in such a way that it can match the demands of the couple’s personal preferences.

In 2019, the foil stamping and foil sleeking invitations have come back.
