the invitation

The wedding is coming up in June and I'm leaving in a few weeks so things are starting to get very busy around here.

This is a prototype of the invitation I designed for my family to send out. If you've seen the other design, it was for my fiancee's family.

Unlike in Western culture where the Bride & Groom invite the guests, Pakistani tradition sees the parents hosting one day or another of the wedding. That's why it's not uncommon to see two invitations to the same wedding.
