1978

Here's a 'selfie' we took in the English countryside in 1978 to illustrate our home made wedding party invitation. We were too broke to host a modern day extravaganza so we had a small family wedding with 16 guests followed a week later by a house party.

We used Letraset - the old school 'desktop publishing' tool of the era - to make the template for the photocopy master. Each sticky-back letter was painstakingly pasted onto the 8x10 photo. Look closely and you'll see that our letter alignment was a bit wonky. Today we'd bang this off on a computer in 30 seconds!

The old fashioned English stile in the background was very symbolic to us at the time, but probably lost on most recipients of the invitation :-)
