Art Deco Wedding Invitation Maker
The Art Deco style takes its look from the 1920s: geometric gold lines, fan shapes and a luxurious navy or emerald background, with elegant sans-serif titles. It is glamorous and graphic, and it looks formal without being traditional.
Enter the couple's names, the date and the venue and PiCraft places them within the geometric frame. Print the card with bleed or send the share image to guests who live far away.

Art Deco examples
Who the Art Deco style suits
Grand Gatsby-style weddings
Ballrooms, historic hotels and theater venues match the 1920s glamor of the artwork.
Black-tie evening receptions
Gold lines on a deep navy ground read as evening wear for the card, so guests expect to dress up.
New Year's Eve and winter weddings
The dark, jewel-like palette feels at home in winter, with candlelight and champagne.
Getting the best Art Deco result
- 1
Plan for a dark background
The navy or emerald ground uses a lot of ink. A print shop gives a richer, more even result than a home printer.
- 2
Let the geometry breathe
Fine gold lines need space. Keep optional lines such as time or RSVP short so they do not clash with the frame.
- 3
Pair with metallic envelopes
Gold or champagne envelope liners echo the card and make the mailing feel luxurious.
- 4
Echo the motifs at the venue
Fan shapes and gold geometry carry over to signage, menus and table numbers, which gives the whole day a consistent identity.

Questions about the Art Deco style
Is the background always navy?+
The style uses a luxurious navy or emerald background. Which one you get varies with each generation.
Does the gold look metallic?+
The artwork looks metallic on screen, but it prints as ordinary ink unless you work with a print shop on special foil.
Is Art Deco only for formal weddings?+
It reads as formal and glamorous. For a casual look, try modern minimal or boho.
How do I check the print?+
Order one proof from a print shop before the full run, and compare the dark areas and gold lines with the screen version.
What size and paper should I use?+
The finished card is 5×7 inches. The print file adds a 0.125 inch bleed and keeps text 0.25 inch inside the trim line. Heavy stock of 110 lb (300 gsm) or more suits the dark background, and an A7 envelope fits the card.
