Classic Gold Wedding Invitation Maker
The classic gold style is the traditional formal wedding card: an ornate gold foil-style border on an ivory card stock texture, with script names and serif details. The wording is already traditional, so the whole card feels like a formal invitation.
Add the couple's names, the date, the time and the venue, and PiCraft arranges them within the frame. The gold is part of the printed image, so you get the look of foil without foil printing.
This is the Classic gold style of the Wedding Invitation Maker. The form on this page opens with it already selected.

Getting the best Classic gold result
- 1
Mind the border
The ornate frame takes up space. Keep the venue and city lines short so they sit comfortably inside it.
- 2
Remember that gold is flat
The gold is printed as ink, not foil. For real foil, ask a print shop to quote a foil-stamping option and send them the file as a design reference.
- 3
Choose ivory or cream paper
The card has an ivory texture built in. Cream or ivory stock blends with it, and bright white stock can show the edges of the texture.
- 4
Order matching envelopes
A7 envelopes in ivory or a dark liner complete the formal look and fit the 5×7 inch card.

Questions about the Classic gold style
Is the gold real foil?+
No. It is a printed image designed to look like foil. Real foil needs a special print process, which some print shops offer.
Is the wording traditional?+
Yes. All wedding invitations from this maker use a traditional wording in English, and classic gold suits it best.
Will the ornate border print cleanly?+
Fine ornament prints best at 300 DPI on good stock. Use the print PDF with bleed and proofread the names and date on the card.
Can I send it digitally?+
Yes, with the share image. For a formal guest list, many couples also mail printed cards. See the guide to printing wedding invitations.
