Absolutely beautiful The only thing I would suggest changing would be to print the text a little further down on the vellum so it is centered between the bow and the bottom of the invite. Does that make sense? I sell engraved wedding invitations for a living and that is how we do them.
Beautiful - I agree with the others... the bow should be a fabulous fabric (silk, satin, etc) something 'more' than what might be used everyday. Also I have a tough time typing them to be perfect so I've included a link to a thread on SCS in the past - for a perfect bow - tried it and it's is perfect every time & very easy, no tying. Hopefully this link will work, if not just copy/paste it into the address line. http://www.mostlyanimals.com/kristalhtml/tips/bow1.htm
This card is really lovely! The only thing I would suggest also has to do with the ribbon. If you don't want to have to tie a hundred or so perfect bows, you could do that ribbon addition where you punch two rectangles about 3/4 of an inch apart, put the two ends of the ribbon in going to the back and then crossing them and bringing them back out to the front. I personally like that way of adding a ribbon touch better than a bow, and it lays flatter for going in the envelope too.
You are really going to bless this couple!
I think your invitation is incredibly classy and well-done! I've received quite a few invitations with a bow and it always flattens funny and looks sort-of pathetic after mailing. I would agree with the suggestion above - it mails much better and would be easier, too.
