Table for Two: a proposal invitation template
A reserved table in a dark restaurant. They tap the candle, the light spreads across the white tablecloth and two glasses, and the reservation card reads: a table for two, if you'll say yes.
The design
The whole invitation is one table, set for two, in a restaurant after dark: a white pressed tablecloth with its fold creases, a taper candle in a brass stick, two wine glasses, and a folded reservation card with their name on it in the maître d's hand. When they arrive the room is dark and the card too dim to read. A tap on the wick lights the candle, and the light runs out across the cloth, catches one glass, then the other, throws their shadows away from the flame, and the card reads: your question, whatever the occasion (a gala, prom, a plus-one, dinner itself), and "A table for two, if you'll say yes." Your note for them is tucked under the card. Lower down the same tablecloth holds the evening's menu (your letter, why them, the plan as the courses), the booking slip with the when and where, a few prints, and the P.S. They answer in the reservations book, two lines of equal weight: a Yes clinks the two glasses and the book is stamped "Confirmed, party of two"; a No is met with two after-dinner mints on a saucer, on the house, and "With thanks".
Colours and type
Table for Two comes in 3 colourways: Bordeaux room, white linen, Bistro green, brass and Midnight blue, rosé, with 2 type pairings: Maître d' and Brasserie. The colours and type change in the editor at any time; the layout stays its own.
