The Sponsors' Folder: a proposal invitation template
A velvet folder tied with silk and closed with a wax seal. Break the seal, open the cover, and the engraving inks in: a formal request to stand with you as your wedding sponsors.
The design
The way the most important requests have always been made: by hand, on engraved card, in a velvet folder tied with a silk ribbon and sealed in wax with your monogram. It lies on a damask tablecloth with their name on a gilt plate. They press the seal: it cracks in two and falls away, the ribbon slips off, and the cover swings open on its hinge. Inside, a heavy cotton card sits in four gilt corners, its plate mark pressed into the paper; the engraving is still blind, then the ink rises line by line: your names, "request the honour of", their name in copperplate, and the question with the role you chose for them, for one person or a couple. Behind it the folder holds the rest of the suite: your letter, the reasons, what standing with you involves, the card for the day, photographs in gilt mounts, and a tissue interleaf that makes no an easy answer. The reply card answers in the same language: a yes is tied with silk and sealed afresh; a no is laid under tissue and tied with a bow, kept with thanks.
Colours and type
The Sponsors' Folder comes in 3 colourways: Bordeaux velvet & gilt, Midnight velvet & silver and Emerald velvet & old gold, with 2 type pairings: Copperplate and Engraver's roman. The colours and type change in the editor at any time; the layout stays its own.
Who it suits
Made for wedding party and sponsor, in the Elegant & classic style.

You write your own words and add your photos in the live editor, send every guest a personal link by email or any messaging app, and follow the replies as they come in. Free for up to 10 people, with the full design.
More proposal templates
- The Letter: A folded letter on a desk: it opens on their name, handwritten, and the question. They answer by pressing one of two wax seals.
- Player Two: An arcade cabinet waiting in attract mode: "Player 2, press start". They press it, a little pixel scene plays, and the screen asks the question.
- Tick One Box: The note passed across the classroom, folded into a tight triangle with their name on it. They unfold it, read the question, and answer by ticking a box: Yes or No.
- The Corsage Box: A wrist corsage on satin in a clear florist's box, their name on the lid. Lift the lid and the ribbon tag slides out with the question and the occasion.
- Two Across: The weekend crossword, set by you for one solver. The starred clue is your question; the shaded answers are their name and the word date, and tapping them pens them in.
- Side B, Track Six: A mixtape made by hand. They open the clear case, the J-card folds out in marker and biro, and the last track on side B, ringed twice, is your question.
- Admit Two: A pair of cinema tickets, seats side by side. They tear off the stub to keep, turn it over, and the question is printed on the back.
- Par Avion: A paper plane folded from airmail paper waits on the desk with their name on the wing. One tap throws it: it loops the room, lands, and unfolds into the question.
