The Register: a proposal invitation template
The register your sponsors will sign, open on a white marble table: pull the ribbon, the pages riffle to their folio, and the entry inks in with their name and the question.
The design
Sponsors are the people who sign the register, so the invitation is the register itself: a cloth-bound ledger open on a sunlit vestry table, its silk ribbon marking one folio. The guest pulls the ribbon and the title page and a few leaves riffle over to that folio, where the entry writes itself in iron-gall ink: the entry number, their name in copperplate, the question with the role you chose for them, and your own note pencilled in the margin. The rest of the folio is the register's form, filled in by hand: your remarks, the grounds for the request, what the sponsor undertakes (each line ticked in ink), the place and the date rubber-stamped, photographs held in corners, and a pencilled line that makes no as easy as yes. At the foot, the signature line, with a lacquered fountain pen waiting beside it: they can sign with their finger before they answer. A yes keeps their signature and the clerk's stamp lands, Entered; a no leaves the line clean, the ribbon laid across it, kept with thanks.
Colours and type
The Register comes in 3 colourways: Navy cloth & gilt, Sage cloth & old gold and Garnet cloth & gold, with 2 type pairings: Parish ledger and Civil register. The colours and type change in the editor at any time; the layout stays its own.
Who it suits
Made for sponsor and wedding party, in the Interactive style.
What is included
An invitation website with a page made for the one person you are asking, with your own note on why them and a reply they send with one tap. 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.
