I love these brocade inspired invitations...such a great look for a modern, chic wedding....
To Make the Brocade Invitations...
Use istockphoto.com to find the right brocade pattern. Using Illustrator, size the brocade print to the appropriate invitation size (whatever you've chosen). Place a white rectangle, with a black border right in the center of the pattern, so that you have a space to typeset your text.
Print on the highest setting that your printer allows to ensure that the brocade pattern and your text is crystal clear. I recommend using an Epson for this type of invitation.
