Details

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Prior to the invention of the Printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in 1447, weddings in England were typically announced by means of a Town crier: a gentleman who would walk through the streets announcing in a loud voice the news of the day. Traditionally, anyone within earshot became part of the celebration. In the Middle Ages, illiteracy was widespread, so the practice of sending written wedding invitations emerged among the nobility. Families of means would commission monks, skilled in the art of Calligraphy, to hand-craft their notices. Such documents often carried the Coat of arms, or personal crest, of the individual and were sealed with wax. Even today, the addition of a crest or seal is popular for "high society" wedding invitations, adding a touch of class.
