It's all about color.

It's all about color. Leaves are bright with a myriad of fresh hues. Flowers are vibrant and intense. With all the promise of new life, it¹s no wonder spring and summer are popular seasons for couples to start their new life together.

Although our elegant white and ecru are still the most popular paper colors for wedding invitations, many brides today want more choices. So this year, we are offering our fine cotton papers in some lively new colors to reflect this joyful time of year. Add to these a palette of 36 engraving inks and dozens of striking envelope linings, and your creativity can begin to soar.

Sample invitations in these colors can be seen in our Wedding and Social Occasions Albums.

Once you've selected your color scheme, consider an engraved motif to accent your event's theme or location. Seashells or palm trees for the seashore, Adirondack chairs for the mountains, flowers or birds for a garden ceremony are just a few ideas. Our albums contain many more ideas and you always have the option to engrave your custom artwork.

We can offer you only a small number of examples online, so please visit a Crane retailer for more inspiration and to explore the virtually endless creative possibilities available on our fine cotton paper.
