It’s always a good day when an invitation from Kate at Wit + Delight shows up in my inbox. Â Kate sent over these fabulous custom invitations that she designed for a wedding taking place on Halloween. Â Danielle and Paul’s wedding reception will include a masquerade, so Kate designed an invitation inspired by the concept of a 1920s marquee and incorporating Danielle and Paul’s color palette of cream, gray, and pumpkin!
From Kate: The wedding is taking place on October 31st in the ruins of a historic factory called the Mill City Ruins, which is equal parts elegant and mysterious.  Paul and Danielle have done a great job balancing the intrigue and liveliness of Halloween without feeling kooky, or costume-y.  Their palette is mostly creams and grays, with a pop of pumpkin.
 
The entire evening is filled with non-traditional details – like a masquerade! – and Danielle really loved the idea of invitations inspired by a vintage marquee.  We incorporated eclectic typography and ornate shapes to reference the 1920s era.  The invitations were printed by Evolutionary Press on thick cotton stock that gives the design a really great texture.
Thanks Kate!

Love this! It definitely feels very circus-y, feels like an invite to a carnival.
These are so fantastic! I feel like having a halloween/masquerade type of event without the typical halloween look is SO hard to do, yet this suite is so finely composed!
Wow! What a show stopper! Would love to go to a wedding like this! 🙂
Wow! These are really super!
These are my invites!!! I got an email from my FSIL telling me that our invites were on a blog – It makes my heart happy that other people love them, and that Kate’s amazing work is being appreciated by people all over the place!!! 🙂
I looooove these! Halloween is one of my woulda/shoulda fantasy wedding dates… the other is New Year’s Eve!
Very nice! Sounds like it’s going to be a very special event! Congratulations Danielle and Paul! And great work Kate!
These are so fun! Love the typography & the colors!
These are beautiful! Great type and color choices.
