About This Design

Shakespeare Sonnet 116 (CXVI) on Parchment Invitation

Shakespeare Sonnet 116 (CXVI) on Parchment Invitation

What would life be without poetry in general - or Shakespeare in particular? A while back, I decided to make products using Shakespeare's sonnets, but I felt my design was a bit unfulfilled at the time, so I revamped it a bit to something more to my liking. Traditional yet original. The background is a parchment texture I made a while back, and I also found a calligraphic typeface for it that has the almost unique feature of having both historical gravity as well as modern legibility. Obviously there are lots of sonnets to get through, so if you like this design, but cannot find your favourite work by the bard already made in it, please email me at mail@galleryhakon.com to let me know and I'll get to it right away. This particular one is sonnet 116 (CXVI), which reads: Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark, That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. This is one of Shakespeare's most popular sonnets as it touches both on the subject of love while mentioning marriage, making the perfect wedding present, or valentine for a spouse or betrothed.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Ideally, you want to send out invitations 2-3 months before most events, such as birthdays. However, this isn’t always possible. If you can’t give that much notice, send them out as soon as all of the plans are confirmed. This will allow your guests as much time as possible to receive the invite and plan to accept the invitation.

However, the bigger and more important your event is, the more advanced notice you’ll want to give your guests. For example, wedding invitations can be sent even six months in advance.

Your invitations do not need to match the event theme, but doing so shows that you’re throwing a well-put-together occasion that suggests that every decision is intentional. Having a cohesive theme adds a nice detail that guests will surely appreciate.

For our invitations, you can print on both the front and back whether it’s for a design by one of our creators that already exists or a completely new design you create or customize.

You can edit the design on the back through our Design Tool and selecting "Layers." By customizing the back of your Shakespeare Sonnet 116 Cxvi On Parchment Invitation, you can have a more complete invitation and present more information to your potential guests, but don’t worry - you don’t have to add a design to the back if you prefer to just have a design in the front.

You’ll want to consider using high-definition printing, or HD printing, for important or larger images.

With our HD printing, we use CMYK ink to better generate a larger variety of images for better color accuracy, particularly when used for light pastel colors and skin tones. High-definition printing helps photos look livelier. This is because the colors will seem brighter and more realistic as lines will be crisper and details will be more clear, which is particularly important for larger images. Large images without HD printing may seem pixelated and low-quality.

We offer multiple size options for you to choose from. The 5"x7" is the most popular but all sizes have been selected based on popular invitation sizes customers buy. Be creative and pick a size that fits your event and style!

Our most popular paper is the Signature Matte Paper. Its sturdy 18 pt weight and natural feel make it the ideal choice for timeless, sophisticated events.

We offer thousands of invitation designs to make planning a memorable event a piece of cake. With a vast variety of designs that include Shakespeare Invitations and plenty of other themes. With the number of options we have we are confident you'll find one that suits your needs. Fully customizable and vibrant, these invitations will set the perfect tone for a joy-filled celebration.

If you’re looking for a personalized way to close your envelopes check out our envelope seals or our wax seals to make your invitations really stand out. You can also use existing or personalized rubber stamp designs to go along with the theme of your invitations. We have thousands of products and designs for your event to get your guests pumped up for the festivities.

We absolutely do! We have a wide variety of supplies that you can purchase to match your Shakespeare Sonnet 116 Cxvi On Parchment Invitation.

For example, you can browse our cards and posters. In the rare case where customers can’t find what they need, you can customize any design or talk to our customer support to better help you host your dream event.

It’s easy! Personalize, download & share in minutes rather than weeks. Purchasing a digital invitation gives you the flexibility to quickly send out event invitations and digitally save a copy of your invitation you can look at years later.

You can also choose to print your digital invitation on your printer, at a local print shop, from Zazzle, or all 3 if you want.

You can pick to download your custom Shakespeare Sonnet 116 Cxvi On Parchment Invitation in any of the following 4 file types: PNG, JPG, Standard PDF, and Print PDF. These 4 file formats have been selected so they cover all your inviting needs. PNG and JPG are great for sending your invitations online. All of these file formats are great if you want to print your invitations yourself. However, having unlimited downloads allows you to download all four formats for maximum versatility. You can even apply your digital download design to other popular products on Zazzle.
