Shakespeare Sonnet 116 (CXVI) on Parchment Postcard

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.

Love this invitation! The postcard is such a cute and clever idea. Exactly what I was looking for. We are having a small ceremony beachside in Punta Cana but having a reception back home in Massachusetts when we return so this is the perfect invitation to send out for our hometown reception! It’s customizable so that’s really great. It’s the size of a typical postcard. Really like how you can just put a stamp on it and send it, eliminating the need for an envelope. The only issue- and it’s a personal one- is my reception date had to be changed due to a double booking at the reception hall so I unfortunately have to have these invitations recreated with the new date. I have to toss out 144 of these beautiful invitations and that hurts!!! Wish there was a way to salvage them. Luckily my wedding is next summer (June 2020) so I have plenty of time! Great product and fast shipping. Would definitely recommend. The colors were as expected. The print was great. I chose the matte finish so the picture at the top was not as “crisp and clear” as I had wanted so on round #2 of the invitation, I am going to go with the semi gloss finish for sure!
