Art Deco is the most architectural of wedding styles. It borrows the skyscrapers, sunbursts and fan shapes of the 1920s and 30s and turns them into a frame for your names. Three things define the look:
- Colour — a metallic accent on a dark base: gold or champagne type set against black, deep emerald, midnight navy or charcoal. The bright-on-dark contrast is the whole signature.
- Type — geometric or high-contrast capitals with wide letter-spacing, paired with an elegant serif for the names. Clean, even strokes read as period-correct.
- Layout — strict symmetry and stepped, fan or chevron borders. Everything is centred, balanced and deliberate, like a theatre marquee.

Art Deco wedding invitation wording
The glamour of a Deco design is matched by formal, traditional wording: third person, courtesy titles, and the date and time spelled out in full. A black-tie or "1920s glamour" dress-code line fits the theme perfectly.

For an evening reception, "request the pleasure of your company" and a spelled-out time read as elegant and correct, while a dress-code line keeps guests in step with the theme. For more host-line options and a fill-in template, see the full wedding invitation wording guide and the strictly traditional examples on the formal wording page.
Gold looks richest on dark stock
Art Deco designs sing on a dark card with a true metallic accent. If you use a print shop, ask about gold foil or a metallic ink on black or navy stock — it lifts the geometry off the page. The 5×7 PNG you download here prints cleanly at home too; just choose a smooth, heavy card.

What makes a wedding invitation Art Deco?
Art Deco style is built on bold symmetry and geometry: stepped and fan-shaped borders, strong vertical lines, and a metallic accent — usually gold — set against a deep, dark background. The look is glamorous and formal, drawn straight from the 1920s and the world of The Great Gatsby.
What colours define an Art Deco wedding invitation?
Gold on a dark base is the signature: gold or champagne type on black, deep emerald, midnight navy or charcoal. The contrast is the point — luminous metallic against a rich, shadowy ground. You can recolour any template to your exact palette in the editor.
What font is right for an Art Deco invitation?
A geometric or high-contrast display face suits the era — clean capitals with strong, even strokes. Add wide letter-spacing and a formal serif for the names. The designs here pair a structured heading font with an elegant serif for a true 1920s feel.
