About This Design
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.

I wanted a simple wedding invitation and went online to look and found Zazzle. I loved the choice of designs and the one we choose was perfect, we'rel having our wedding in our own barn and it matches perfectly. It was so easy to personalise our invitation. I must admit I wasn't 100% confident about the quality of product we would receive, however, we are over the moon with them and cannot fault lthem. The envelopes are also great quality. and they were well packaged. The printing was great, very clear and of good quality. We transferred our design onto a postcard invitation and it is a little off centre, this may have been my own oversight when using the design tool. It doesn't bother us as they look amazing and it is only very slight, we're absolutely delighted with them.

Easy to create. Easy to order. Easy to add additional thank you cards with the same photo but different wording.
We’ve had so many compliments on the cards as they are simply beautiful & a stunning thank you reminder of our Wedding Day for our guests. Perfect, just perfect. I didn't go for a gloss finish & the cards were just beautiful in matt as the finish of the card itself made the overall appearance high quality without the need for it to be glossed

Excellent quality. Images very clear & professionally done.
The only downside was I was short of envelopes but I’m guessing this was just an oversight. Images are very clear. Colours are perfect. Looks very well made.
