Wanted Cards Extra – Handfasting Ceremony Invitation

🌿 Wanted Cards Extra – Handfasting Ceremony Invitation

Handfasting is an ancient Celtic tradition that has found a beautiful place in modern weddings and commitment ceremonies. The ritual of “tying the knot” — quite literally — symbolizes the binding of two souls, their love, and their promise to journey together through life.

Today, handfasting can be part of Pagan and Wiccan ceremonies, but it’s also increasingly embraced by couples from all walks of life who want something personal, symbolic, and rich with meaning. You’ll see handfasting in weddings, vow renewals, and even elopements — sometimes as the centerpiece of the ceremony, and sometimes as a symbolic addition alongside other traditions.

For GCU artists, this means a wonderful opportunity to create invitation designs that honor heritage, spirituality, and love in equal measure. Think of soft natural tones, Celtic patterns, knotwork, ribbons, and elements from nature — such as ivy, oak leaves, wildflowers, or stone circles.

You might also consider versions that feel more rustic and earthy, as well as elegant or minimalist takes for modern Pagan couples. Handfasting ceremonies often happen outdoors — in forests, gardens, or meadows — so designs with greenery, sunlight, and natural textures will feel right at home.

Be sure to include both “Handfasting” and “Wedding Invitation” in your text or keywords, since couples searching may use either term.
