how to make a medieval party invitation

all my life i have played adventure games and solved the mysteries of the templar knights
preparing a 'princesses&knights' party was like starting to play an eagerly anticipated game
so worth to be sleepless! 
Step 1 : RESEARCH

creating the invitation with coat of arms, manuscripts, banners etc.

Step 2 : MATERIALS
enough research, going outside! finding some wooden sticks & duck feathers.
i try the most natural & original method.. thats the way i like

Step 3 : MUST LOOK AGED
used the natural dye to make paper look old.. by TEA

for real yellowish result tea must be warm & fresh btw
aaand making some spontaneous spots

Step 4 : SEALED YOUR MEDIEVAL LETTERTYPE
writing with the duck feather like the medieval calligraphers

the most fun part of the process..
attaching wooden sticks with glue gun, for cachet need the primary way; sealing wax!

Happy End!
i feel like a proud Mama-Knight, 
almost same feeling when i finished the game 'Gabriel Knight'
if you ever played GK, you know what i mean :)
