[QUOTE=nativetexan;8275077]first i would make certain of all words you are to use are correct. otherwise it could be a disaster. maybe something else would work better, still with a "french" theme.[/QUOTE

There are printable papers/fabrics that you can use as shown here.

The other option as mentioned is to ask someone with an EMB machine that can make the center panel for you.

Could you send the invitation to Spoonflower and have them make a center panel of fabric for you in the size you want? I've never done Spoonflower, but I know that they can make wonderful custom fabric inexpensively.

I'd find some one with an embroidery machine and pay them to do it.

It would be worth the money to find an embroiderer to do this by machine. The results would be stunning. If there isn't an embroiderer locally, try etsy. Check reviews.
